Moving house in the middle of a Tauranga winter can feel like a logistical headache with shorter daylight hours, unpredictable rain, and the juggle of family, work and life. But with a bit of planning, it doesn't have to be overwhelming.

✅ Check the forecast early – Our coastal weather can change quickly. Prepare for the unexpected with plastic sheeting or old sheets to protect your floors and furniture.
✅ Hire professionals where you can – Removalists, cleaners and even gardeners can save you time and stress. If you’re renting, they’ll also help you hand the property back in top shape.
✅ Your utilities - Don't forget to advise your utility company so the power's on when you walk in the door.
✅ Label your boxes – It’s a small task that makes a big difference when unpacking.
✅ Start early & pack smart – Daylight is limited, so an early start is key. And keep an essentials bag handy with snacks, cleaning gear, a toolkit and a change of clothes go a long way.

Whether you're moving across town or into your dream home in Papamoa, Welcome Bay, or The Lakes, preparation is everything.
