A gem of bookstore! Hundreds of thousands of books. If you’re a bookworm and around the area, this is a must go place. The prices are reasonable and staff are the sweetest. There’s even a piano to play on!

Giant secondhand bookshop. Large variety of books, NZ authors, romance, classics, sci-fi, and fantasy. Puzzles, and lots of other books. Tons and tons of reading books. Lots of space with tidy shelves, good lighting, and clean too. The volunteers staff are welcoming and chatty. A real great book shop to visit and would really recommend.

I absolutely loved this bookstore! It’s a must-visit. As a charity shop, all the books are donated, but they’re in excellent condition and incredibly well organized. I found four beautiful books by Dr. Libby Weaver all for only $30, what an amazing price, and the kind gentleman volunteering at the counter even gave me a sturdy shopping bag to carry them home in. Thank you so much—I’ll definitely be back!
