Norwood

Adelaide's largest independently owned bookshop, offering an extensive range of children's, fiction, and non-fiction titles alongside puzzles, board games, and gift cards. The knowledgeable team specialises in sourcing even the hardest-to-find books.

Vlado Borovac has been making the trip to India for over 17 years, returning with bone inlay furniture, hand-carved sculptures and reclaimed timber pieces he sources directly from the workshops that make them. The Norwood showroom on Osmond Terrace also carries rattan made to order from Indonesia. The approach is accumulative rather than matched — pieces that outlast trends rather than follow them.

A locally owned bottle shop in Shop 15 of The Parade in Norwood, with staff who carry product knowledge across the floor and connections to South Australian and wider Australian boutique winemakers. The range runs across wine, beer and spirits, with delivery and in-store pickup available. Open seven days, from mornings through to evening on weekdays.
