Accommodation at Blanket Bay is provided in five intimate lakeside rooms, three phenomenal suites, and four beautiful chalet suites all filled with sumptuous furnishings and rich rugs. Natural materials are employed widely throughout, reflecting the Lodge’s special relationship with the environment, and all the rooms are placed to take full advantage of the magnificent lake and mountain views.
The five intimate Lakeside Lodge Rooms feature their own balcony or terrace; king-size bed; armoire; and ensuite bathroom with granite-topped double vanities, separate shower, and bath.
Three magnificent 700 sq ft Suites offer a bedroom and sitting areas which have their own stone fireplace, capacious bathroom with steam shower and separate tub and 400 sq ft private terraces, which feature heart-stopping views of the Lake.
The Chalets reflect New Zealand colonial architecture and complement the main Lodge through the use of schist stone and timber beams. Each chalet comprises two 700 sq ft suites with open stone fireplaces and a central living room. The Stoney Creek Suites may be combined with the living room to create The Richardson Staterooms.
All rooms are equipped with complimentary high-speed internet connection, TVs, and DVDs.
