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.

Over Night Stay

Lovely property in rural Gladstone, unfortunately we were only there one night so didn't get to wander around the beautiful garden. We were well looked after by Tracey and would recommend to anyone wanting to escape a town environment.
