Moving in St Ives: what to expect

St Ives homes are large, the blocks are larger, and the move usually takes longer than a weekend. Four and five-bedroom houses off Mona Vale Road, Killeaton Street and the streets running into the bush are the norm, so the Family Burrow and Big Burrow packs get picked most often, and both come with a dolly to keep two or three people loading at once.

The driveway is the thing to plan for. Many St Ives drives run steeply down to a garage below street level, and after rain the leaf litter off the gums makes them slick. Our driver will not run a loaded dolly down a wet slope, so we carry short nested stacks or set up at the top and work in trips. If the garage is the easiest drop point, say so in the access notes.

Staging is the St Ives way: the shed and the garage first, then the living areas, then the kids' rooms the night before the truck. Two weeks of hire is included so you can pack in that order without paying twice, and we can split a delivery between the garage and the house. Windows are two hours, seven days, with 7am weekday starts before the school run clogs Mona Vale Road.

Typical homes
Four and five-bedroom family houses on big, leafy blocks; some newer townhouses and units near the shopping village.
Access
Long sloped driveways to garages below street level; leaf-covered steps; gates. Tell us where the stack should land.
Parking and timing
Easy: driveways and quiet streets. The school run is the only traffic to avoid.

  • Windows. Two-hour windows seven days, with 6am weekday starts before the school run.
  • To the door. Nested stacks of crates, sturdier than cardboard removal boxes and needing no tape, are carried to your door, not left at the kerb, and a dolly stays with you for the flat runs.

  • Small jobs welcome. Five crates at $5 each still gets free delivery and collection.

St Ives crate hire questions

How many crates does a four-bedroom St Ives house need?

Around 100 is the honest starting point, which is the Big Burrow pack at $309 with a dolly included. A big kitchen, a study and a garage of sports gear push it higher; add crates in fives at $5 each.

Can you deliver early, before the school traffic on Mona Vale Road?

Yes. We offer a 6–8am window every day for exactly this reason. Saturday and Sunday windows are also available at the same price.

Our driveway is steep. Can you still deliver to the garage?

Yes. We carry nested stacks or work in trips rather than rolling a loaded dolly down a slope. Tell us in the access notes whether you want the crates at the garage or the front door.
