The main bedroom has a queen bed and a 2nd small bedroom has a single bed.

Kettle
Full size fridge
Coffee machine
Toaster
Electric fry pan
Hot plate and pot

Location:
Katikati is a small mural town nestled between the Kaimai Ranges and the Tauranga Harbour. Close to all the Bay of Plenty has to offer - Beaches, bush walks, wineries, rail trail biking, golf, and hot pools. Katikati town centre is less than 10 mins away. Waihi Beach is also just 25 minutes drive north and Tauranga 25 minutes to the south.
