Beyond 5 Stars - Perfect Family Stay!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

We just spent 3 amazing nights at Blanket Bay, and honestly, I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. The team here is something special - they went above and beyond for us. What really stood out was how they catered to everyone in our family. We all wanted different things from our stay, and somehow they managed to exceed everyone's expectations. They were especially wonderful with my mum, who has mobility issues. From the moment we arrived, they made her feel so welcome and comfortable - it really meant a lot to us. The food is genuinely world-class. Every meal was an adventure, and dining in the cave on our last night was absolutely magical. They really know how to make each meal special. The location is stunning, the service is perfect, and the attention to detail is incredible. This place has everything right - from the big things down to the smallest details. If you're wondering if it's worth it - yes, absolutely yes! Special shout-out to all the staff who made our stay unforgettable. You've set the bar impossibly high for everywhere else we'll stay!

My stay at the Blanket Bay resort was divine. Staff greeted us warmly upon arrival and gave us a tour of the property and amenities. It is a quaint, quiet, peaceful and exclusive resort with the most phenomenal views - a true slice of heaven. Our villa was gorgeous – clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. The food was amazing and the staff were super-friendly. We also enjoyed the spa and the therapist was great. My only complaint was that we didn’t stay longer. Highly recommend this gem!

We had a very nice three-night stay at Blanket Bay. The property is spectacular, with so much space it often feels like you've got the place to yourself. The food was exceptional and very well portioned - we always left dinner feeling full but not overly so. The wine our sommelier picked out for us each night was perfect, and we especially enjoyed the pre-dinner cocktail hour in the bar before dinner each night. We wound up making friends with another couple, which was great fun. The room was spacious, the bed firm and very comfortable. We had just a few qualms, though, including very unflattering lighting in the bathroom and the fact that there was an adjoining room to ours where other guests were staying (we had wrongly assumed their cabin/villa options were all their own self-contained units). Another issue that I'd love to see them remediate is to add some anti-bird collision stickers to the windows. The views are beautiful from the room, but a swallow flew into our window while we were there. When I went to check on it I found other dead swallows under the window - a pretty distressing discovery. Other than that, though, everything was very enjoyable, and I would recommend a stay at Blanket Bay to anyone visiting NZ.

One of the best

We had an outstanding two night stay at Blanket Bay and wish we were there even longer. The stand out of the hotel is the staff, they are truly above and beyond and we felt we would struggle to match their brilliance else where. From the moment you arrive you feel like you’ve arrived somewhere special, you are greeted with a warm smile and tour of the property, then guided to your room with your luggage neatly stowed away. There is no formal check in process and chargeable items are billed to your room using your first name so you never need to sign anything. Whilst dangerous for the wallet, the lack of a transactional feeling makes it feel like you are a guest in someone’s house. Dinner is included in the stay, the food is expectational with set menu items changing every night. Even though it was cold outside, you can comfortably sit outside for dinner taking in the breathtaking scenery due to the many heaters, blankets and fires around to warm you up. We stayed in a chalet suite, although a bit dated and slightly tired, it was extremely clean and comfortable with amazing views. We can’t really fault the hotel and its team, we loved every second of our stay apart from having to leave at the end!

Thanks for a super relaxing stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

We stayed a night here as part of our New Zealand road trip to get a night’s luxury on our trip, and it certainly gave us that. The hotel is a bit like a Scottish lodge with lots of stone and wood, very cosy. The rooms and the hotel overlook the lake, it’s a stunning location. We had the dinner and breakfast package, the food was excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There’s also a games room where you can play pool, darts etc. and help yourself to drinks, and also there’s walks you can do around the hotel, plus Glenorchy village is a short drive away
