Removalists in Rhodes
Rhodes is one of Sydney's densest high-rise apartment precincts, on a Parramatta River peninsula. A 2-bed apartment with lift is $600–$900 + GST at $150/hr; a 1-bed is $450–$600 + GST. Nearly every Rhodes move is a tower job — service-lift bookings and loading docks are the whole game.

Moving in Rhodes
What Rhodes actually involves.
Rhodes 2138 sits on a Parramatta River peninsula in the City of Canada Bay, on the T9 line. It is one of Sydney's most concentrated high-rise apartment precincts — dozens of towers built since the 2000s around the station, the waterfront and the Rhodes Central and IKEA precincts.
Every Rhodes move is effectively a tower job. The buildings all have service lifts, dedicated loading docks and strict body-corporate move windows (1–2 weeks notice, sometimes a bond and Certificate of Currency). The building name is essential on the quote call so we plan the dock entry and lift booking.
The peninsula's road access is limited — Rider Boulevard, Walker Street and Concord Road feed the towers. Weekday mid-morning is cleanest. Tower-to-tower moves within Rhodes are common; we align the two lift windows so the crew is not left waiting.
Before you book
What to tell us when you call.
The quicker we know these, the tighter the hours range on your quote.
01
Every move is a tower move — book the lift
Rhodes towers all need a booked service-lift window and dock slot, 1–2 weeks notice. Send us the building name and booking.
02
Tower-to-tower within Rhodes? Align both windows
Overlap the lift slots so the crew moves straight from load-out to load-in.
03
Dock access, not kerbside
Rhodes towers use basement or ground docks — we plan the entry from the building name.

Representative move
A typical Rhodes move.
2-bed high-rise apartment · off Walker Street · 4.5 hours · $675 + GST
A common Rhodes job: a 2-bedroom apartment in one of the waterfront towers off Walker Street, high floor with a service lift and a loading dock booked for a set window.
Two movers and a truck, four and a half hours — 4.5 × $150 = $675 + GST. The lift and dock booking ran the day; once set it was a straightforward job.
Pattern: in the Rhodes waterfront towers, the lift and dock booking run the day. Two movers suits most 1- and 2-bed apartments; three for a full three-bedroom.
