Moving in Sorrento

Peninsula's premium heritage village. Ocean Beach on the Bass Strait side, front beach on the calm side, Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club, heritage limestone buildings along Ocean Beach Rd, high-value weekender houses.

Sorrento is the premium end of Peninsula work — high-value weekender houses, established family residences, some heritage limestone properties. Moves here often involve fragile art, wine cellars, and high-value furniture; we bring dedicated protection materials as standard for Sorrento jobs. Ocean Beach Rd through the village has restricted parking; some heritage properties have limited access from narrow lanes at the rear. At 80km from Cheltenham depot the drive is a significant component — we're upfront about it in the quote.

The process

How a Sorrento move actually runs

Six steps, in order, from the moment you enter your address to the moment the crew leaves. Steps three to five are the ones that change from suburb to suburb — and in Sorrento they are shaped by permit & time-limited parking.

  1. 1

    Instant estimate, then a human check

    Enter your Sorrento address and the calculator returns a real number in about two minutes, built from the same pricing our crews are dispatched on. Our team then reviews the enquiry personally and comes back the same business day.

  2. 2

    Your date, locked with a written quote

    You get the truck size, the crew size, the hourly rate, the call-out and the surcharge (if you are moving on a weekend) in writing before you commit. Nothing on that sheet changes on move day unless you change the job.

  3. 3

    Doorways, staircases and the things that will not fit

    Period homes in Sorrento were built before three-seat modulars and king beds. We check doorway widths, the turn at the top of the staircase, and whether anything needs to come apart or go out through a window. Getting that wrong on the day costs hours; getting it right at quote stage costs one phone call.

  4. 4

    Truck sized to the parking, permits sorted

    Where Sorrento has permit or time-limited parking, the truck has to fit the legal spot — not just the furniture. We size accordingly, and where a council permit or a reserved bay is needed we tell you which one and when to apply, because those take lead time and the fine does not care that you were moving. At 80km from Cheltenham Depot we build the travel leg into your quote upfront — you see it as a line item before you book, not as a surprise afterwards.

  5. 5

    Protected first, loaded second

    Floor runners and doorframe padding go down before a single item moves. Mattresses go into covers, screens and mirrors into purpose-made cartons, and the load is built heaviest-first so nothing shifts on the drive.

  6. 6

    Placed, reassembled, and signed off

    Beds go back together, furniture goes where you point rather than where it lands, and the crew does a final walk-through with you before they leave. Billing stops when the last item is placed — we bill by the minute after the two-hour minimum, not in rounded-up half hours.

That is the whole process — no step six-and-a-half. Start at step one and you will have a number for your Sorrento move in about two minutes.

Access, parking and what we move in Sorrento

Access & the streets

Ocean Beach Rd through the village has restricted parking and heritage-street constraints. Some limestone properties have narrow rear-lane access — we survey at booking rather than the day. Summer parking is heavily restricted throughout.

    Indicative only. Your real quote depends on the actual drive between your two addresses, stairs, lifts and carry distance. Weekend and public-holiday surcharges are per crew member.

    Why it matters

    AFRA accredited vs a cheap quote in Sorrento

    Anyone can put a truck on a website. AFRA — the Australian Furniture Removers Association — audits members every year on insurance, equipment, training and complaints handling. Here is what that difference looks like on a Sorrento job.

    What you are comparing Easy Peasy · AFRA member Non-accredited operator
    Liability for damage to period fabric Insured, with crews briefed on plaster, leadlight and original floors — the things a Sorrento period home cannot have replaced. Commonly capped at a token figure per item, or excluded entirely for anything described as "fragile" or "antique".
    Written quote before you commit Truck, crew, hourly rate, call-out and any weekend surcharge in writing before you book. Billed by the minute after the two-hour minimum. Verbal estimate over the phone, then a "the job was bigger than expected" conversation at the end of the day.
    Vehicles and equipment Owned, maintained fleet of 20+ trucks with blankets, trolleys, straps and port-a-robes on board as standard. Hire truck booked that morning, with equipment charged separately or simply not carried.
    Who actually turns up Uniformed, screened, trained employees. The same crews week after week, not a different pair each job. Subcontracted or casual labour with no background screening and no accountability back to the company.
    If something goes wrong A documented complaints process, externally audited every year as an AFRA member, with an escalation path that ends at a named manager. No formal process. Your options are a chargeback, a bad review, or small claims.
    Cancellations and no-shows A depot, a dispatcher and a backup truck. If a vehicle breaks down we send another one. One truck and one driver. A breakdown or a double-booking means your move simply does not happen that day.
    Pricing after the job The rate you were quoted, billed to the minute. No fuel levy, no stair levy, no "heavy item" surprise. Low headline rate, then call-out fees, travel time, fuel surcharges and equipment hire added at the end.

    Who you are dealing with

    The depot, the people and the company behind your Sorrento move

    A quote is only worth what the business behind it is worth. Here is who actually turns up, where they come from, and what we are accountable to.

    Your depot

    Cheltenham Depot

    Unit 5/168 Chesterville Rd, Cheltenham VIC 3192

    Sorrento is 80km from base. We build that travel leg into your quote as a visible line item before you book, rather than adding it on the day.

    Head office + secure indoor storage facility. This is where the fleet lives and where storage clients' goods are held.

    Melbourne Mornington Peninsula Sorrento

    Sorrento sits in Mornington Peninsula

    Melbourne's coast-and-hinterland weekend playground and permanent-resident belt — from Mount Eliza prestige down to Portsea cliff-tops, plus Red Hill vineyards and Western Port townships.

    Sorrento is one of the suburbs we cover across Mornington Peninsula. Same crews, same trucks and the same hourly rates apply right across the region, so if you are moving between Mornington Peninsula suburbs — or out of Mornington Peninsula entirely — it is the same team either way. The Mornington Peninsula page lists every suburb we cover in this part of Melbourne.

    Common questions

    Sorrento moving — frequently asked

    Do you handle fragile art and wine-cellar moves for Sorrento properties?

    Yes — Sorrento jobs often involve high-value furniture, art and wine cellars. We bring dedicated protection materials (crating for art, temperature-aware transport for wine, custom padding for heritage pieces) as standard for Sorrento work.

    Are Sorrento heritage-property access constraints a problem?

    Not with proper planning. We survey the property at booking rather than the day — narrow rear lanes and heritage doorway widths are common and we size the truck and packing approach to match.

    How much do removalists cost in Sorrento?

    From $160/hr for a 2T van or $180/hr for a 4T truck with two removalists, with a two-hour minimum and then billed by the minute. Most Sorrento moves run on a 8T at around $200/hr, and at 80km from our Cheltenham Depot the travel component stays modest. Run your address through the Instant Quote calculator for a full breakdown in about two minutes.

    How long does a Sorrento move take?

    A typical Sorrento job runs 5–7 hours, based on the heritage terraces & period homes we move here most often. Stairs, lift waits and carry distance are what move that number, which is why we ask about access before we ask about bedrooms.

    Do you handle the parking and access issues in Sorrento?

    Yes, and it is worth planning. Permit and time-limited parking around Sorrento decides where the truck can legally sit, which decides your carry distance. Photograph the signs outside both addresses and send them through, and we will tell you whether a council permit or a reserved bay is worth arranging.

    Can you move us on a weekend in Sorrento?

    Yes — Saturday and Sunday slots are available and they book out first, so give us as much notice as you can. Weekend work carries a surcharge paid per removalist (+$11/hr Saturday, +$22/hr Sunday on a two-removalist truck), and it is shown on your quote before you commit rather than added afterwards.

    Which suburbs near Sorrento do you also cover?

    All of them. We regularly move between Sorrento and Portsea, Rye, Rosebud, Red Hill, Dromana and Balnarring. A move between two neighbouring suburbs is one of the most common jobs we run — short drive leg, same crew, same hourly rate.

    Are you insured and AFRA accredited?

    Yes. Easy Peasy Removals is an AFRA member, externally audited on insurance, equipment, driver conduct and complaints handling. We carry public liability and goods-in-transit cover, and we can issue a Certificate of Currency on request — usually the same day, which is what most buildings and body corporates ask for before they will release a lift booking.
