How much does a 3-bed family move on the Coast cost?

Most 3-bed local Coast moves land between $1,200 and $3,500 depending on volume, distance, packing service and stairs. We send a fixed written quote within 90 minutes — no 'starting from $X'.

Will the same crew do the whole move?

Yes. Acorn is family-owned. The team that quotes is the team that does the move. No rotating strangers in your kids' bedroom.

Can you do partial packing — just the kitchen and the fragile?

Yes. Partial packs typically add $300–$700 and save you 2–3 evenings of stressed packing on the couch.

Will you be friendly to my kids?

Yes — promise. The crew has kids of their own. Move day is calm, not chaos.

The family move

I just need someone to turn up, be friendly to my kids, and not break Nan's dresser. I'll happily pay $300 more for that.

Couple with school-age kids, moving from a rental to a first owned home (or upsizing). Both work full-time. Move planning happens at night on the couch. The home insurance is sorted, the pre-school is pre-warned, the dog will go to grandma's for the day. What's missing is a removalist they can actually trust to turn up on time and be kind to their kids.

Why Acorn is built for the family move

Fixed quote in 90 minutes. Not ‘from $X’. A real number Sarah can put in the moving budget.
Same crew, every move. Tom doesn’t have to brief three strangers on the kids’ bedroom. Same faces start to finish.
Friendly and quick. The crew is friendly to the kids. We keep the move tight so the family is unpacked Saturday afternoon.
AFRA-accredited and fully insured. Nan’s dresser is covered.

What a family move with Acorn looks like

Saturday morning, 8am: two crew, one truck. Coffee in hand for Tom and Sarah. Kids out at grandma’s. We load through the morning. By lunchtime we’re at the new home. Light reassembly: beds put together, dining table set up, fridge plugged in. By 3pm Saturday, the family has a livable home — kids can sleep in their own beds that night.

If you’d rather not pack, we can do a partial pack on Friday afternoon (kitchen + fragile + wardrobes) for an extra $300–$700.
