Crown Relocations is NZ’s leading moving company.
When you’re moving house in Wellington, you’ll know the world’s “Coolest Little Capital” is a unique city that comes with a set of challenges you won’t find in most other cities. Wellington’s steep hills, along with narrow streets, tight driveways and famous gusty winds require not just a truck, but local knowledge and careful planning.
Crown Relocations combines local Wellington knowledge with the professional services and experienced crews commonly associated with leading furniture moving companies. Our local Crown Relocations team knows Wellington inside out. From navigating Kelburn’s steep winding roads to working around time restrictions and loading zones in the CBD, we plan ahead for every challenge. Every suburb has its quirks, and we know how to tackle each of them, making your move stress free.
Our teams are also trained to handle Wellington’s unpredictable weather, ensuring your belongings stay dry and secure throughout the move. Timing matters too. Especially in a city with one-way streets and rush hour congestion. For inter-island relocations, we coordinate around ferry schedules to keep everything on track. These details make a big difference when timing and logistics matter.
That’s why many people choose Crown Relocations when comparing Wellington moving companies for reliability, experience and local expertise. Choosing our Wellington moving means working with people who live and work here in Wellington every day. Our local knowledge and experience of ‘Windy Welly’ ensures your move is efficient and stress free, making your next move your easiest one yet.
When moving within Wellington, most suburbs have unique circumstances which need to be taken into consideration, such as steep terrain, access limitations, and type of house. Add on Wellington’s famous windy weather, and busy traffic flows, and the logistics can feel overwhelming.
Fortunately, Crown Relocation’s Wellington team is equipped to handle them all. We tailor each move to suit your location and needs, planning every detail to make sure you experience a smooth relocation from start to finish.
In Kelburn, Karori, and Mount Victoria, steep hills and tight driveways often call for smaller trucks or specialist equipment to navigate belongings safely and efficiently. Prior coordination with your neighbours to reserve parking spaces for trucks is often needed.
Older suburbs like Miramar and Newtown often feature homes with narrow hallways and original fittings such as plasterwork or hanging lights that need to be manoeuvred around with care. Tricky street access and narrow stairs need extra care and attention when handling your belongings as well.
Wellington CBD is different. Access to lifts, limited parking, designated loading zones and time restrictions mean that good planning is required well in advance to avoid any delays.
Traffic congestion at peak times will also affect moving day scheduling and time taken overall. This includes key routes such as Ngauranga Gorge, the Terrace Tunnel and State Highway 2 from the Hutt Valley.
Moves in Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt usually involve larger homes, which can influence the size of truck, the team and the amount of time needed for an efficient move. While Porirua and Whitby have winding roads around the coastline, which often require extra attention with timing and safety to keep the move on track.
Inter-island moves across the Cook Strait add another layer of logistics as well. Ferry crossings need extra co-ordination around sailing times, weather conditions and access to the port.
Crown Relocations’ Wellington team has the local knowledge and expertise needed for your move within Wellington. This means we can anticipate and plan for any challenges you might face moving, before they become problems.
Whether you’re moving an apartment or a family home across Wellington, or heading elsewhere in NZ, we have the experience, equipment and knowledge to make your move straightforward and stress-free.
Moving Wellington homes often requires more planning, and that’s where Crown’s experienced movers really shine. Our teams are trained to work carefully and methodically in difficult situations, like older villas with narrow hallways and high ceilings or homes that are hard to access because they are down steep driveways or through narrow stairways.
Our professionally trained Wellington crews handle every kind of move. They know how to protect the delicate finishes, original fittings, and heavy furniture that are common in Wellington homes. We carefully pack items using the right materials, and make sure they are stable and safe while being lifted and moved. Our teams plan your move ahead of time for places with limited access. They’ll choose the right tools and methods to reduce risks and delays.
This focus on preparation and skilled handling helps make sure that your belongings get to their new home in the same condition they left, whether you’re moving a small apartment or a large household. With Crown, care isn’t something extra; it’s part of every step of the removal process.
