Montagu Moving Company and Furniture Removals: Professional, Insured & Affordable

Moving to Montagu, or leaving it? Biggles Removals is a fully insured team of furniture movers working the R62 and the Langeberg valleys, and our furniture removals and moving services run through Cogmanskloof in both directions every week. What most moving companies underestimate here is the way in: the gorge is 6.5 kilometres of river road with a 15 metre tunnel blasted through Kalkoenkrans, and it is effectively the only practical route from the Cape Town side. A vehicle that will not fit through it does not reach your house.

Professional Moving Company in Montagu | Verified by Excellent Reviews

Montagu is not one kind of move, because it is not one kind of town. It was laid out in 1851 on the farm Uitvlugt and named after John Montagu, Colonial Secretary of the Cape, and the street grid that followed in 1860 still runs the way the wagon roads did, along the rivers. Long Street and Bath Street carry more than a dozen declared heritage properties between them, and the R62 runs straight down Long Street, so the most historic address in town is also a regional through route. North of that sits the Koo valley, a working fruit district of apples, pears, apricots and peaches. A cottage in the old core and a farmhouse up the Koo are different jobs, and your quote should say so before the truck is booked.

We’re We are set up for the way Montagu actually moves. If you are sending a room down to Cape Town or across to Robertson, our mini removal team is the one you want. If your transfer date and your occupation date do not line up, that is what secure storage is for. One or two rooms travelling a long way is a job for part-load removals, a full house going up country is a long distance removal, and if a second vehicle has to travel with you we will arrange vehicle transport on the same booking. Every Montagu move is booked through our Cape Town branch.

Moving Company Services Across Montagu and the Langeberg

Whatever you are moving out of Montagu, there is a service sized for it. Our moving services run from a single item collected in Bath Street to a full farmhouse relocation out of the Koo valley, with the same crew standards and the same goods in transit cover on every one.

🏠 House & Flat Removals

Full households from the Bath Street cottages to the farmhouses up the Koo, loaded, secured and set down in place at your new address.

🏢 Office & Commercial Moves

Shops and offices along Long Street moved after hours, so you are trading as normal again by the next morning, fully insured.

🚐 Montagu Mini Removals

One room, a few items or a student load, on a smaller vehicle so you pay for the space you actually use and not a whole truck.

🛡️ Protective Wrapping & Packing

Blankets, strapping and full wrap for lounge suites, mattresses and glass, packed by the crew before anything leaves the house.

🏪 Cape Winelands Storage

Secure storage between transfer dates, with your inventory listed and sealed so nothing is guessed at when it comes back out.

🛣️ Long-Distance Removals

Closed trucks and experienced drivers running to Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban, with goods in transit cover on every trip.

🚚 Countrywide Shared Loads

Share the truck space on a scheduled run and pay a share of the cost, which suits small flats and single items over distance.

🚗 Car and Vehicle Transport

Cars, bakkies and trailers moved on the same booking as your furniture, so one crew handles the whole relocation end to end.

How we as your localised Moving Team in Montagu make your move as affordable as possible

Moving company prices in Montagu vary a great deal, and you should know roughly what to expect before you commit to anything. The table below gives you a realistic sense of what a local move around Montagu and the Langeberg costs, and what the runs down to Cape Town and up country cost. Every figure is an estimate: your quote depends on the volume of furniture, access at both addresses, whether a heritage frontage limits where the truck can stand, any specialty items, and extras such as packing or storage.

Property Size Local Montagu Moving Prices Long Distance Moving Costs
1 Bedroom R1,900 to R4,000 R5,000 to R9,000
2 Bedroom R3,500 to R6,500 R9,000 to R16,000
3 Bedroom R6,000 to R10,000 R15,000 to R30,000
4+ Bedrooms R9,000 to R16,000+ R24,000 to R40,000+

Based on an average amount of furniture per home size and our current rate per cubic foot. Last updated 8 September 2026. Montagu sits about 185 kilometres from Cape Town on the R62, roughly two hours, so a move to the city is priced as a regional run rather than a long distance one. Long-distance removals from Montagu are influenced by a wider set of variables than local moves, primarily distance, road access, time of year, and whether you opt for a full load or a shared load. Longer hauls are quoted on our Cape Town to Johannesburg route, and every Montagu move is booked through the Cape Town branch. For an accurate figure, contact your moving consultant.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in Montagu

A local move inside Montagu and around the Langeberg runs about R1,900 to R4,000 for a one bedroom home, R3,500 to R6,500 for two bedrooms, R6,000 to R10,000 for three bedrooms and R9,000 to R16,000+ for four or more. Long distance removals out of Montagu run about R5,000 to R9,000 for one bedroom, R9,000 to R16,000 for two, R15,000 to R30,000 for three and R24,000 to R40,000+ for four or more. Your own figure depends on the volume of furniture, access at both addresses and the services you add.
The town itself, Ashbury and Bergsig, plus the smallholdings along the Keisie and Kingna rivers and the farms up the Koo valley north of the neck. Ashton is a few minutes west through Cogmanskloof, Robertson about 29 kilometres on, and Bonnievale, McGregor and Barrydale all sit inside our normal working week. If your address is a farm rather than a street number, give us the nearest gate and we will plan the vehicle around it.
Yes, and they need planning rather than muscle. Long Street and Bath Street carry more than a dozen declared heritage properties between them, with narrow frontages, low stoeps, timber floors and doorways that were built before modern furniture. We measure the awkward pieces before the day, protect thresholds and floors, and where a piece will not turn on a stair we take it apart properly rather than force it.
Two to three weeks is comfortable for a local move and about four weeks for a long distance one. Montagu fills up over long weekends, the spring flower season and the climbing months, and month end is the busiest window anywhere in the country. If your dates are fixed by a transfer, book as soon as you have them and we will hold the slot.
Yes. Saturday moves are common here, and we run Sundays and public holidays by arrangement. Weekend work is quoted the same way as a weekday move. Tell your moving consultant the date you need and it goes into the schedule.
Yes, and it is one of our regular runs. Cape Town is about 185 kilometres away on the R62 and the N1, roughly two hours, so a move between the two is priced as a regional job rather than a long distance one. Households, offices and student loads all travel the same route.
Yes. Our mini removals service puts a small load on a smaller vehicle so you pay for the space you use instead of a whole truck. It suits a single room, a few pieces of furniture, or one item bought at auction that has to reach an address across town.
Yes. Transfer dates and occupation dates often miss each other by days or weeks, so we hold goods in secure storage in between. Everything is inventoried and sealed before it goes in, so what comes back out is checked against a list rather than a memory.
Yes. Goods in transit cover is carried on every Biggles job, local or long distance, and it applies from the moment the crew starts loading. If you are moving anything of unusual value, a piano, art, a wine collection or specialist equipment, declare it when you book so the cover and the packing are both matched to it.
Yes. Shops and offices along Long Street, guest houses, professional practices and the packing sheds out towards the Koo are all work we do regularly. Commercial moves are usually run after hours or over a weekend so that you are trading as normal the next morning.
A one or two bedroom home inside town is normally a single day and often a morning. A three or four bedroom house is a full day, and a day and a half if packing is included. A farm move up the Koo adds travel at both ends. Heritage frontages, long carries and stairs all add time, which is why the crew looks at access before quoting rather than after.
Three things. Cogmanskloof, where the tunnel through Kalkoenkrans sets the height of any vehicle that reaches town. The old core, where the R62 runs down Long Street past heritage frontages with nowhere obvious to stand a truck. And the farm roads up the Koo, which are long, gravel in places and decide what we can safely send. All three are settled at quoting stage, not on the morning.
Yes. The Koo is a working fruit district and farm moves are a normal part of our week here. They differ from town moves in three ways: the driveway decides the vehicle, there is usually a shed or workshop as well as a house, and distances at both ends add hours. Tell us what is in the outbuildings when you book, because that is the part most quotes miss.
Yes. We run it on closed trucks with experienced drivers and goods in transit cover on every trip. You can take a full load or share the truck space on a scheduled run, which costs less and suits a flat or a part household. Pretoria goes on the same schedule.
Yes. The R62 east through the Klein Karoo is the natural line, and George is a comfortable single day run. Knysna, Plettenberg Bay and Mossel Bay all go on the same route, and coastal relocations out of the Langeberg are steady work for us.
Yes, all of it. Ashton is minutes west through Cogmanskloof, Robertson about 29 kilometres, Bonnievale roughly 23 kilometres south and McGregor up its own valley road. Worcester is about 78 kilometres west on the R60 and Swellendam south over the mountains. All of them fall on our normal weekly pattern.
Yes. Boxes, tape, bubble wrap, paper and mattress covers can be delivered to you before the move, and the crew brings blankets and strapping on the day as standard. If you would rather not pack at all, our packing service does the whole house or just the kitchen and the breakables.
No, and it is a common mix up. Montagu Pass crosses the Outeniqua Mountains near George, about four hundred kilometres east of here, and it was built between 1844 and 1847. The road into Montagu is Cogmanskloof, a 6.5 kilometre gorge on the R62 between Ashton and the town, with a 15 metre tunnel through Kalkoenkrans and an 1899 Anglo-Boer War blockhouse on the hill above it. Both are named after the same John Montagu, Colonial Secretary of the Cape, which is where the confusion starts.

Rock climbing, Muscadel and dried fruit all bring people to the town, and people who come eventually move house.
