I had a lovely stay. The room was very comfortable and thoughtfully designed featuring a fully equipped kitchen that made my stay feel like home. I especially enjoyed the private deck perfect for morning coffee and relaxing evening drinks. The property itself was warm and inviting the pool area was clean and well-maintained. My only suggestion for improvement would be to add lounge chairs to lay on and a few side tables by the pool for added comfort. Overall a wonderful experience and a place I would happily return to.

The room was very clean and well-equipped but really could benefit from some refurbishment. The bed was comfortable and made up daily to a very high standard. The shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water The receptionist was pleasant and welcoming and the cleaning staff were helpful and responsive. Overall, this is a very good place to stay.

Stayed at Summit Motor Lodge in Tauranga and was really impressed! The place was clean, comfortable, and the service was friendly and welcoming. The location is super convenient — close to shops and easy access to the motorways. But the best part for us was that it’s pet friendly, which made our stay so much easier and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place to stay in Tauranga!
