We are moving out of a big older home near Great South Road with a lot of heavy furniture. Can you handle that in one day?

Most likely yes. We send the right crew size for the job, two to four movers depending on what you have. For larger homes we offer a free viewing beforehand so we can size the crew and truck accurately and give you a realistic timeframe.

Our new townhouse in Wiri has a shared driveway and limited parking. How do you manage that?

We sort this before move day. We ask about the driveway width, turning space, and any parking restrictions. If the full-size truck cannot get close enough, we plan the carry distance in advance rather than working it out on arrival.

How does pricing work for Manurewa given you are based on the North Shore?

Hourly rates are the same across Auckland. Because Manurewa is around 33 minutes from our Wairau Valley depot, the fixed callout is slightly higher than closer suburbs to cover travel. You see the full price before you confirm, so there is nothing added later.

Can you move our upright piano as part of a house move in Manurewa?

Yes. Piano moving is something we are known for across Auckland, trusted by Steinway dealers and venues like Auckland Town Hall. An upright going in or out of a Manurewa home, including through hallways or down steps, is a normal job for us.

Movers Manurewa

Manurewa is a suburb of big family homes on wide sections, older brick-and-tile houses, and a growing number of newer townhouses packed into tighter spots. We have completed regular work here and know how different these streets can be from one block to the next.

Updated: 13 June 2026

The older housing stock around Manurewa town centre tends to be generous in size but tricky in layout. Long internal hallways, split-level entries, and hefty furniture that was built to last all take planning. Our crews of two to four show up knowing what to expect, not guessing on the day.

Newer townhouse developments closer to Wiri and the Southern Motorway corridor are a different challenge. Shared driveways, tight turning circles, and allocated parking that other residents still use on move day. We check access details before we arrive so the truck goes in the right place the first time.

Manurewa has a lot of established families with a lot of stuff accumulated over many years. Big dining suites, upright pianos, ride-on mowers, garage full of gear. We are NZ's piano moving specialists, trusted by Steinway dealers and Auckland Town Hall, so a family upright in a South Auckland living room is well within our range.

Our depot is in Wairau Valley on the North Shore. The run to Manurewa takes around 33 minutes, which puts this suburb in our pricing zone B. The fixed callout is slightly higher than inner suburbs to account for travel, and you see the full price upfront before you confirm the booking. No surprises on the day.

Specialist Movers is a New Zealand-owned company founded in 2023 with Auckland and Hamilton bases. Manurewa customers get SiteWise Gold safety systems, licensed crews, and the same communication standards as our premium Auckland work.

Packers come in the day before your move when you add packing, so move day is loading and driving rather than both at once. Exit cleaning is fixed-price and can be scheduled around handover, so the house is empty when the cleaners arrive.

Google review from Waina Emery
“We are very grateful for the service, the workers and movers of our furnitur, 60 crates and 20 odd cartons of items of our home from a 2 level to 1 level house. Their attitude and help with moving made it unstressful including a piano. Not one item was scratched or broken and the assitance in moving furniture to the alloted rooms was helpful. We would reommend them and use them again. The cost of the service was reasonable and okay as well. In many shifts over the years, this has been the smoothest with no dramas and loss of time. Thank you very much.”
