Katikati, New Zealand
For more great information, photos and video about New Zealand, see PleaseTakeMeTo's New Zealand Travel Guide -
Once awarded the title of New Zealand's 'Most Beautiful Small Town', Katikati is a charming little town often described as 'picture perfect'. Set against a beautiful, rural green backdrop, the town is famous for the murals added to many of its buildings by local residents, reflecting the area's history and cultural influences. Art lovers will also want to take in the many other pieces of outdoor art, including the Haiku Pathway, a pleasant walking trail that follows the Uretara Stream and is lined with boulders engraved with haiku poems.

Katikati ‘New Zealand’s Mural Town' - Bay of Plenty, New Zealand
The rural town of Katikati was founded by settlers from Ulster in Ireland, but the district was populated by Maori long before Europeans arrived.
In recent years, Katikati has called itself the ‘mural town’. More than 35 works of art in and around the main street - murals, sculptures and carvings - pay homage to the town's early Maori and pioneer residents, and its timber milling and farming heritage. There is also a magnificent tribute to the men and women who left the district to fight in overseas wars. You can pick up a mural guide map from the information centre.
Katikati is also home to a 'Haiku Pathway', boasting the largest collection of Haiku’s outside of Japan.
The local museum documents the growth of the town with photographs and displays of artefacts. Boutique arts and crafts galleries and, in harvest time, roadside stalls overflowing with fresh produce, are a delightful distraction.
