Matakana Village Books is a boutique independent bookstore located in the iconic Matakana Village. Mary-Liz Corbett took over the business in October 2015 from Tracy Lawton who established the business when Matakana Village was built.
Owning a bookstore has being a dream of Mary-Liz‘s. She is a passionate book reader and commentator on books. She has being involved in the book business for many years. She has worked with some iconic independent bookstores such as Wild Swans and The Women’s Bookshop. She has also been involved with The Readers and Writers Festival bookstore.
Mary Liz spends a large amount of time selecting books that will appeal to the customers of Matakana Village Books.
We love to have you visit the store and browse the selection but if you can’t make it to the Village go to our on-line store and have a browse.
Matakana Village Books: A local bookstore… for the future
Buying the business was an interesting experience. There were many naysayers, those with a view that bookstores were in the past. Reality is, the number of fantastic customers who have provided support through both buying books but importantly, for which I am really appreciative, providing advice and offers of assistance to ensure that Matakana and the surrounding area are well served with a great bookshop. We will ensure that we grow and provide an experience to our customers with an interesting and changing book selection.
