We only stayed one night visiting family but we liked what we saw. We have been to Katikati before and there is much to see and do. Great variety of shops - op shops, pottery, art gallery and of course the cycle way. Clean and tidy town.

Katikati is a really nice nz town with a good range of cafes and shops. There is easy access to bush and country walks and to the coast. We had excellent breakfasts at the Chrome cafe (Avocado with everything!)

The hotel was very clean and tidy especially the bathroom. We went to the dining room to have dinner and the place was packed out and we were going to have to wait about 30 minutes for a pizza and my brother decided not to eat at the and went back to his room and the staff got miffed with me and said they wanted the money for the meal and room. I said I just wanted to pay for the meal and we would pay for the room the next day. My waitress treated me like a 2nd class person, I felt uncomfortable around the lady. The next day we went back and ordered a pizza and it was lovely and the waitress was much nicer.

I liked how peaceful and spaced out the town was. Not a lot going on but activities includes, great deal for avocados, bookstore by Ti Tree, cute little bakery and cafe spots, pottery, bird gardens, train tracks/historic mine area, museum and murals. Very scenic with hidden restaurants like Falls Retreat - provided you have a booking beforehand as they usually have booked out tables. Waihi beach and the fish and chip store is a classic for a beach day - tip: order the food from the store first and then go in the water as wait times are 30-50mins due to busy-ness. Easy to get around town by car.

Katikati is a friendly town close to bush walks, beaches and Tauranga. There are some lovely places to stay and eat and the locals are helpful. SH 2 is a pain and getting in to Tauranga can be frustrating.

Love the town, quiet and peaceful, the people are lovely and also respectful. Me and my partner travelled just around the corner of purple hens to a mate of mine as it was his birthday. So it was great to be close by, rather having to travel some more to get to him. I loved how flowery the town was because it gave a nice Aroma to the towns atmosphere. Unfortunately me and my partner only stayed for one night and had to head home but that one night was enough for me and her to come to the arrangement that we were going to go back there in the future as I said earlier, love the town, quiet and peaceful, the people are lovely and also respectful.
