Cabbage Tree Café moves in at the isite Information Centre
A lovely new feature at the isite Information Centre: The Cabbage Tree Café!
The new owners Anna Xu and Henry Wu are all set up and ready to go. They previously operated The Cabbage Tree Café on Rathbone Street and have kept the same business name.
Reana Te Hei, Whangārei isite Team Leader is ecstatic – “it already feels busy with curious locals and tourists noticing the activity, we are so excited!"
"When the visitor centre was built back in the 1990’s the site was specifically chosen with the visitor’s needs and wants in mind – free parking, a playground for the kids, toilet and shower facilities, an information centre, and of course a café."
“The isite is a one stop shop for the many manuhiri (guests) we welcome to Whangarei 364 days a year. We leverage each other’s customers so it’s a win for all."
Like the isite, the Cabbage Tree will be open 7 days a week, closed only on Christmas day. The cafe will open from 7:00am until 4:30pm.
