Whether you're here for a quick visit or a longer stay, there’s always something going on. And if you need any tips or local recommendations, just ask — I’m always happy to point you in the right direction.

About Us
Hi and welcome!
I'm your host, Nikki, and it’s my absolute pleasure to welcome you to Summit Motor Lodge — your home away from home right here in beautiful Tauranga.
So, how did I end up here at Summit Motor Lodge?
Well, the first time I saw this place, I just knew it was special. Among all the Tauranga accommodation options I’d seen, Summit stood out immediately. It had a charm and a spaciousness that felt different — more inviting, more comfortable, and perfectly suited for both families looking for space and business travelers needing a relaxing, convenient stay. I couldn’t resist the opportunity to be part of it.
Our motel is not only one of the most spacious in the area, but it’s also designed with you in mind — whether you're here for work, a family holiday, a weekend escape, or even just passing through. Each unit is thoughtfully set up to give you room to breathe, unwind, and enjoy a restful stay.
We’re located just minutes from the Tauranga CBD, which makes us the ideal base for business travelers. And speaking of business, we offer some of the most competitive corporate rates in Tauranga — something our regular business guests truly appreciate. Fast Wi-Fi and a peaceful atmosphere help you stay productive while still feeling right at home.
If you're here on holiday, you’re in for a treat. Tauranga is one of the most vibrant and naturally beautiful places in New Zealand. From golden beaches and scenic walks to fantastic cafes and local attractions, there’s so much to explore.
The best part about being here? The people. Both the wonderful locals and our incredible guests bring so much joy to this place. There’s a real sense of community here at Summit Motor Lodge, and we work hard to make sure every guest feels it — from our warm welcome to the little details that make your stay extra special.
So whether you’re here for a night or a few weeks, I hope you’ll settle in, relax, and experience firsthand why so many people fall in love with Tauranga — and why Summit Motor Lodge is one of the best places to stay while you’re here.
Welcome again — and enjoy your stay!
Warmly,
