We decided late in the week to stay in Tauranga and Shirley was more than accomodating, including great communication, options for our continental breakfast, as well as a host of other small touches which really made our stay lovely. I would definitely recommend her place as a base for the Mount or Tauranga, as its really handy and nice to come home too after a day at the beach, shopping or just hitting one of the nice local cafes nearby.
