Home Storage

Self Storage is a practical option for renters, tenants and homeowners across New Zealand who need extra space for personal belongings. Whether you’re moving house, decluttering, freeing up a spare room or storing something special, we can help with home storage units in Auckland and Wellington.

Available short or long term, a storage unit can free up a bedroom, your garage or even your entire home. Our storage units are clean, dry and private individually alarmed, and available in a wide range of sizes to suit your needs.

Reclaiming space in your house

If a bedroom has become an all-purpose storage room or your wardrobes are overflowing, self storage is a simple way to reclaim space around your home. Many customers use our home storage units for furniture storage while rearranging rooms, renovating, or making space for something new. Others rely on general storage to keep seasonal items, hobby gear or sentimental belongings safe and out of the way.

By storing the things you don’t need every day, your home can feel lighter, more organised and easier to live in. Our clean, dry and secure storage units give you room to breathe while keeping your belongings close by whenever you need them.

Moving house

When you’re moving house, the timing doesn’t always line up perfectly. That’s where moving storage can make the process far easier. Our clean, secure storage units for moving house in Auckland and Wellington provide a safe place to store your belongings between move-out and move-in dates, without the stress of doing everything in one day.

Many customers choose our temporary moving storage when they need a flexible, short-term storage solution that fits around their schedule. With a range of unit sizes and easy access, you can move at your own pace while keeping your belongings safe and secure.

To make the process even smoother, we recommend working with a professional moving company. They can handle the heavy lifting, allowing you to focus on settling into your new home while your items remain securely stored.

Downsizing

Whether the kids have moved out or you’re simply ready for a smaller place, downsizing is often about simplifying your home and lifestyle. If you’re transitioning to a smaller space but still want to keep important or sentimental belongings, self storage offers a practical and affordable solution for tenants and homeowners alike.

Our self storage services are suitable for everything from furniture and cabinets to general household items, giving you flexibility while you settle into your new home at your own pace.

Starting a new hobby

Some hobbies take up more space than your home can handle. Whether it’s storing kayaks, fishing gear or a collection of musical instruments, self storage provides a safe, dry and secure way to continue your hobby without cluttering your living space.

Extended travel plans

If you’re planning extended travel, deciding what to do with your belongings is often one of the biggest considerations. Self storage offers a convenient and secure way to look after your possessions while you’re away.

Renters can avoid paying for an empty home just to store furniture, while homeowners may choose to clear their property to rent during their absence. Your belongings are also far safer in secure storage units than in an unoccupied house.

Staging your home to sell

When potential buyers can easily picture themselves in a home, they’re more likely to connect with it. That’s why many real estate agents recommend decluttering before open homes, helping each space look its best. Using a self storage unit allows you to clear crowded areas and create a more open, appealing environment for buyers.

Renovating

When you’re renovating, having a clear space to work in makes the process far smoother and less stressful. Rather than working around furniture or risking damage during the build, many customers use self storage to keep their belongings safe and out of the way. Our long-term furniture storage is ideal for renovation projects that run over multiple stages or take longer than expected.

Our flexible storage services can adapt to any renovation timeline. And when the work is finished, you can return clean, dry and undamaged furniture to your newly upgraded space.

Changing circumstances

At different points in life, circumstances change and additional flexibility can help. Whether you’re combining households or adjusting to a new living arrangement, self storage provides a practical way to manage belongings during periods of change. Temporarily storing items can reduce pressure while you work out what stays, what goes, and what can be stored safely for later.

In reality there are countless reasons why people choose self storage for their personal belongings, furniture and homeware.
