This place is FANTASTIC. We had a car rental so not sure about public transit, but the location was awesome, super close to the main hub, the mountain, the beach, the shops and restaurants. The suite itself was SUPER clean and immaculate. Shirley had such nice little touches that made our stay comfortable and pleasant. She was an amazing host! She provided helpful information and great suggestions for things to do and places to visit and eat at. (be sure to go to cafe 88 by the way. Shirley suggested this to us and it was delicious) She was a great communicator, a wonderful host and was very helpful. I loved this city and loved staying here and would absolutely book it again and recommend it to anyone visiting Tauranga. It is fabulous and you won’t be disappointed! Loved it here! Five star experience for sure!
