Zenders Café and Venue is a relatively new venture, opening its doors in December 2018, with big aspirations for the future.
Yet, while young, its story is rich.
Based on the original blueprints from our great-grandfather’s Dutch farmhouse (built in 1911) and our grandfather’s house (built in 1914) in Holland, Zenders is an authentic replica of this Dutch farmhouse and reflects our immigration story from the Netherlands to New Zealand.
And now, that story continues. A new generation bringing people together for more experiences and more occasions, living to its core purpose of making every visit an experience.
