Lodge Amenities
Situated on an expansive 60,000 acre property known as the Wyuna High Country Station, Blanket Bay Lodge has a vast outdoor area and a range of services and amenities to make your stay truly memorable.
The Great Room
Vast in scale and space, this spectacular room lies at the heart of the lodge. Thirty-foot high, bridge beam trussed ceilings are set above enormous windows framing the spectacular scenery beyond.
Comfortable and inviting lounge suites draw guests in to enjoy a good book or just watch the ever changing view. During the cooler evenings the roaring fire lends itself perfectly to pre-dinner cocktails or post dinner conversation.
Dining Room & Terrace
Meals are served at individual tables in the spacious main Dining Room, or you may prefer to sit outside and enjoy views across the Lake and Southern Alps.
Further intimate dining options are located on the ground floor, where our Wine Cave may be reserved for up to four guests and the tasting room for up to six.
Our Kitchen
Award winning Chef Dan Reynolds heads up the Blanket Bay kitchen and showcases New Zealand’s finest, fresh produce sourced from around the South island.
The Den
Guests are welcomed to the Den for an aperitif or to sample our range of seasonal cocktails and canapés before dining each evening. It’s a great place to meet friends, swap stories and catch up on the day.
Wine Cave & Tasting Room
For a private and more intimate dining option the Wine Cave may be reserved for up to four guests while our Tasting Room can be booked for up to six.
Games Room
Complete with pool table, shuffle board, darts board and big screen TV, the Games Room is the perfect spot if you have a few spare moments during the day.
