Removalists Hastings
Home and office moves on the Western Port coast, priced by the hour.
Moving on the Western Port coast
Hastings is a small town 58 kilometres south-east of Melbourne, sitting on an inlet on Western Port between the marina precinct and the farmland behind Tyabb and Somerville. The drive down from the city is built into the price, and so is the mix of housing: homes near the waterfront dating from the 1960s and 1970s sit alongside newer builds further back. Our Hastings removalists price by the hour once we see both addresses, so you pay for the work, not a ballpark figure.
A supervisor runs every crew, planning what goes on the truck first and choosing what needs dismantling. Beds, tables and flat-pack wardrobes come apart for the truck and go back together once we are inside the new place.
Streets and driveways around Hastings
Much of Hastings was built in the 1960s and 1970s, and the streets reflect that era: moderate width, established trees, and driveways that were sized for one car rather than a truck. Near the marina and along High Street, parking tightens up, especially over summer when boats are going in and out. The newer pockets further from the waterfront have wider streets and more standard access.
We check the street and driveway before quoting. If the road is too tight for a large truck, we bring a smaller one or map out a carry that keeps the crew productive rather than waiting.
Storage when peninsula dates do not line up
Settlement dates on the Mornington Peninsula tend to shift, and a buyer waiting on a new build or a renovation in Hastings can end up with a house full of furniture and nowhere to put it. We put everything in our climate-controlled facility, which has round-the-clock surveillance, and bring it to you once you have the keys. The wait can be a week or half a year.
A packing team can sort the kitchen and wardrobes before the truck arrives. Boxes, paper and tape come with the service. Every item is blanket-wrapped and sealed in plastic, then strapped inside the truck. Every job runs under our public liability and transit insurance.
Leaving Hastings for another state
A truck leaving Hastings heads up the Western Port Highway to the Monash Freeway, then onto the M1. Sydney and Canberra loads go north on the Hume from there. Brisbane loads head north on the M1. Adelaide loads take the Western Ring Road to the Princes Freeway.
A dedicated truck with a firm delivery day is one option. A shared backload, priced on the space your load uses, is the other. If you are arriving in Hastings from interstate, we bring it all the way inside and set it down in the rooms you choose.
Quote your Hastings move
Give us both addresses, the bedroom count, any large items like a piano or pool table, and whether there are stairs or a tricky approach at either end. We work out the price and the right truck, and you can use the calculator below to double-check the volume. There is no cost for the quote and no obligation to proceed.
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. The less time the crew needs, the less the move costs, so being ready on the day makes a real difference. Boxes sealed, drawers emptied and a clear path to the front door all help. Call 1300 724 553 if you want to go through it on the phone, or use the contact form and we will come back with a price.

Moving on the Mornington Peninsula, answered
Does the drive from Melbourne add to the cost of a Hastings move?
The clock runs by the hour, and the trip between addresses is part of the job. For a move within Hastings or from Tyabb, Bittern or Somerville, the drive is short. For a move from Melbourne to Hastings, the trip down the peninsula is built into the quote so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Is parking on High Street Hastings a problem for a moving truck?
It can be tight, especially over summer when the marina precinct is busy. Give us the address when you request a quote and we figure out where the truck will sit. If the street is too narrow, a smaller truck or a planned carry from the nearest clear spot keeps things moving.
What if my new build in Hastings is delayed and I need somewhere for my furniture?
Your furniture goes into our climate-controlled facility under round-the-clock surveillance. The crew that picks it up is the crew that brings it back when you are ready. The wait can run from a few weeks to several months without issue.
Do you cover Bittern, Crib Point and Somerville as well?
Yes. We move homes and offices across the whole Western Port area, including Bittern, Crib Point, Tyabb and Somerville. The same crew, the same wrapping and the same process apply regardless of the town.
Can you move a piano from an older home near the Hastings marina?
Pianos are priced as a standalone item since they need additional hands and specialised gear. Let us know the model, the room it is in and the doorways involved, and we plan the crew from there. The narrower entries in 1960s and 1970s homes are something we deal with regularly on the peninsula.
