Saltbox Cafe

Known locally as the Shoemaker's House, this early Wellington Street East residence was built in 1862 by shoemaker Joseph Hunt. A modest, Georgian-style, two-storey wood-frame home, the building features rare rooflines and fine craftsmanship. In 2024, it became home to the Saltbox Cafe, transforming the historical space into a warm, inviting hub where community and flavour meet.
