Calling all businesses! You can all utilize self storage in some way, to help your company grow and expand!

Drive Up Garage & Enterprise Units
Experience the convenience of driving straight up to our spacious, secure Garages and Enterprise Units, designed for easy access and loading in any weather. At our Newlands facility, we offer drive up units perfect for vehicle storage or commercial and trade clients needing dry, clean, and secure warehouse space. These high-stud units are available for lease on a flexible, month-to-month basis, with no long-term commitment required.

These units are also available for long-term prepaid lease terms at a discounted rate, catering to all customer requirements.

Here are just some of the types of businesses that can use self storage:

Publishers
Need to store magazines, brochures or books before you sell them? Or store excess stock? A self storage unit is perfect for this, our staff can assist with deliveries too. You can move to a larger or smaller unit if you need more space.

Contractors and Tradies
Keeping your tools or equipment in your garage or vehicle can seem convenient but can come with some risks, theft being the main one. Tools of the trade can be expensive and it can set you back a lot of money to replace them suddenly, not to mention potentially losing a days’ work. If you keep everything in a storage unit, you can rest assured that your tools and equipment will be safe in our facilities.

Theatre Groups
Need somewhere to store all of those sets, props and costumes? Look no further. You could even use it as a living and breathing costume department.

Online businesses
Storage facilities are perfect for online businesses. You can have your shipping containers unpacked and cleared and the contents delivered straight to your unit. Often when you’re starting out, your inventory can grow faster than the space you’ve got available so self storage can be a real help.

Sales reps / Merchandisers
What do you do if your business, office or home is on one side of the city and your customer base another? Can you fit all of your samples and stock into your car? Even if you can, is it worth the risk of theft? A self storage unit can be ideal. Not only does it make it easy to keep an inventory, you can come and go as often as you like and if you need more storage, you can look at getting a larger unit.

There are lots of opportunities for all sorts of businesses to utilize self storage.

Our Newlands self storage facility is situated at the top of Ngauranga Gorge off Newlands Road. Our driveway starts near the offramp from the Newlands Interchange. This storage centre is very convenient for customers from Porirua to Karori and the Hutt Valley to the CBD.
If you’d like to learn more about how it could work for you, give our knowledgeable staff a call today on

This highly entertaining, award-winning British comedy, first staged in 2018, has only recently been released for non-professional performance, after wowing audiences in the UK and Australia.

Have you heard your parents or grandparents talk about ‘in my day...’ and you’ve thought how wonderful it must have been to live in that era? Home, I’m Darling is a play about taking the opportunity to step aside from the millennium life and swap it for a 1950s life before McDonald’s, pizza deliveries and supermarkets. What could possibly go wrong?

It's tax return time. Scammers are impersonating Inland Revenue (IR) - and even the Police to steal personal information and money.

They may contact you by email, text, or phone, claiming:
🔹 You're owed a tax refund and must provide your bank details to receive it.
🔹 You owe tax and need to pay immediately to avoid legal trouble.

How to stay safe:
✅ Don’t click on links in emails or texts - log in to your myIR account directly.
✅ Check the sender - official IRD emails always end in @ird.govt.nz.
✅ Be cautious with texts - IRD only sends messages from four-digit codes, not
regular phone numbers.
