Proudly Kaipara
Sahara is found 15mins off State Highway 1 from Brynderwyn in the heart of the Kaipara region, an area rich in history (be it Natural History, Maori History or more recent European History). We are blessed to have the mighty Kaipara Harbour on our doorstep providing abundant seafood and rich productive lands that provide us with plenty of quality fruit, vegetable, meat, poultry, game and dairy products. Be sure to check out our History, General Info, Food Philosophy and Taste Kaipara pages to learn more about us, our food, our building, our village and our region!
