Removalists Rosebud
Peninsula moves between the beach, the slopes and Melbourne, priced by the hour.
A peninsula move starts with the drive
Rosebud sits about 61 kilometres south of the Melbourne CBD on the Mornington Peninsula, wedged between the lower slopes of Arthurs Seat, the shores of Port Phillip and the plains of Boneo. That distance means the drive takes longer than a move closer to town, and because we price by the hour, the travel forms part of the total. We factor it in before you book so there are no surprises.
Give us the rooms, the large items and the addresses at each end, and our Rosebud removalists put together a truck and crew to suit. One person on the truck owns the plan for the day, from what gets pulled apart to the order it goes on. Beds, tables and flat-pack wardrobes are pulled apart for the move and put back together at the other end. 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.
Beach flats, hillside homes and Point Nepean Road
Rosebud’s housing splits into three types. The foreshore side of Point Nepean Road has beach houses and holiday flats, many on narrow blocks with limited parking. The streets climbing toward Arthurs Seat have steeper driveways and longer carries from the front door to the kerb. The flatter blocks out toward Boneo are roomier but the houses can sit further from the road.
We ask about the access before quoting. A steep driveway may need a smaller truck that can reverse close, while a flat beachside block with tight parking may need the crew to plan the carry with trolleys. The aim every time is to keep the crew moving furniture rather than walking empty-handed.
Storage when the peninsula dates shift
Settlement dates on Rosebud properties can shift, particularly when a holiday house is involved or a sale runs longer than expected. We hold your furniture in a climate-controlled facility with round-the-clock security and deliver once you have the keys, whether the gap is a few days or a few months.
Blankets and plastic go around every piece, and straps hold it all in place for the drive back up the peninsula. Boxes, packing paper and tape are available from us, and we can send a team the day before to pack the kitchen and the wardrobes. Public liability and transit insurance covers every move.
Leaving the peninsula for interstate
An interstate move from Rosebud runs up the Mornington Peninsula Freeway and connects to the M1, then the Hume for Sydney or Canberra, or west for Adelaide. You can take a truck running only your load with a firm delivery date, or a shared truck where you pay for the cubic metres your furniture actually fills.
If you are arriving at Rosebud from interstate, we bring everything to the door and carry it to the rooms you point at. If the new place is not ready, storage covers the gap until you have the keys.
Ask us about a Rosebud move
Give us the addresses at both ends, a list of the rooms and the large pieces, and let us know about any stairs or steep driveways. We come back with a price that covers the peninsula drive. We quote for free, and there is no pressure to book.
The fewer trips the crew makes, the lower the bill. Sealing your boxes, emptying drawers and clearing a path for the crew all help keep the hours down. Phone 1300 724 553 to talk it through, or send us a message via the contact form.

Furniture Wrapping
Every item goes into blankets and plastic and is strapped in the truck, which matters even more on the longer peninsula drive.
Commercial MovesShops, cafes and offices along Point Nepean Road and through the peninsula towns, moved at night or over a weekend to keep trading days clear.

What a peninsula crew brings
Quote before you commit
The quote covers the peninsula drive and the work at both ends, so the price is clear before you book.
Right truck for the road
A steep Arthurs Seat driveway may need a smaller truck that can get close; a flat Boneo block can take a bigger one. We size the truck before the day.
Trained crews, same method
One person owns the plan for every move and our crews are trained by us. The team at a Rosebud beach house follows the same process as the team in the inner suburbs.
Every piece protected
Blankets, plastic and straps on every piece of furniture, especially important on the longer drive to and from the peninsula.

Peninsula moves, storage and the drive from Melbourne
How does the 61-kilometre drive from Melbourne affect the price?
The clock runs while the truck is on the road, so the drive to or from Rosebud adds time compared with an inner-suburb move. We build the travel into the quote before you book, and picking a truck that is the right size for the load helps keep the overall hours down.
Can you move a holiday house on the Rosebud foreshore during summer?
Yes, but summer is peak season and trucks book out earlier than usual. If you can give us a few weeks notice and stay flexible on the date, we can usually fit you in. Weekday moves are often easier to schedule than weekends in January.
Do you handle the steep driveways on the Arthurs Seat side of Rosebud?
Yes. We check the gradient and width before quoting and pick a truck that can get close. If the driveway is too steep or too narrow, we park at the top and plan the carry with trolleys and blankets so nothing is rushed on the slope.
What if our Rosebud property settlement runs later than expected?
We hold your furniture in a secure, climate-controlled facility and bring it out when you have the keys. That works whether the delay is a few days or a few months.
Is there a shared-truck option for moving from Rosebud to interstate?
Yes. A backload puts your furniture on a truck heading the same way as another Melbourne household, and you pay only for the space it fills. It is cheaper than a dedicated truck but the delivery window is less precise. We can quote both so you can compare.
Can you move a piano from a house on Point Nepean Road?
Yes. Pianos are quoted as their own item because they need extra hands and the right gear. Tell us the type of piano and where it sits in the house, and we plan the crew and the route out to the truck.
