Katikati
New Zealand
Katikati, a small town on Tauranga Harbour's northern reaches in New Zealand's North Island, is known for the outdoor murals painted across its commercial buildings since the 1990s — a project that earned it recognition as New Zealand's most beautiful little town of its size in 2005. Named the country's Avocado Capital in 2018, it sits among avocado and kiwifruit orchards, with hot springs a short distance to the south and cafés in its compact centre.
