Removalists Cheltenham
Bayside and Kingston moves, from Southland to the golf links and beyond.
From Two Acre Village to a modern move
Cheltenham was called Two Acre Village when the first blocks were laid out in the 1850s, and some of those generous lots are still being subdivided into new townhouses and units. The western side of the suburb stretches toward golf links and Port Phillip Bay within the City of Bayside, while the eastern side sits around the railway line and Charman Road in the City of Kingston. That split means the access, the parking and the truck size change from one street to the next, and our Cheltenham removalists quote every move by the hour after checking both ends.
A supervisor runs every move. Beds and dining tables are dismantled at the old address and reassembled at the new one. Local rates start from $75 per half hour for a two-person crew and a 20 cubic metre truck, and the full list by truck size is on our removalist prices page.
Access around Southland and the golf links
Nepean Highway runs through the middle of Cheltenham, and the streets that branch west towards Port Phillip Bay tend to be quieter with room to park a truck. Closer to Westfield Southland, traffic on Centre Dandenong Road makes loading during the day harder. Unit blocks near Southland station have shared driveways and loading bays, and the body corporate usually sets times for moves.
We check the access before quoting. Where a big truck cannot turn into a driveway or where a lift booking is needed, we plan the move around those windows and send a truck that fits the street.
Between settlements on the Bayside
Settlement dates around Cheltenham can slip, especially in the spring market when homes on the Bayside side of the suburb trade fast. If there is a gap between keys, we hold your goods in our climate-controlled storage facility with 24/7 surveillance and deliver once the new place is ready. Furniture is wrapped in blankets and plastic and strapped in the truck whether it is heading to storage or straight to the new address. We carry public liability and transit insurance on every move.
If you want a packing team to handle the wardrobes and kitchen beforehand, let us know when you book and we build it into the price. We supply the boxes, paper and tape.
Interstate from Cheltenham
Interstate moves from Cheltenham head up the Nepean Highway or connect through Moorabbin to the Monash Freeway, where the M80 links north to the Hume for Sydney and Canberra. We offer either a dedicated truck with an agreed delivery day or a shared load priced on the cubic metres your goods need.
Arriving from interstate is the same process in reverse. The crew unloads at your Cheltenham address and places furniture where you direct them, whether it is a third-floor unit near Southland or a house on one of the wider western blocks.
How to get a Cheltenham quote
A move that loads quickly costs less. In Cheltenham, the things that save the most time are a lift booked at the building, boxes sealed and labelled the night before, and a parking spot held out front so the truck does not circle. Send us the two addresses, the bedroom count and anything oversized, and we respond with a truck size and an hourly rate. The quote is free and obligation-free.
Ring 1300 724 553 to talk it through, or drop us a line via the contact form for a written quote. You can also try the volume calculator below to check the truck size before asking.

Cheltenham moving questions
How do you handle a unit move near Southland where the loading bay is shared?
We check with the body corporate or building manager for loading-bay times and book a window. The crew arrives with a truck sized to fit the bay, and we work to the allocated slot. Letting us know the building rules when you ask for a quote means no surprises on the day.
Can you reach the older houses on the wide blocks near the Cheltenham golf links?
Yes. Those streets are generally wider with longer driveways, so a full-size truck can usually pull in. We check the driveway surface and turning circle before quoting and plan the carry from there.
What if my settlement dates in Cheltenham do not line up?
We collect your load and hold it in our climate-controlled storage facility with 24/7 surveillance. When you have the keys to the new place, we deliver and unload into the rooms you point at. The gap can be a few days or several months.
Do you move offices around the Moorabbin and Cheltenham area?
Yes. Office and commercial moves are available around the clock, including nights and weekends, so the business can open the next morning as normal. We work out the dismantling and reconnection plan with you before the day.
How does the hourly rate work for a move in Cheltenham?
The rate depends on the truck and crew the move requires. The clock runs from arrival at the pickup to final placement at the destination. A two-bedroom unit on Charman Road takes fewer hours than a four-bedroom house overlooking the bay, and the quote reflects that difference.
