Guest Reviews

• Lockhart (10/5): a wonderful experience - It is an exceptionally peaceful and tranquil countryside setting—a true retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Renée and Kevin were wonderful hosts—warm, welcoming, and always helpful. We especially loved the breakfast, with its thoughtful homemade touches that made it feel extra special. We would highly recommend their luxury B&B to anyone looking to relax and treat themselves to a memorable getaway. it was perfect
• Madeleine (10/5): Wunderschönes Haus mit grossem Garten für viel Erholung - Die lieben Gastgeber sund sehr herzlich und geben viele wertvolle Tipps. Der Garten ist wunderschön. Etwas abgelegen….
• Christine (9/5): It was lovely to have breakfast provided, organised and cooked by the host. We ate with other guests and enjoyed each ot - Quiet, large rooms, comfortable lounge. Amazing breakfast.
• Jadyn (9/5): -
• Ivan (10/5): Super dejlig lodge og søde værter. Fuld valuta for pengene. Kan kun anbefales. - Meget lækkert indrettet fløj med værelser, smukt. Meget imødekommende værter, Renee og Kevin. Super dejlig morgenmad. Søde alcapacer. Lodge dejlig privat omgivelserne fantastiske. Intet at bemærke.
• Ruth (10/5): - Lovely hostess and property
• Kissel (10/5): A beautiful accommodation, enjoyed the great breakfast. The host was friendly and accommodating. -
• Lori (10/5): An unforgettable stay at Summit Lodge — Renee’s warm hospitality, immaculate rooms, and stunning, peaceful grounds make - We had such a wonderful stay at The Summit Lodge. From the moment we arrived, Renee was warm, welcoming, and genuinely engaging — the kind of host who makes you feel instantly at home. The room and guest lounge were absolutely immaculate, with every detail thoughtfully cared for. The property itself is just as impressive — the yard is beautifully maintained and such a peaceful place. We truly enjoyed our time here and only wish we had planned to stay longer. Our return trip to New Zealand will definitely include another stay at The Summit Lodge. There was nothing not to like about the property.
• Joanne Chiang-An (10/5): -
• Nick (8/5): A very clean and quiet base from where to explore the Wairarapa from with lovely hosts - Very clean and spacious room. A very peaceful place. Breakfast was fantastic and our host Renee was great. The guest wing lounge was very comfortable with some yummy chocolate and excellent tea/coffee selection. Our expectation (based on 'summit' being part of the property's name and the road it is on) was we would have a view of the valley from an elevated location. This is not the case as the lodge is located near the bottom of the hill. We also found the bed hard and uncomfortable, but we do understand a firm bed might be to some peoples liking.
• Maryanne (10/5): - Excellent B&B with wonderful hosts.
• FATIMA (10/5): Hidden gem! - We had a wonderful stay! Renee was very friendly and helpful, and gave tips on the area and things to do. We had a lovely made-to-order breakfast!
• Nick (9/5): A wonderful, restful B & B with excellent hosts, near some great vineyards and food. - An excellent breakfast, muesli with fresh fruit followed by nicely cooked scrambled eggs on toast with mushrooms and crispy bacon, cooked by our host on the spot. She herself was very engaging and gave us very useful advice about local features. The room was very private but there is an adjacent comfortable lounge with fridge. The Lodge is surrounded by fruit trees (including figs) and wonderful bird life. There are even alpacas. My wife and I enjoyed the peace and quiet of the Lodge. The host generously gifted us a bag of figs as we left, knowing how much we liked the fruit. Nothing.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean, comfortable, nicely furnished room, with seating outside on a private patio. Beautiful grounds, trees and plants to enjoy. Breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed talking with the owner/host.
• Gary (10/5): It was a great choice, from the hosts to the accommodation it was superb. Bonus was a lovely bar and restaurant 5 minute - Everything it was so cozy. Nothing it was beautiful.

• James (10/5): Amazing stay!! - Love facilities! Peaceful with lovely birdsong.
• Alina (10/5): Wonderful serene surprise - 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

• Maureen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Martin (7/5): Very relaxing and comfortable, a little disappointed by the breakfast. - Our host was very friendly and welcoming. Great shower with modern bathroom, bedrooms were attractive and the beds comfortable. Breakfast was very minimal, continental with few choices, I was not asked about food allergies. Website needs updating I thought it was going to be a cooked/hot breakfast
• Edward (8/5): Very good -
• David (10/5): see above - the host was very congenial, a spacious relaxing environment. an opportunity to meet and feed the alpacas. nothing

• Jane (10/5): - The Summit Lodge is a lovely property tucked away in the countryside outside Masterton. The gardens are idyllic, the rooms are comfortable and beautifully furnished, and the hosts, Renee and Kevin are wonderful. We would go out of our way to stay there again.
• Nicholas (10/5): Excellent accommodation in an ideal setting. - 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.
• Corrina (9/5): Superb - 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.
• George (10/5): We had a very comfortable one night stay. - We were not hungry but what we had was good. A lovely comfortable stay over accommodation. Some more fresh fruit for breakfast.

• Manuele (8/5): Very good - 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.
• Gilles (10/5): - Quality , quite place and easy drive to many Martinborough région interests.
• Andrew (10/5): - A beautiful location, warm friendly hosts, couldn't ask for more
• Paige (10/5): - The hosts are great, the property very well maintained, the location was very quiet and located in some beautiful country. Great for a base for some nice country drives and wine and if you enjoy alpacas, they have them too.
• Debra (10/5): Gladstone get away lodge - The room was luxury. The views, porch, lounge was spacious. The lodging was tucked away on an alpaca farm with fruit trees and an open sunny courtyard.
• Jamie (10/5): - A lovely tranquil spot, made all the better by the fact the shared facilities were not shared as it was just us.
• Martin (10/5): Very homely - Very friendly welcome. Excellent home cooked meal which we enjoyed eating together with the hosts and other guests.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely property with extremely helpful and friendly hosts. Amenities were top notch. Tracy prepared a fire in the fireplace, left fresh cookies out and generally added thoughtful touches at every turn. I highly recommend this beautiful place!
