Tauranga's fourth goal came in the 54th minute and it was a fitting reward for a memorable debut from new signing Simon Millet. The young Frenchman, looks accomplished on the left wing and he finished well after a fine pass from Josh Nelson.
Ellerslie had their moments in the second spell, forcing goalkeeper Tom Pamment to make some good stops.
Eventually he was beaten for a consolation goal.
Next week they travel to play bottom club Ngaruawahia who have just two wins all season.
Tauranga coach Lowry was rightly pleased with the convincing 4-1 victory over a side that defeated his team earlier in the season.
"I am very happy considering they are one of the two teams that have taken three points off us this season. Nice to get a bit of revenge and especially with games in hand we keep everyone honest up top," Lowry said.
The debut performance by Millet was another pleasing factor for Lowry.
"He arrived here about three months ago and he had two weeks with us training. I wanted him more than he wanted us. He was travelling with his girlfriend and I phoned him two weeks before the transfer deadline. I lose three players soon so I signed three more. "He is special player because he is left footed and there are very few of them that come to the club."
