Bonbeach is a small bayside suburb of about 6,900 people. Lots of homes here are units and townhouses, and most have two or three bedrooms. So your move is likely to be on the smaller side. The tricky bit is usually access, not volume.

Bonbeach at a Glance: Beach, River and the Frankston Line

Bonbeach sits about 31 km south-east of the Melbourne CBD in the City of Kingston. Its whole coastline is sandy beach facing Port Phillip. The Patterson River runs along one edge, with the Patterson River Country Club golf course beside it. Nepean Highway runs through the suburb with a string of cafés and restaurants.

Bonbeach station has served the area since 1926. It was rebuilt in 2021 and no longer has a level crossing. If you're a Kath & Kim fan, you may know it from a scene filmed there.

What does that mean for your move? At the 2021 census, 55% of Bonbeach homes were semi-detached, and about a quarter of all homes had two storeys or more. Two and three-bedroom homes made up nearly eight in ten. Expect shared walls, shared driveways and, quite often, stairs.

There's one bonus. Friends coming to help can catch the Frankston line straight to Bonbeach station.

Front Unit or Rear Unit? Why It Matters

Some Bonbeach blocks hold two or more townhouses, one behind the other. If yours is one of them, your spot on the block changes how the move works.

Front unit. Usually the easy one. The truck can often park out the front and load from close to your door.

Rear unit. This is where the time goes. The truck may not fit down a shared driveway, so we carry everything from the back of the block to the street. It's not a problem. But it does take longer, so tell us when you ask for a quote.

Shared driveway. Your neighbour's car can block the only way in. Have a quick word with them before moving day.

Small Moves in Bonbeach

If you're moving a one or two-bedroom unit, you don't need a big crew. Our two-movers-and-a-truck option suits a lot of Bonbeach moves. A 3-tonne truck holds about 10 to 15 cubic metres, which is often plenty for a small unit.

Moving just a few things? We do single items too, like a couch heading up the coast or a fridge going across to the next street. You get a written quote either way.

Common Problems We See During Bonbeach Moves

In a townhouse, the slow part is usually getting things from your door to the truck.

The rear-unit carry. A long walk down a shared driveway adds up fast with a full load. Measure roughly how far it is and let us know.

A couch that won't clear the landing. An upstairs living room can be hard to reach with a three-seater. Measure the stairwell height and the landing width, then check them against your couch.

A single garage packed to the roof. In a townhouse, the garage often doubles as storage. Sort it early, because it usually takes longer than you think.

A neighbour parked across the driveway. One car can stop the whole job. A note a few days ahead fixes this.

Affordable Removalists in Bonbeach: How We Price It

We charge depot to depot. Your time starts when our truck leaves the depot and stops when it gets back, and there's a call-out fee on top. Both are shown in your written quote.

That's why the carry matters so much here. A rear unit with stairs takes longer than a ground-floor front unit, so we'll ask which one you've got.

Want to keep the cost down? Start with the truck. A small unit doesn't need a big one, so don't pay for space you won't use. Packing your own boxes and clearing the driveway before we arrive will save you time on the clock as well.

Every quote is free and written down, with no hidden fees. There's no fuel surcharge. Weekends cost the same as weekdays.

A Note to Send Your Neighbours

Shared driveways run smoother when everyone knows what's happening. Copy this, change the details and pop it in their letterbox:

Hi, we're moving out of Unit [number] on [day and date]. The removal truck will arrive around [time] and should be gone by [time]. Could you please keep the driveway clear during that window? Thanks so much, [your name and number].

Then, on your own list:

1. Book your move and send us your room list.
2. Drop the note to your neighbours a few days before.
3. Clear the garage and measure the stairs at the new place.
4. On the day, keep your car out of the driveway too.
