The great Onerahi cafe mystery has been solved.
Last month the organisers of the New Zealand Cafe of the Year Awards released the names of 24 Northland cafes entered in the awards, saying Carol's Cafe, in Ross St, Onerahi, was one of the 24.
However, after the article was published
in the Northern Advocate several readers went to find Carol's Cafe, but with no success. So The Advocate visited the address provided and found it was a residential house.
A check on the Companies Office register found there was indeed a company called Carol's Cafe registered at the address, but no actual cafe there.
So the paper contacted Stephen Wood, who was down as one of the owners of Carol's Cafe and resident at the Ross St address, who explained he and wife Carol had sold the cafe they ran - CC's in the Strand - in June and it was that cafe that was entered in the awards.
