Blanket Bay launches ‘Ultimate Alpine Honeymoon Package’

Just married couples are invited to begin their lifetime together in complete lap of luxury with the ‘Ultimate Alpine Honeymoon Package’ at one of the world’s most exclusive and handsome getaways.

Set on the edge of New Zealand’s Mount Aspiring National Park, Blanket Bay offers all the ingredients to perfectly accommodate romantic honeymooners; sharing wild spectacular nature, intimate fire-side moments and spectacular alpine scenery amid the resort’s all-inclusive five-star service.

Blanket Bay is situated a short distance from Queenstown in Glenorchy and is just a three hour flight from Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, making it a sublime summer or winter destination.

The property’s long-standing General Manager Philip Jenkins said many newly married couples came to stay at Blanket Bay, which gave cause to create the specially tailored Ultimate Alpine Honeymoon Package

The Package features five nights in a luxury lodge or chalet suite looking to the beautiful Lake Wakatipu and peaks of the Humboldt mountain range, where flowers and champagne await its guests on arrival. Couples can choose to enjoy a five-course dinner at a superb choice of locations each evening and on one evening cosy up for a private candlelit dinner staged in Blanket Bay’s exclusive Wine Cave. Also included in the package is a spectacular alpine gourmet picnic for two at the nearby Wyuna High Country Station.

“We specialise in making every couple’s stay with us an amazing experience, ensuring that not only are there little romantic touches in certain places but that each couple has an opportunity to share an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon together. This is why we’ve devised our Ultimate Alpine Honeymoon Package,” he said.

“Just recently a guest proposed to his partner following a romantic candlelit dinner at the Lodge. He popped the question just outside their chalet under the stars and surrounded by candles. Naturally we helped prepare this special evening setting for the special moment.”

If simply indulging at Blanket Bay is not enough, then there’s an amazing array of adventure awaiting, all readily on hand and easily organised for guests. These include trekking, skiing and heli-skiing, jetboating, kayaking, fishing, horse riding, trips to the world famous Milford Sound plus 4WD tours to name a few.

For those that really want to go over the top, Blanket Bay has devised their Over the Top Honeymoon Picnic addition. From the lawns of Blanket Bay the couple will lift off via helicopter to fly to a choice of spectacular mountaintop locations overlooking Lake Wakatipu for a private gourmet champagne picnic Here they are left alone to enjoy the gourmet hamper, waltz to a melody on the wind-up gramophone or simply lie back and absorb the scenery. Location choices includes Lake Isobel, Sleepy Hollow, Hanging Rock, Emerald Tarn and top of the spectacular Humboldt Range. An additional cost applies for this remote once-in-a-lifetime experience.
