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

Moving into Velddrif, or out of it? Biggles Removals is a fully insured team of furniture movers working the whole West Coast, and our furniture removals and moving services run the R27 down to Cape Town every week. What most moving companies underestimate here is the water. The Berg River splits this town in two, so half the addresses are reached across the Carinus Bridge and a fair number of them are on a canal or a jetty lane rather than a street.

Professional Moving Company in Velddrif | Verified by Excellent Reviews

Velddrif is named after a crossing. The drift was in the veld, and a farmer called Theunis Smit used it to take his stock over the Berg River to grazing on the other side. The town is still about that crossing: the R27 meets the R399 here, the river runs through the middle of it, and Laaiplek sits on one bank while Port Owen’s 3.5 km of waterways sit on the other. Add the jetties where the bokkoms hang and the 24,000 hectare estuary behind them, and you have a town where a great many front doors face water. For a removal that is the whole job, because a marina berth, a jetty lane and an ordinary street are three different approaches.

We’re set up for the way Velddrif actually moves. If you’re sending a student room down to Cape Town or across to Stellenbosch, our mini removal team is the one you want. If your transfer date and your move in date don’t line up, that’s what secure storage for a Velddrif move 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 car has to travel with you we’ll arrange vehicle transport on the same booking. Every Velddrif move is booked through our Cape Town branch.

Moving Company Services Across Velddrif and the West Coast

Whatever you are moving out of Velddrif, there is a service sized for it. Our moving services run from a single item collected on Bokkomlaan to a full house cleared off a Port Owen canal, with the same crew standards and the same goods in transit cover on every one.

🏠 House & Flat Removals

Full households in the village, on the canals or out on the farms, loaded, secured and offloaded into place.

🏢 Office & Commercial Moves

Offices, fish processing admin blocks, shops and guest houses moved after hours so you are trading as normal again the next morning.

🚐 Velddrif 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.

🏪 West Coast 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 Johannesburg, Pretoria 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 Boat Transport

Cars, bakkies and boat trailers moved on the same booking as your furniture, which on this river is asked for more than most places.

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

Moving company prices in Velddrif 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 the Berg River mouth 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 canal frontage or a jetty lane is involved, any specialty items, and extras such as packing or storage.

Property Size Local Velddrif 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 7 September 2026. Velddrif sits about 145 km north of Cape Town on the R27, where that road meets the R399 at the Berg River mouth, so a run down to the city is priced as a regional move rather than a local one. Long-distance removals from Velddrif 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 Velddrif move is booked through the Cape Town branch. For an accurate figure, contact your moving consultant.

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in Velddrif

Local Velddrif moves start from around R1,900 for a one bedroom flat and run to about R16,000 for a four bedroom home, with the exact figure set by volume, access and whether a canal frontage or a jetty lane is involved. Long distance moves off the coast start from about R5,000 for a one bedroom load. The table above sets out the full range, and a written quote pins it down.
About 145 km north on the R27, and it is easy driving the whole way. That makes a move to the city a comfortable single day rather than an overnight job, and it is why we quote Velddrif as a regional run rather than a long haul.
Yes, and it is worth telling us at quote stage. Port Owen is 3.5 km of waterways, so a fair number of houses there are reached down a narrow canal frontage with limited turning space. Give us the street and we will check the approach before the vehicle is booked.
Constantly. Laaiplek is part of Velddrif and the older lanes down by the jetties are tight, with the drying racks and the working boats taking up what space there is. We size the vehicle to the lane rather than to the load alone.
It does, and it is the single most useful thing to tell us. The river runs through the middle of Velddrif and the Carinus Bridge is the crossing, so a move from one bank to the other is a short job that still has to go round by the bridge. Say which side you are on and which side you are going to.
Two weeks is comfortable. December and January are the busy window because the holiday houses and the marina change over at once. If your date has moved on you, call anyway, because we run the West Coast weekly rather than occasionally.
Yes, and it is our most common run off this stretch of coast. About 145 km down the R27, so depending on the load it is either a long morning with one crew and one truck or a comfortable full day.
Yes. Our mini removals service exists for exactly that, whether it is a single room, a fridge and a lounge suite, or one item going to family. You pay for the vehicle and the space you use rather than a full truck.
Yes. If your transfer date and your move in date do not line up, we can hold your goods in secure storage and deliver when you are ready. Everything is listed and sealed going in, so nothing is guessed at coming out.
Yes. Goods in transit cover is included on every move we quote, local or long distance. If you are moving anything unusually valuable, say so at quote stage so it is listed properly rather than assumed.
Yes, and on this river we are asked for it more than almost anywhere else. A boat, a trailer or a second vehicle can travel on the same booking as your household goods so one crew handles the whole relocation.
Yes, constantly. Velddrif sits at the top of St Helena Bay, so Vredenburg, Saldanha and St Helena Bay are all short local runs, and they are some of the most frequent jobs we do on this coast.
Yes. Holiday houses and short let properties around Port Owen and along the river turn over on tight changeover windows, particularly over December. Give us the handover date and we will build the move around it.
Yes, on a regular long distance schedule rather than a one off charter. You can take a dedicated truck for your load alone, or share the space on a scheduled run and pay a share of the cost. Both carry goods in transit cover.
Yes. George, Mossel Bay, Knysna and Plettenberg Bay are all covered, routed through Cape Town. It is a common retirement move off the West Coast and we run it often enough to quote it properly.
Yes. Vredendal, Citrusdal and Clanwilliam are all normal work for us, and the run north from here is one we make regularly rather than as a special trip.
Yes. We deliver boxes, tape, paper and bubble wrap before the move so you can pack at your own pace, or our crew can pack the whole house for you. Unused boxes are simply not charged for.
Water and width. Canal frontages at Port Owen and the working lanes at Laaiplek both limit where a long truck can stand, and the bridge decides the route between the two banks. We check the offload address before quoting so a shuttle vehicle is priced in rather than sprung on you.

Velddrif is a town of the Bergrivier Municipality in the West Coast District, at the mouth of the Berg River where it opens into St Helena Bay, about 145 km north of Cape Town on the R27. It takes its name from a drift a farmer used to cross the river with his stock, and the crossing is still what shapes the town. Moves down to the city are booked through our Cape Town branch, longer hauls north follow the Cape Town to Johannesburg corridor, and you can start anywhere from the Biggles Removals home page.
