About

Hato Hone St John — Durham Street is one of Hato Hone St John’s Christchurch retail stores. Shopping and donating here funds community health programmes. Stores sell a wide range of pre-loved goods; book hunters should expect a general op-shop books shelf rather than a specialist catalogue — still one of the most useful ways to find cheap used books across the suburbs.

This branch is in Christchurch Central. Hours below are from the official St John store page. Ferry Road in particular sits beside the Woolston bookshop strip (Book Barn, formerly Steadfast).

Price tip: Typical St John op-shop pricing on donated books — often a few dollars.

What you’ll find

Donated clothing, household goods and usually a books section — volume varies by store and day.
