Our experienced movers are known for having a strong work ethic and have earned a reputation as some of New Zealand’s most reliable removal companies.
Our movers always go the extra mile. Whether you need packing materials or just want to work with a team that will ensure your moving day goes as smoothly as possible, our movers have got you covered.
No matter what you need to move, we can help. Whether you need a single item shifted across Queenstown or a home moved across the country. We have teams of experienced and skilled movers who can help with your relocation promptly and efficiently.
Our movers do the heavy lifting and loading of large items, so you never have to lift a finger. As expert removalists, you can rest assured that your possessions are in good hands. Our movers take care to stack your boxes and furniture in a way that ensures the integrity of your contents and their packaging. Our trucks and vans are filled to maximise space and minimise damage.
To get the most out of your move, avoid overfilling your boxes. Each box should weigh less than 20kg. This will help prevent heavy boxes from sinking or squashing other items. Got heavy items that have to be boxed up? No worries! Label these boxes as HEAVY. Our movers will use these items as a base layer to keep your more delicate items protected. Boxes containing plates, glasses and other fragile items, should have FRAGILE clearly displayed on the side and top.
While there are many items we can move, there are some items we can’t transport for you. These include hazardous materials, explosives, firearms, illegal substances, expensive jewellery, cash for travel, perishable and frozen goods. While it may be tempting to include these items without the knowledge of your movers, for their safety, please adhere to these rules.
Our moving teams in Queenstown treat every home like a tight-access project. Before lift-off, access is checked, stairs and door widths are measured, local parking or loading zones in Queenstown are confirmed, and a simple load sequence is mapped so move day feels calm and organised.
Protection comes first. Floor runners from the door to the truck, corner and banister guards on tight turns, and full pad-wrap or shrink-wrap before any item leaves the room.
Lifts and stairs are handled with control, not muscle. Powered stair climbers take the strain on heavy pieces, four-wheel dollies keep loads stable over distance, sliders help on narrow turns, and strap systems enable precise team carries.
Inside the truck, nothing drifts. Items are loaded by weight and room order, then secured to E-track/tie-rails with load-rated ratchet straps and soft ties. Load bars create tiers, isolate fragile pieces, and keep the centre of mass low for a smoother ride across Queenstown streets and nearby roads.
Disassembly stays tidy and reversible. Beds, tables and modular sofas are taken down with the correct tools; hardware is bagged and labelled per room; detached legs, shelves and glass are wrapped and bundled for quick, exact setup at destination.
Weather and buildings are planned for. Sealed truck bodies and rain covers keep items dry; ramps and floors are dried between trips; lifts are protected and pre-booked where needed, or the move is staged with stair climbers if lifts aren’t available.
Fleet matched to the address and volume: compact city vans (8–12 m³) for tighter Queenstown streets and underground parking; furniture trucks up to 30 m³ for larger homes. All vehicles are fitted with tail-lifts or ramps and proper tie-downs.
From first pad to final placement, the sequence stays consistent: protect the property, wrap and prepare each item, load by plan, secure for transit, then place and reassemble by room—careful, methodical, on schedule across Queenstown and surrounding suburbs.
Every move in Queenstown is different, and timing matters. That’s why our moving teams stay flexible, so your move happens exactly when it suits you.
Our mover teams are available seven days a week, Monday through Sunday. Early morning starts, late evening finishes, weekend moves, urgent same-day moves, or even public holidays — we’ve got you covered in Queenstown. Whatever life throws your way, we’ll work to make it fit.
From settlement dates that change at the last minute to landlords in Queenstown needing keys back by a certain hour, from work schedules to family commitments, our moving teams adapt to your plans. Book well in advance or arrange something closer to the day — we’ll always do our best to make it work.
Creating a request with Wise Move is simple — just indicate your moving date or timeframe, and let us know about any challenges around moving dates. Our mover teams in Queenstown will plan around it all, making your move smooth and stress-free.

We know it’s not just what we move that matters. How we transport your items makes the biggest difference. Our experienced packers in Queenstown are adept and proficient in all types of packing, from the smallest ornaments to the largest items. We prepare everything with maximum efficiency and meticulous attention to detail to ensure your goods are safely cared for.
We’ll pack your general goods quickly and efficiently to ensure fewer boxes and a faster move. When it comes to large or specialised items, we have a few methods to keep your goods safe.
Fragile Packing – whenever we pack valuable items, antiques or delicate memorabilia, we add an extra layer of bubble wrap and follow a strict procedure of placing the objects carefully into their respective boxes. Our packing teams are savvy with the refined art of fragile packing.
Blanket Wrap – for large or bulky items that still need protection, our packing teams will wrap your items in specialised thick blankets to protect them during transportation. We use this method with larger pieces of furniture that can’t be disassembled or other items that can’t fit into boxes.
Our moving teams in Queenstown use protective coverings to avoid any scuffs on your floor during the move. If your home contents don’t fit through your door, our movers can remove doors or windows to gain access and fit them back afterwards.
