A Retirement Move Should Never Feel Rushed
Many moving days are built around speed. A retirement move works better when it is built around care. Our team takes the time to listen, explains what is happening at each stage and works at a pace you are comfortable with.
If you need a moment to sit down, make a decision or say goodbye to a room, that is part of the day — not an inconvenience. You pay our standard hourly rate, the same clear pricing we publish for every Auckland move. There is no special seniors surcharge and no pressure to hurry.

Our standard rate is $110 per hour excluding GST. This includes two trained movers and a fully equipped medium-sized truck. A one-off $50 call-out fee excluding GST also applies.
The total price depends on how long the job takes — the amount being moved, access at both properties and travel between addresses all affect the required time. A $100 deposit is required to reserve the agreed moving date.

Moving Into A Retirement Village
Retirement villages usually have their own move-in procedures — a confirmed arrival window, visitor parking rules, lift bookings for apartment-style units and a village manager who needs to know the movers are coming.
Village name and unit number

Visitor parking rules
Lift bookings for apartment-style units
Any instructions from the village manager
The carrying route to your new room
We move retirees into villages across Auckland — from the Hibiscus Coast and North Shore through to East, West and South Auckland, Rodney, Franklin and everywhere in between.
Downsizing From The Family Home
Leaving a long-term family home usually means sorting a lifetime of belongings into four groups: coming with you, going to family, being donated and being disposed of. Start sorting as early as you can, and keep the groups clearly separated before moving day.
Our team moves the belongings that are coming with you and places furniture in the rooms you choose, so your new home feels familiar from the first night. For furniture that is not making the move, ask about our Auckland dump runs and donation drops. If some belongings are heading into storage instead, our container and storage moves can help.
Serviced Apartment & Rest Home Moves
A move into a serviced apartment or rest home is often small — a bed, a favourite chair, a dresser and the personal items that make a room feel like home. Smaller moves still deserve a proper moving team.
Visit Our Mini Moving Service arrow_right_altArranging A Move For A Parent Or Relative
Many retirement moves are organised by family. We are happy to work with one authorised contact who confirms the item list, addresses and moving date — whether you live locally or are arranging things from another city. We confirm the pricing and requirements in writing before anything is booked, so the whole family knows exactly what has been arranged.
Help Packing A Lifetime Of Belongings
China cabinets, photographs, glassware and keepsakes take time to pack well. Our Auckland packing services are available on request — for a few delicate items, selected rooms or the full property. Tell us what you would like help with and we will confirm the scope and pricing before the move.
WINZ Quotes For Retirement Moves
If you are applying to Work and Income for help with eligible moving costs, we can provide a clear, itemised WINZ moving quote to give your case manager. Work and Income determines all eligibility and approvals — requesting a quote does not guarantee assistance.
Moving Closer To Family Outside Auckland
Some retirement moves head beyond Auckland — to be closer to children, grandchildren or a village in another town. Our long-distance moving service covers destinations across the North Island, with careful planning and a clear written quote before you book.
