DescriptionThe hotel at Katikati was originally called the Uretara Hotel then the Katikati Hotel.

The hotel was completed by November 1888 and officially opened in April 1889. Barney retired to Tauranga in June 1896. Alfred Shepherd took over the hotel in September of 1896, renaming it the 'Talisman'. This building burnt down on 15 March 1929.
