Summit Motor Lodge

Summit Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"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."
