Voted Ugly Hill Press Bookshop of the Year at the 2025 Aotearoa New Zealand Book Industry Awards, The Martinborough Books & Post Ltd, which opened in May 2019, is the first and only dedicated bookshop in the heart of South Wairarapa’s beautiful wine village of Martinborough. We love to bring you books you will want to keep. It is, in fact, our motto. Often you will come across books you won’t see in a city or chain bookstore. It takes time, knowledge and a “feel” for what is right for the shop to curate the selection offered on any given day. But it’s worth it when we hear, on a daily basis, what a wonderful shop The Martinborough Books & Post is and what a broad range of titles we stock. We are committed to bringing Martinborough, and by extension through our many domestic and international visitors, the rest of the world, quality books in a unique and welcoming environment. We stock everything from bestsellers to self-published titles, science, cookbooks, home & garden, feminism, history, politics, social science, poetry, biographies & memoirs, a huge array of children’s books, and an extensive Aotearoa fiction and non-fiction range.
