About Belle's Books

Welcome to Belle's Books – where every book has a story, and every reader finds a new adventure.
Belles Books is a small, family-inspired business, born from a lifelong love of reading that began with my parents and grandparents. As an only child, I spent countless holidays at my grandparents’ home, where I’d play “library,” organizing books and imagining myself helping others find their next great read. That early passion grew over the years, and what started as a stall at local markets has now become our beloved bookshop near the tranquil Bullfrog Pan, as well as an online store.

Our secondhand bookshop brings together the charm of pre-loved literature with a serene, natural setting, offering a warm and welcoming space for book lovers. Each book on our shelves has a past, waiting to be rediscovered, and our selection is always growing with weekly updates both online and in-store.

At Belle's Books, you’ll find:

  • A Wide Range of Genres – From classics and historical fiction to mysteries and memoirs, we stock books for every type of reader.
  • Mystery Book Boxes – Our themed book boxes are perfect for readers wanting a new experience, with our first theme focusing on Afrikaans Historical Fiction, available through December.
  • A True Book-Lover's Community – Our friendly and supportive customers make Belle's Books more than just a shop; they make it a gathering place for readers and friends.

Thank you for stopping by – whether online or in person. We’re thrilled to help you find your next great read and hope you feel at home with us.

THE MEANING BEHIND THE BELLE'S BOOKS NAME

Belle's Books takes its name from the beloved character Belle in Beauty and the Beast. Inspired by her love for reading and the enchanting library depicted in the film, our bookstore aims to capture the magic of literature and the joy of exploration found within its pages. Just as Belle found solace and adventure in her books, we invite readers to embark on their own literary journeys within our cozy sanctuary of stories.
