Whether you're relocating to a marina apartment in Harbour Island or a mountainside home overlooking Bikini Beach, we connect you with movers who know the False Bay coast.
Gordons Bay offers a distinct coastal pace, nestled at the foot of the Hottentots Holland mountains where the iconic 'GB' sign overlooks the harbour. Moving here involves navigating the scenic but winding R44 (Clarence Drive) or the busy N2 arterial that connects the town to the rest of the Helderberg. From the historic cottages in the 'Old Village' near the Gordons Bay Primary School to the modern, multi-storey homes perched above Bikini Beach, every move requires a team that understands the unique topography and wind conditions of this False Bay gem.
Expect quotes for a 2-bedroom apartment in Harbour Island to range from R3,500 to R5,500. Large 4-bedroom family homes on the mountainside typically range between R8,000 and R15,000, depending on the accessibility of the driveway and the volume of goods.
Navigating the steep, narrow inclines of Suikerbossie Drive requires precision driving, especially for larger pantechnicons. In secure precincts like Harbour Island, movers must adhere to strict code-of-conduct hours and specific height restrictions at the marina gates.
We frequently facilitate moves between Gordons Bay and neighbouring Somerset West, Strand, and Rooi-Els, as well as longer hauls coming from Stellenbosch or the Cape Town CBD.
Retirees seeking the tranquil "Old Village" lifestyle, nautical enthusiasts moving into the marina, and families looking for a coastal upbringing near schools like Somerset West Private School.

Absolutely. We have partners who specialise in Harbour Island moves, ensuring they have the correct vehicle height clearance for the estate entrances.
It is roughly 55km via the N2, usually taking about 45 to 60 minutes depending on the traffic density through Somerset West.
