NOW LEASED
Ruby Bay Store — Café & Venue, Growing Coastal Community
A rare opportunity to lease a fully equipped café and performance venue in the heart of Ruby Bay.
Originally established as the Blue Horizon Tea Rooms in 1943, this character-filled space has evolved into a vibrant community hub — hosting live music, film nights, private events, and more — with significant potential to grow daytime trade.
The space
Approx. 130 m² floor area
Fully licensed, 7 days (11am–11pm)
Commercial kitchen (TDC registered)
Stage with tiered seating for 36, plus additional adjacent capacity
Projector and screen — bring theatre to the Bay
Three unisex bathrooms
Sunny licensed outdoor courtyard
Fire safety systems throughout
Location
Situated within the Ruby Bay village shops, the venue serves the local communities of Mapua and Tasman.
A growing customer base
Demand is already on the rise:
approximately 320 homes have been consented at Stafford Drive, with a 34-lot subdivision actively selling on Mapua Drive. More households are moving in all the time.
Local economy advantage
As fuel costs rise and people look closer to home for connection, neighbourhood hospitality venues are increasingly well placed. Locals are more likely to dine, socialise, and attend events nearby — strengthening demand for exactly this kind of space.
Ideal for
Café or brunch operators
Hospitality couples or partners
Music, events, theatre, or creative businesses
Those seeking a home-and-income lifestyle
Anyone wanting a genuine turnkey operation — walk in and open the doors
Discounted Establishment First Year's Lease $20,000 P.A. + GST + outgoings
We're flexible on how the venue is used. If you'd like to run the café side without taking on evenings or events, let's talk — we're open to creative arrangements.
An intimate venue with real presence, a growing audience, and multiple income streams waiting to be unlocked
