A much-loved north Auckland music venue and eatery that has been in the same family for 30 years is on the market.
The Leigh Sawmill Cafe was first opened in 1996 by Grattan and Marguerite Guinness in the small coastal suburb of Leigh, and over the decades has become a popular spot for both dining and music.
In a post on social media, the cafe shared two images of the site, with a for-sale sign outside, under the caption “the beginning of the end”.
A follow-up post by the cafe in the comments said they were “not closed yet” and were still open for live music and other bookings until “someone else wants to take the helm”.
The property is being put up for sale by Bayleys, with the listing describing it as an "iconic property” that has been a “focal point” for locals and visitors alike.
