The old Kaeo Saddlery Cafe




I've been trying to find some sort of history on this building in Kaeo in the far north of NZ. So far there's very little out there except to say it's now a cafe owned by 2 sisters.  I just thought it looked like a quirky building with an old historical look.

News from us: our move to Northland is coming along nicely. It looks like we all have jobs to go to so far which is positive and takes alot of pressure off.

Our prime minister Jacinda Ardern, who is a member of the labour party has just had her first baby and has named her Neve Te Aroha Ardern Gayford. She is a very popular person with most of our country and has the ability to relate well to others. All Blacks won their rugby game against Franec and we are looking forward to the yearly tri-nations test series.

Please feel free to share what's happening in your world :-)

All good news! We even saw Jacinda on Greek TV when she had her baby. Another great NZ female. Love the names. Neve is a first. Never heard that before. Bet it becomes the latest fashion in baby names.
I'll be sorry to see you leave the Bay but will love seeing Northland!
Heard about the All Blacks. Australia didn't do too badly so far in the football world cup either.....for a rugby country.
No team like the All Blacks though. Mighty!!!

Fascinating building and bet there is a lot history there ~ maybe the owners would know about its history ~

I read about your Prime Minister and think that is wonderful news! I'm glad things are going well for you on your planned move.

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone's Prime Minister having a baby, although it is possible it may have happened!
I understand why that building intrigued you. It surely has a story...probably many stories.
And I'm happy for your family.

Hello, it is nice to have a PM that is popular and well liked. I wish I could say the same for our leader. The building is pretty. Good luck with your move.
Enjoy your day and new week ahead!

The building does look quirky and historical. I bet the cafe has good food. I love unique places to eat. - Margy

  This has been one of the early buildings in Westport from the 1870s that is still being used for the local newspaper, so much old Victoria...
