We can provide you with endless ways to help restore your physical and spiritual well-being in this enchanting corner of New Zealand.

Here are some suggestions that will help you plan your stay at the lodge.

  • Check in-We would encourage you to try and arrive before six o'clock in the evening. This will allow you to settle into your room and enjoy some of the facilities before pre dinner cocktails.
  • Activities-We suggest you do not pre book activities as weather is often a factor. On arrival we will offer you the many different options and tailor these to suit your stay. An exception to this rule is fishing guides. Fly fishermen should reserve guides in advance.
  • Milford Sound-We recommend you take the scenic helicopter flight or fly with Glenorchy Air.
  • Scenic Helicopter Flights - Blanket Bay, in association with Heliworks, offers you the chance to experience a birds-eye view of this breathtaking landscape.
  • Hiking - Walk the nearby Routeburn and Greenstone Tracks. Blanket Bay is a great 'recovery' option having hiked The Milford Track often described as "the finest walk in the world".
  • Horseback riding and mountain biking can be arranged by the front office team at the lodge.
  • Fishing and Heli-fishing - Legendary American travel writer Zane Grey once described New Zealand as "an angler's El Dorado". Our professional guides can take you to wild and untouched rivers offering the best fly-fishing in the world.
