Russell and his crew were friendly and reliable – they arrived on time, organised everything and handled our furniture with care. The move was efficient and surprisingly easy, and I felt the whole process was stress‑free thanks to their professionalism. I’d definitely use Central Lakes Removals again for any residential moving.

Russell and his carefully chosen crew are thoroughly processional, organised and super efficient hard workers. Russell was always thinking about what was going on, preventing problems and delays. I am not handy at all - no clue how to disconnect washing machine or Fridge - Russell, Tane and Mikey had it sorted before I realised. Thanks again guys.

Russell and his Central Lakes Removals team were efficient, professional, careful and obliging during our recent house move. Their careful packing skills are noteworthy and they had the presence of mind to leave behind the oven instructions, rather than pack it in with the cookbooks it was sitting amongst! They were happy to help with storage unit items, all with efficiency and good humour. We absolutely recommend them for your house move.

Would highly recommend, great to deal with and willing to go the extra mile. I had a queen bed which needed picking up from Lake Hawea and dropping off in Cromwell. Awesome service and flexible.

We had used Russell to move us from Queenstown to Alexandra three years ago. We have also used him to move us twice in the last three weeks, once into storage and two days ago into our new house. On all occasions, Russell and his team have been prompt, helpful and efficient. For all three moves there has been no damage at all. I am very happy to recommend Central Lakes Removals.

Awesome work today Russell . I gave him all the measurements and he and Jason went thru that yesterday to make sure the pickup, removal & dropoff from Dunedin to Wanaka of a 3m x 1.5m 600kg mounting table would go smoothly - it certainly did with no stress at all . Very grateful and I highly recommend Russel, Jason and Central Lakes Removals Cheers , Dave (Wanaka Signs)

We used Russell and his team to pack up our house and they were awesome! They had a cheerful, friendly, can-do attitude, worked fast and looked after our treasures with care. They definitely took the stress out of the day. Russell has years of experience in the industry and it really showed in his professionalism and excellent commmunication. If you’re moving, I highly recommend booking CLM to help you out.
