THE PENNEFATHER
SHOPPING
The Pennefather Complex offers a wide range of choice for our shoppers with Memory Hold-the-Door Bookshop, Golden Nuggets Sweetshop & Collectibles, Clothing Boutique, and The Tea Gallery.
Memory Hold-the-Door Bookshop
Memory Hold-The-Door antiquarian and second-hand bookshop is no ordinary shop. Renowned for their extra-ordinary selection of Africana and other historical literature it also caters for the everyday readers who just want to lose themselves in a good read.
Memory Hold-The-Door antiquarian and second-hand bookshop boasts a name full of history. Named after John Buchan’s autobiography “Memory Hold-The-Door”, the Scottish born British writer was the first person to have elaborated on the beauty of the Haenertsburg and Magoebaskloof areas in his books. His first novel “Prester John” was set in this area.
The wonderful bookshop will have you seated in front of the fireplace — sipping on a warm cup of coffee.
Fall through the looking glass and get lost exploring our enormous library of antiquarian books, collectible books, fiction, and non-fiction.
