Removalists Wonthaggi
Regional moves across the Bass Coast, 132 kilometres south-east of Melbourne.
Why the drive matters for a Wonthaggi move
Getting a truck to Wonthaggi means 132 kilometres on the South Gippsland and Bass highways, deep into the Bass Coast Shire, so we build the drive into the price before the crew sets off. Once we pull up, the job runs the same way as any local move.
A supervisor manages the day from start to finish, checking both properties and planning the load so the truck covers the highway in a single trip. You give us the rooms, the bulky items and any access issues, and we choose the truck and crew. 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.
What we bring and what happens on arrival
The truck carries blankets, plastic wrap, straps and every tool needed to pull apart beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes. Each piece of furniture is wrapped and secured before the doors close, and anything dismantled goes back together at the destination. Because the 132-kilometre return on the Bass Highway is a real part of the day, we pack the truck tightly so one trip does the job wherever possible.
Our Wonthaggi removalists work the same way on a house in town as on a property out towards Cape Paterson or along the Powlett River road. We size up the access before pricing, and where a large truck cannot reach we bring a smaller one to keep things rolling.
Storage and packing for Bass Coast moves
When settlement dates slip or a renovation drags on, we store your furniture in our facility, which is climate-controlled and under surveillance at all times, then deliver once the house is ready. That handles anything from a few days between settlements to months while the builders finish. Public liability and transit insurance applies whether the load stays on the Bass Coast or travels back to Melbourne.
If you want the packing done for you, we send a team the day before with boxes, paper and tape. They wrap the kitchen, the wardrobes and the breakables and mark every box with the room it belongs to. For interstate loads heading beyond Melbourne to Sydney, Adelaide or Brisbane, we offer a dedicated truck with an agreed delivery date or a backload priced on the cubic metres your furniture takes up.
Getting a quote for a Wonthaggi move
Let us know both addresses, the number of bedrooms, anything heavy such as a piano or pool table, and the access at each end. We come back with a price that covers the travel, loading, highway drive and unloading. The calculator below helps you estimate the load before you call. The quote is free and you are under no obligation.
The price is built on time, so a move that is packed and waiting when the truck arrives runs shorter and costs less. Sealed boxes, cleared drawers and an open path to the front door all help. Call 1300 724 553 or send a message through the contact form.

Questions about moving in Wonthaggi
How much does it cost to move from Wonthaggi to Melbourne?
The price depends on the truck size, the crew and the total hours, including the drive from Melbourne and back. Because Wonthaggi is 132 kilometres south-east via the Bass Highway, travel is a real part of the cost, and we price it upfront so the total is clear before the truck sets off.
Can you move furniture to a house at Cape Paterson or along the coast?
Yes. Cape Paterson and the surrounding Gippsland coast are within range. The crew brings the truck, wrapping materials and all the gear, and the move works the same way as a job in town once we arrive.
What if the Wonthaggi house is not ready when we need to leave the old one?
We collect your furniture and keep it in climate-controlled storage that is monitored at all times. Once the new place is ready, we deliver. That covers a few days between settlements or months during a renovation.
How far ahead should I book a move from Wonthaggi?
As much notice as possible helps, especially over summer and school holidays when the Bass Coast is busy with holiday moves. But ring us even if your move is next week. If a truck is free we will fit you in.
Do you move furniture from Wonthaggi to another state?
Yes. Interstate loads from Wonthaggi travel via the South Gippsland and Bass highways to Melbourne and then on to Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane or Canberra. We offer dedicated trucks with a firm delivery date or backloads priced on the cubic metres your furniture takes up.
