Katikati possesses many special attractions. It is a level plateau about 20 miles in length, bounded on the one side by the Tauranga harbour; on the west it is sheltered by forest clad hills. In summer time the sea breeze starts at about 9 am, the wind veering to the west in the evening, contributing to the salubrity of the district. We enjoy all the amenities of civilisation, including those of religion and education by a happy hospitable community.'

Waihi is one of the most famous gold mining towns in New Zealand, the history of this pioneering period is apparent everywhere. It differs though from other parts of the region in that still today a rich goldmine is in full production, hiding behind leafy slopes behind the main street.

Old wooden buildings guard the corners, high noon without the guns. A short drive east of the town, Waihi Beach is a safe beach with white sand, shells and sea fishing.
