South Wharf Self Storage

Melbourne is the second-largest city in Australia, and space in the city is at an absolute premium. If you're looking for storage in South Wharf, then we can match you up with people who have space to spare. The majority of the listings at Spacer are from individuals and businesses that have access to storage they are simply not using. Using Spacer, our hosts can easily list and rent out this additional space, and we can handle all the payments and any insurance issues.

At Spacer, we have listings for storage units all over Melbourne. When you search a suburb, we'll show you everything currently available within a 10km radius. If you can't find anything, it is best to extend your search to other suburbs. Melbourne is a well laid out city and using a vehicle or public transport you can get to any location. Depending on what is best for your location, you'll find storage in the west at Tullamarine, the north at North Melbourne, the east at Kilsyth and Montrose, and the southeast at Moorabbin. If you'd prefer, you can even find storage in Geelong. If you're looking for cheap storage, you may find that moving further away from the city is the answer.

How to choose the suitable storage unit in South Wharf?

When you're looking for storage in South Wharf, there are many things you'll need to consider. Firstly, you need to make sure it is big enough to house everything you need. For first-time storage renters, this can be challenging to get right. However, as a guide, if you have a unit about the size of a standard car garage (3m x 5m x 3m), you can store the contents of most three-bedroom homes. But if you're only looking to declutter your home, then a unit about half this size (1.5m x 2.5m x 3m) will often be enough.

After you have the right size, you need to examine what security options are included. A storage unit will have a padlock that you supply at the bare minimum, but some storage facilities may include CCTV (close-circuit television), swipe card or pin pad entry, or even guard patrols. You'll usually find that with increased security, the monthly rents are higher. The final consideration is your budget. How much would you like to spend on monthly storage? You'll notice that most professional storage centres cost about the same, but with Spacer, we have many listings from regular people. Some homes, especially rental units, will have a space available that is never used; this can be a bedroom in their house or a garage. While these places may not have high-end security, like what you'll get in purpose-built storage facilities, they are an excellent option if you want a unit close by for regular access.

Another factor you can consider is how you can access the storage in South Wharf. Many units are available 24/7, and you don't need to tell anyone you will be onsite. However, there are some spaces that you need to provide the agreed amount of notice. All storage access requirements are listed on the individual storage listing page.

Are storage units safe?

Storage in South Wharf is considered very safe. All our units are listed with the security options included. You can choose the one that fits your security requirements. If you are storing items that may have value to others, it is best to go with a unit that has the highest amount of security. The main advantage of a storage unit is keeping items out of your home. For your own security, you can supply a padlock for the unit, giving you the option of choosing the best padlock possible.

At Spacer, all our units are covered under our insurance. This insurance will cover you for up to $10,000. For the best security of your items, it is good to have an inventory of everything stored. Most storage in South Wharf are empty units, but you can use freestanding shelving units to help you organise everything there.

How long can I rent a unit?

Generally, storage in South Wharf is offered on a month by month basis. All the listings at Spacer will have a start and end date included. Although most of our listings are for an ongoing engagement, you're required to give notice if you wish to end the arrangement (usually one month). If you only need the unit for a short time, such as if you're preparing to move interstate, you can request the space and give suitable notice before you're ready to leave.

You may find that some spaces are offered for different monthly rents based on how many months you plan on staying. However, most hosts are happy for a one month lease or for you to hold it for 12 months or more. If the host is requesting a minimum stay, then it'll be mentioned in the listing.
