Welcome to the Trading Post – where history and hospitality meet in the heart of Laguna. Established in 1835, our doors have welcomed travellers for almost two centuries, offering a warm haven on the Great North Road, now known as Route 33.

Today, we continue this tradition, offering a place to pause, refuel, and experience the spirit of our village community. Step into our café-restaurant, a cosy space that brings together rustic charm and the best of local flavours. From freshly brewed coffee to seasonal dishes prepared in our open kitchen, our offerings reflect our commitment to quality and authenticity. Enjoy your meal surrounded by the pristine beauty of the Wollombi Valley – it’s more than just dining; it’s an escape into the serene Australian bushland.

We’re more than just a café, though. Our general store is stocked with essentials and carefully selected local products, making it easy for you to find exactly what you need, whether you're a traveller passing through or a local stocking up. Our bakery is a favourite for fresh, homemade goods, while our wine shop and bar celebrate the region’s incredible vineyards, offering a curated selection of wines that bring the Hunter Valley right to your glass.

At the Trading Post, we’re proud of our heritage and our role in the Laguna community. We invite you to be part of our story, to stop, savour, and soak in the rich history and beauty of this incredible region.
