However this motel is out of the way and you really need a car to go exploring. The motel is a little dated especially the bathroom. the bedroom was spacious and comfortable however the TV felt like it was going to fall off the wall as the mount wobbled. Parking was ok as high outside our room but could see it being tight for some people. We met the owner on checking out the following morning who was lovely along with their dog - so cute. He also informed us that the motel is pet friendly so worth bearing in mind if you are travelling with a pet. It wasn't the best motel but was ok and can't fault the service or the cleanliness of the room. ##### Jules Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### G M 29 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### An Overnight Stay Room was very clean, warm and well presented. Check-in was smooth and friendly staff. Our room was adjacent to busy main road so a little noisy through the night - would definitely stay here again though but will ask for room away from main road. ##### G M Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 7 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### has a pool & A spa .

The owner was friendly and helpful when checking in, whilst showing me to our room., parking for our rental car was outside the room. Our room was a n excellent size with an equipped kitchen. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. Quick wifi was included in the room. ##### gamain Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### John, Waikato 12 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Basic but clean and tidy The rooms are a bit dated. The shower is a good height if your short. Parking is awkward for some rooms. Staff were friendly. Overall it was an okay experience. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Norman 28 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great motel with everything you need - liked the separate kitchen area from the bedroom. Only downside is it is a bit out of the way from Tauranga and Mount Maunganui but, with a car, we preferred it for the quiet. Manager and assistant were really great - very helpful when I needed to pay the toll online \[found myself on a toll road, recently built in finding the motel\]. ##### Norman ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 18 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Friendly staff, clean and tidy, good cooking facilities although decor was in the 70's ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Bob, Tokoroa 13 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice Motel Nice room, with A/C, and sliding doors on to a small patio, which looked out on to a bit of lawn and a no-exit street, so we had a peaceful area to relax in. Traffic on Waihi Rd was a bit hectic, so entering and exiting the motel was a bit of a gamble, especially in rush hour. However the friendly staff and clean rooms (maybe a little dated) made up for it. ##### Bob Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Jørgen 7 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### fint udgangspunkt fin oplevelse til de penge - kan anbefales. ##### Jørgen Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### ScottFlroid, Flroida, USA 3 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Well suited to our needs. More than adequate. We booked from a distance and weren't certain that location was right for us. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised. The staff were very attentive and helpful. ##### ScottFlroid Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jade, Adelaide, SA 26 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Family friendly hotel beautifully presented We stayed for 13 nights and had an amazing time! 1 bedroom apartment was perfect for me husband and 2 kids. Pool and spa was sparkling clean. Rooms were cleaned to an exceptional standard daily. All staff were friendly and approachable. From the beds to the towels to the shampoo all were top quality. Steve and his team went out of Their way to ensure we had a perfect holiday. We will be back again for sure! ##### Jade Stayed 13 nights in Feb 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Noela, Redcliffe, Queensland 25 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice motel in good location Very clean and comfortable motel with good facilities. Would be happy to return. The address is a bit misleading as our GPS did not pick up that Waihi Road is in 2 pieces and we drove around quite awhile before finally reaching our destination. May be better to have the address as the side street where the entrance to the motel actually is. ##### Noela Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie 21 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay We only stayed one night but from check-in to check-out everything was great. Friendly, helpful staff who made you feel welcome. We were happy with our room which faced onto a quiet street and was quite roomy. Shower was good and bed comfy, although hubby found it a bit too soft. Swimming pool was excellent especially in this hot weather. It's a pity we didn't have more time there as I could've lounged by the pool all afternoon. We definitely would stay here again. ##### Natalie ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clive 13 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice clean. Good Location ##### Clive Stayed 1 night in Feb 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 6 Feb 2018 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Rude staff. Won't stay again. Reception was incredibly rude. Parking was ridiculous. Decided to leave after one night of my 3night stay. I told reception about some maintenance issues with the room and was accused of causing said damages.. not impressed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 20 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very good, but the stove didn’t work ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bernadette, Auckland 14 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice hotel and close to the motorway.

I would so stay there again and i’ve already told friends. Just a short drive and you have shops restaurants and the beach what more could you ask for. ##### karoline Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Glad we stayed here Very nice setup, super quick internet, away from the touristy area, but easy to get to city centre and it’s definitely great for kids. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 7 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities As a recent widow, I booked a single room with a queen size bed. Expedia / Summit Lodge allocated me a room with a queen and three twins, which I was charged for, at a higher rate than the single room. The front-desk man was inflexible. He said they were fully booked and it could not be changed. After lengthy discussion ( he seemed incapable of understanding that a room with four beds, three of which would be unused and empty is not a happy scene for me) he miraculously found a vacant room with a queen and only ONE single bed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Javed, Singapore 3 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice homely environment - Clean Hotel Had a great experience at this motel. The room was nice and clean and the owner was very friendly and helpful. Location was also good. ##### Javed Stayed 1 night in Nov 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 2 Jan 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort Not enough pillows, fan pushed shower curtain onto you in shower, shower temperature kept changing hot to cold, no bread board in kitchen, only blunt knifes, balcony was joined along front with others, staff friendly. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann, Lower Hutt 30 Dec 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fabulous We have stayed in a lot of places, usually 4 or 5 star, and this would have to be the cleanest most comfortable accommodation ever. I am OCD when it comes to cleanliness and Summit Lodge has surpassed all expectations. The beds are super comfortable, with waterproof protectors on them, which is fabulous, the toiletries were superb, especially the hand/body lotion. The towels are beautifully soft and fluffy. An A++++ experience. Thank you so much and we will definitely be back. ##### Ann Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### juliet, christchurch NZ 30 Dec 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Affordable and Clean Nice motel.
