Winter Moves in Tauranga? Here's How to Make Them Stress-Free
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.
💬 If you're planning a move this winter in Tauranga and want a smoother, more manageable process I'm happy to share local tips, contacts and resources to help.
Let’s make your move one to celebrate, not stress over. 🏡

Possessions sold as one lot
Morning everyone 😊
I am wanting to sell our mother's possessions as one lot and not individually; ive heard there are people who do this. .
Does anyone know of someone or where I might start?
Shame on You!
This is what greeted workers at Brookfield Sallies yesterday morning. All of it looks like it should have gone straight to the tip, which is what the Sallies will now have to pay to do. Surely whoever does this has no conscience. The Sallies do an amazing job of helping people in times of need and they don't need to be spending any money they receive on doing your dirty work, especially at this time of year.
