About
The Book Cellar (often listed as BookCellar) is Kaiapoi’s dedicated secondhand bookshop, on Ohoka Road a short hop from the town centre. For North Canterbury readers who don’t want to drive into Christchurch for every fossick, it is the local specialist used-book stop — shelves of donated and traded titles rather than a stationery or new-release shop.
Directory listings have kept the Ohoka Road address and 03 327 4900 phone for years, but opening hours conflict between sources (some show full weekdays, others fewer days). Treat hours as unverified until confirmed by phone or a visit — then this page can be updated.
Pair a Kaiapoi book run with the Salvation Army Family Store on Charles Street, Nurse Maude on Williams Street and the SPCA on Hilton Street for a compact North Canterbury circuit north of the Waimakariri.
Price tip: Expect dedicated-shop used-book pricing rather than flat op-shop stickers — confirm in store.
What you’ll find
General secondhand stock — fiction and non-fiction typical of a small-town used bookshop; selection turns over with trade-ins and donations.
