Blanket Bay

Relais & Chateaux · Alpine country lodge · Near Glenorchy, at the northern head of Lake Wakatipu, about 45 minutes from Queenstown

A grand alpine lodge of reclaimed schist and native timber, much of it salvaged from old South Island railway bridges, set where the lake meets the Humboldt Mountains. Accommodation runs from main-lodge rooms and suites to standalone chalets and an exclusive four-bedroom villa. The remove from town is the point: this is a base for the Routeburn, the Dart Valley and Mount Aspiring National Park.

Why we recommend it

A Relais & Chateaux wilderness lodge for travellers who want the Southern Alps at the door and town at arm's length.
