Off to the Friendly City? A Cape Town to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) move is a comfortable one — the coastal N2 keeps this route short and steady, and our weekly shared-load departures mean there’s almost always a truck heading down to the Bay soon. Whether it’s a studio flat or a full family home, we pack, pad and compartmentalise everything so it arrives in Gqeberha just as it left Cape Town.

As regulars along this stretch of coast, we also offer dedicated full-truck moves when you’d prefer the whole vehicle — a little notice is all we ask.

Rated 4.8★ by 169 customers on Google  ·  Full GIT insurance for R200K is included in your quote  ·  Trusted South African movers.

Shared Load Removals — Well Managed and Very Cost-Effective

With a shared load, your belongings ride alongside other customers’ items on the same truck, each consignment carefully compartmentalised and kept apart. You only pay for the space you actually use — a smart, cost-effective way to move at any size, and ideal if you’re happy to work around a scheduled run. Protective wrapping, packing and storage are all available to make the day effortless. Prefer to travel solo? Our dedicated full-truck option gives you the whole vehicle on a date of your choosing.

Your final quote comes down to how much you’re moving, the materials you choose, and when you’d like to travel. Send us your free online inventory and we’ll reply with an exact price within a few hours.

Destination Highlights

Port Elizabeth — now officially known as Gqeberha — is the largest city in the Eastern Cape and is situated on Nelson Mandela Bay. With its warm Indian Ocean beaches, the famous Addo Elephant National Park nearby, and a growing economy, it is an increasingly popular destination for families and professionals relocating from Cape Town. The city offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle at a lower cost of living, making it an attractive option for those considering the move east.

Biggles Removals serves all major suburbs in Port Elizabeth and Gqeberha including Summerstrand, Newton Park, Walmer, Mill Park, Lorraine, Sunridge Park, Rowallan Park, Uitenhage, Despatch, and surrounding areas.

We also cover Western Cape destinations such as Struisbaai.

Some Reasons Why People Are Moving to Port Elizabeth

Port Elizabeth — officially Gqeberha, and forever the Friendly City — keeps winning over Cape Town families looking for space, sea and breathing room. Property here stretches your rand far further than in the Mother City, the beaches are warm and swimmable, and commutes are famously short. From Summerstrand’s beachfront to leafy Walmer and the family suburbs out west, here is why so many of our customers are heading up the N2.

Port Elizabeth city and coastline

The Friendly City Lifestyle

Gqeberha runs on a gentler clock. Swimmable beaches at Summerstrand and Hobie Beach, established schools, short commutes and some of South Africa’s most affordable coastal property make the Friendly City an easy place to put down roots — and our trucks arrive from Cape Town every week.
