From protecting valuable belongings from the elements to making space for seasonal changes, self storage offers a practical and secure solution to help you transition smoothly into the colder months.
Outdoor furniture, for example and other items such as BBQs will last longer if stored inside. But this takes up space better used for other things.
Winter is all about staying warm and cozy indoors. But a cluttered home can make that harder than it needs to be. By moving non-essential items into storage, you create breathing room at home.
You can safely store away summer clothes and linen while keeping your winter essentials within easy reach. For families with young children, storage is also a great way to manage growing wardrobes. Hand-me-downs can be boxed, labelled, and stored for the next child neatly and out of the way.
Winter can be a slower season for some businesses, especially those in trades, events, or outdoor services. If you're scaling back operations for the season, a storage unit gives you a secure place to house tools, promotional material, or excess stock without paying commercial rent for unused space.
Our local storage facility staff are also just a phone call away to help you decide. Contact us now For personalised service and deals on storage and packaging at one of our 4 Locations. Get a Quote or arrange a tour.

If you have a hidden second phone for your safety, we recommend turning it off or putting it in flight mode for the duration of the test (6-7pm on Sunday 25 May) to ensure it’s not discovered when the nationwide Emergency Mobile Alert is sent.
Some mobile devices set to silent mode will still emit a sound when the Emergency Mobile Alert test is sent, so switching to flight mode or turning off your device is the only way to avoid the loud sound of the alert.
You can find more information about the Emergency Mobile Alert system, including a factsheet and list of FAQs at www.getready.co.nz

The answer is yes, it is illegal. And yet in New Zealand it's fairly common to see drivers hitting the road with their fog lights on when it's simply dark.
Those who have sat their written drivers test recently will be in the know, but be honest, did you know it was illegal?

As the stars rise and we enter this season of reflection and renewal, we’re sharing a little stardust of our own.
We’ve created 500 hand-crafted stars, made from reclaimed MDF and engraved with the words “My Wish.” They're gifts from our hands to yours — perfect for painting, sharing, or simply holding close as you set intentions for the year ahead.
This is more than a giveaway. It’s a small act of aroha — a way to reconnect with each other, with the environment, and with the spirit of new beginnings.
We’ve already gifted over 500 Easter and Mother’s Day decorations across the Coast, and would love to share this next one with you.
✨ Collect yours in Silverdale (weekdays)
✨If you can Like and leave a comment on how many stars you would like we can message you directly
🌿 Calling all builders & businesses with leftover MDF, perspex, or timber offcuts? We’d love to hear from you so we can turn your scraps into something beautiful. We transform waste into meaningful, creative products that uplift mental health and community well-being.
