“Simply Awesome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2011

I have just returned from a week at the Sommit Motor Lodge with a school netball team. Judith and Mike were wonderful and nothing was too much trouble - greeting the girls with chocolate frogs when their spirits were down :) The rooms we had were excellent, very clean, comfortable, warm and quiet. They had everything we needed to make this busy week much easier. They offered the conference room downstairs which is perfect for teams/meetings. It has large room with separate kitchen and own toilet....made my week 100% manageable. Shops and garage across the road which was perfect. Would recommend the Sommit to anyone and will be working hard on returning.....without 12 teenage girls :) Thanks again Judith, Mike and team (including Molly) for making this week a great success.

Room Tip: I would suggest that any room would be perfect for your stay

Many thanks you for your comments. We really enjoy having school teams and families visit us at the Summit and have worked hard to make sure their stays are enjoyable and relaxing. We are rewarded by the positive energies of the youngsters and the respect they show the other guests in the complex.

“Mike & Judith Simply The Best!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2011

On the 4th of July my partner & I stayed at Summit Motor Lodge in Tauranga. Conveniently, shops are directly across the road including a takeaway. And although you have excellent, full cooking facilities, it was great to have the option of NOT cooking! The unit was really lovely and warm. Love the electric blankets too! But what we most loved was meeting you Mike and Judith. Nothing was too much for you, in fact you went out of your way and I even got a sleep-in :) Sorry no comment on the restaurant as we ate out, but will try next time. And hey, they have swimming pool AND a spa pool! Fantastic! We will be telling our work team and everyone else to stay with you. Thanks so, so much!! Looking forward to another freddo frog too :) To all our FB friends, PLEASE support this motel, because we think Mike & Judith are really lovely people!!

“Great accommodation for both families and sports teams”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2011

Great place to stay for our sports team, our hosts (Mike and Judith) were extremely helpful and accommodating. The rooms were spacious and clean and we were within a short drive of the main town centre. We would definitely recommend Summit Motor Lodge as a place to stay for both travelling teams and familes.

“We loved it here, very welcoming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2011

I managed a sports team and we stayed here, Mike and Judith were so helpful and welcoming. Always ready with answers for any questions and requests. the rooms were lovely we had 5 of them, has all you need. we also booked the conference room for the duration which was a "god send" oven, and dishwasher, large conference room to have meetings and all meals. The location is a PLUS also, just a 2-3 minute drive to the QEII Stadium. We would definitely stay here again.
