About Zenders Cafe and Venue

A Dutch-inspired café and event venue at 44 Hopkins Road in Newstead, Waikato, a few minutes from Hamilton. The building is a replica of a Dutch farmhouse, based on plans from the owners' family homes in the Netherlands, and the business opened in December 2018. The café opens at 8.30 am daily for brunch and lunch, and private dinners are available by arrangement. The menu is made for sharing, and the café partners with Hazel Hayes for click and collect and delivery. The venue hosts weddings, celebrations and themed dinner shows, and the website has a virtual tour of the rooms and grounds.

Guests write that the staff are friendly and the café is quiet enough for conversation, and one wedding couple said the food was a highlight with their guests. Another guest group said gluten free meals were sorted well at their table.
