Rene was an amazing host. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and made with local ingredients. It is close to the main wine district (how we came across the property) but is worth just staying there. The property is serene with farm animals, groves, beautiful landscaping, and bird song. The room was large and comfortable with a private bath and patio. The place was also stylish and well decorated. We would love to stay here again the next time we visit NZ and would definitely recommend to friends and family if they plan a future trip there as well.

No complaints

Lovely place in the countryside for anyone who needs a break from the hectic life of the city. The position is strategic to reach more touristic destinations such as Masterton, Martinborough and Castlepoint. The host has been really kind and available, providing information on the surrounding area. Me and my partner appreciated the provided breakfast, which included some fruits locally grown at the Lodge.

We loved our stay at Summit Lodge. It was only one night - I think 2 or 3 nights would be great if you were really exploring the Wairarapa. Hosts Nigel and Sandie were friendly and helpful, with the right blend of privacy too. As the only guests, we had the guest wing to ourselves, which has a generous sized and comfortable lounge. Sandie had brownies on offer and we could make tea and coffee. The rooms are tastefully furnished and I appreciated the choice of different thickness pillows. We had a nice dinner at the local pub (delicious pork belly), which is 2 minutes away. Nigel gave us a ride there and the pub kindly returned us. Great breakfast and lovely grounds!

Had a lovely stay with Renee and hubby at The Summit Lodge. The weather was fantastic, very hot and Renee ensured the communal space air-con was on which was a plus for me. Also I got my wires crossed in terms of bedding but Renee arose to last minute changes and it was no problem to ensure our needs were catered to.

We really loved our weekend stay at The Summit Lodge. The bedroom was beautifully comfortable with a lovely leafy outlook. The shared living room was well set up with coffee, tea and home baking. Sandie and Nigel were terrific hosts and we enjoyed eating breakfast while we chatted to them. Sandie cooked dinner for us on our first night and the meal was delicious. They drove us to the nearby Gladstone pub the next evening, and the pub drove us home after the meal. We were able to charge our ev overnight in their garage which was helpful. We highly recommend staying here, a lovely peaceful spot with lots to do in the area- and alpacas to feed!

Hospitable and charming owners, well located to explore area. Bedroom and guest lounge beautifully appointed. Extensive gardens, including alpacas.

Difficult to think of anything. Duvet was a bit heavy.

Great country location. Room comfortable and clean. Friendly hostess and excellent breakfast.

Nothing could be better.

spacious, comfy room and separation of guest wing from host residence was ideal. Super welcoming and friendly hosts made us feel really welcome but also gave us our space.

Hospitality is very good and the venue very clean as well. Beautiful garden and a quiet place to stay if you just want to kick back and relax. Would definitely stay there again.

Just the traveling.

We were not hungry but what we had was good. A lovely comfortable stay over accommodation.

Some more fresh fruit for breakfast.
