A new chapter drops on Stansbury as Peninsula Records and Books open its doors
What began as an online passion project is now hitting the shelves in real life, with a brand-new store in Stansbury offering a handpicked selection of Australian books and classic vinyl.
Founded by book worm Kate Williams and music lover Neil Williams, Peninsula Records and Books is a proudly South Australian small business built on a shared love of stories – whether told through lyrics or literature. Since launching online, they’ve carefully curated a collection where every book and record means something, ensuring customers discover a new favourite – or rediscover an old one. Now, they’re bringing that same passion to a physical space, where browsing is all part of the fun.
For those who love flicking through records or getting lost in a good book, this is the kind of store where you can dig, discover, and walk out with a gem. The vinyl section spans everything from iconic albums to Aussie classics, fresh releases, and second-hand treasures. Meanwhile, the book selection celebrates Australian authors, supporting both literary legends and emerging talent.
“We just love books and music, and we are passionate about the exceptional talent we have in Australia – this is the shop we’ve always wanted to create,” says Kate Williams, founder of Peninsula Records and Books. “It’s a space where people can find something new, rediscover old favourites, and enjoy the experience of shopping in a real store.”
Whether you’re a local, a weekender, or just cruising through, drop in, have a dig through the records, and see what’s on the shelves – because when it comes to great books and vinyl, there’s always room for one more.
