How to find the Summit Lodge
Location
The Summit lodge is situated in the rural Gladstone district of Wairarapa with views of rolling hills, farmland and the Tararua Ranges . Close enough to Martinborough, Greytown, Carterton and Masterton as well the coastal resorts of Castlepoint, Riversdale and Flatpoint; Gladstone is on the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail and is an ideal base from which to explore the Wairarapa region.
Gladstone is regarded as one of the most picturesque parts of the Wairarapa and is a convenient place to stop when travelling between Wellington and Hawkes Bay or Taupo.
