How Much Does It Cost to Move a 3-Bedroom House in New Zealand? | 2025 Moving Guide
Planning a move for your 3-bedroom house in New Zealand? Whether you’re relocating across town or heading to a new city, understanding the true cost of moving can help you avoid surprises and budget smarter.
At Auckland Movers Cheap, we specialise in affordable, full-service moves across Auckland and nationwide — including customised quotes for 3-bedroom house relocations. Below, we break down the key cost factors and how to get the most value for your money.
📦 Key Factors That Affect the Cost of Moving a 3-Bedroom House in New Zealand
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all price for moving — costs depend on several important factors:
🚛 1. Distance of the Move
Local Moves (within Auckland): Expect to pay between $650–$1,000, depending on distance, time, and property access.
Long-Distance Moves (between cities): Costs typically range from $1,200 to $3,000+, depending on how far you’re moving, fuel, and overnight arrangements.
📦 2. Volume of Belongings
The more items you have, the more space you’ll need in the truck — and possibly more labour.
A typical 3-bedroom house in NZ contains 20–30 cubic meters of furniture and belongings.
More volume means larger trucks and longer loading/unloading times.
🏠 3. Property Access & Complexity
Stairs, narrow hallways, or long driveways can increase labour time and overall costs.
Difficult access or the need for a shuttle vehicle may also add to the price.
🧰 4. Additional Moving Services
Add-ons can smooth your move but may increase costs:
📦 Packing & Unpacking
🪑 Furniture Disassembly/Reassembly
🔐 Short- or Long-Term Storage
🎹 Special Item Handling (pianos, antiques, art)
📅 5. Move Timing
Weekends, public holidays, and peak months (November–February) often come with higher rates. Booking early helps secure better prices and availability.
💡 Average Price to Move a 3-Bedroom House in NZ
Here’s a general breakdown of average costs for 2025:
