  We stayed at The Summit Lodge on an impromptu getaway from our busy Wellington lives, and it's hard to imagine how it could have been better. We were able to arrange pickup from the Carterton train station, and a ride into Masterton the following morning. We were spoiled as the only guests during our stay, but with a maximum of three rooms and six guests, it's easy to imagine finding seclusion when desired. Tracey and Jim are very accommodating hosts who struck a good balance between friendliness and discretion, engaging in genial conversation, but discretely retiring to give us privacy at dinner, in the evening, and at breakfast. They were willing and able to cater for our dietary preference (vegan), with a generously portioned delicious home cooked three course dinner, and good breakfast options. It was also nice to hear and see evidence of the lodge's commitment to environmental sustainability. The lodge itself is purpose built as a guesthouse, and it shows. Blending classic southern European and NZ styles with modern comforts, the lodge is charming and well appointed, and thankfully avoids leaning on the over used and rarely beneficial euphemism "rustic". The entrance foyer and kitchen where meals are served are big and welcoming (pictures don't quite do it justice). The rooms are cosy, clean and tidy, and have everything you'd expect at a premium level (air con, bath robes, good king bed, etc). The guest lounge is just like big home living room. There's a large (large!) catalogue of DVDs, and a home theatre setup with a decent sound system, putting the best "in room entertainment" to shame. We enjoyed our evening watching movies, munching on the snacks the left out for us and playing chess on their fancifully carved chess set (once you get to grips with which pieces are what!). Our only regrets are not staying longer, and not coming in summer; two matters we may well address!
