Open until 3pm most days, accepts card with no minimum required which is good for an independent op shop. Purchased 2 books for a total of $4.00. Many of the books do need to be removed from the store as they're in too poor of a condition, where on of the books even had a dog bite on it (that was Redemption Point by Candice Fox). Good prices even if many of the books are in acceptable condition (though as mentioned some of the books need to be removed). Clean and reasonable store too with friendly volunteers like a lady who I believe her spelling is either Angj or Anje (can't remember) Not a huge amount on offer but not overstocked. Could be just needing more donations
I have been here before. Shar is a delightful lady always helpful. Five or actually six star service. Prices and quality of stuff is brilliant
Found a really nice tie for $2. Worth having a quick squidgery didge if you have a spare few mins. Less busy than Vinnie's and salvos which could mean that you find a gem like I did! Lady that served me was lovely as well!

About this shop
Rotary's Cowes shop moved into a well-organised Thompson Avenue space in July 2026. It carries donated clothing, household and electrical goods, books and collectibles, making it a varied but relatively compact browse rather than a warehouse stop. Proceeds support Rotary projects on Phillip Island and San Remo as well as international work such as clean-water and literacy programs. Current sources also confirm card payments, useful when picking up a small find.
