The Gold Coast is famous for its golden beaches, thriving tourism sector and relaxed coastal lifestyle. Whether you’re moving within the region or relocating from another city, you need a removalist who understands the unique challenges of coastal living: high‑rise apartments, narrow beachfront streets and busy tourist seasons. Optimove has more than 20 years of experience moving households and businesses on the Gold Coast. Our five-star-rated team combines local knowledge, affordable pricing, and full-service options to make your move seamless.
Local Insights: Life and Logistics on the Gold Coast
Moving on the Gold Coast is more than transporting goods; it’s about embracing a lifestyle. Residents wake up to sparkling waves, golden sand and hinterland views. Markets, festivals and community events encourage newcomers to connect. Life here balances work and play – you might spend your weekdays in a corporate office and your weekends surfing or hiking.
When planning a move, consider factors that influence cost and timing. Distance, the volume and weight of your belongings, and access conditions all impact the final price. High‑rise apartments in Main Beach, Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach or Palm Beach often have limited parking and strict booking systems for lifts. Our team liaises with building managers, reserves elevators and ensures the right number of staff are on hand. Typical removals rates range from $450 for a one‑bed unit to around $2,600 for a four‑bed house
The Gold Coast lifestyle is diverse. Surfers Paradise offers nightlife, shopping and iconic beaches. Burleigh Heads is known for its national park and cafés. Broadbeach blends residential towers with world‑class dining. The southern suburbs of Palm Beach and Coolangatta boast a slower pace and family‑friendly atmosphere. Wherever you’re moving, Optimove’s removalists understand local traffic patterns and seasonal influxes so you can enjoy the city’s relaxed vibe from day one.

My partner and I have just used Optimove removals for a double move – stuff out of my house to storage whilst another truck at his place to bring his furniture and belongings to here and more to storage. We went with them based on price and a promise of ‘great care’
The removalist service has been fantastic. The boys all moved fast on both crews, were so easy to deal with, and I’ll be honest I can’t remember the last time I saw everything plastic and or blanket wrapped so well to completely protect everything we have. I would HIGHLY recommend these guys. Jacqueline Nagle
“By far the best removalists I have used. Adam and Chris were fantastic. On time, polite, energetic, fast and careful with all of my furniture. Reasonably priced and very efficient .” Jessie Mariee Watson, 29 August 2016
“I couldn’t have been happier with my choice of Optimove to shift a lot of my precious belongings into storage. The removal team phoned me to give an estimated time of arrival and when they arrived no time was wasted. The 2 removalists were fast and efficient. I was very impressed and would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for removalists and would have no hesitation in employing their services again.” Sue Bertram, 19 August 2016
“Best removal company we have ever used. Optimove removals is a great moving company, two nice lads who moved at a good pace. Everything was well looked after and arrived in perfect condition. Very good prices, next time you are looking to move to a new location check these removalists out. Better than a hiring a truck and moving your own stuff by a long way. On time, polite, no hidden costs – the most energetic men ever!!!!!” Kirsten Maria Corin, 2 August 2016
“On Saturday just gone, Adam and Chris from Optimove did an outstanding job in moving us from Burleigh Heads to Cornubia. They worked tirelessly without stopping for 5-6 hours until the job was done, whilst taking absolute care of all our possessions. They were friendly, honest and just downright good blokes. I high recommend Optimove.” Glen Read, 18 July 2016
“Just wanted to take a second to say a big thank you to the team at Optimove. The guys that arrived on the day were so friendly, helpful and professional. I couldn’t believe that when they said everything would get wrapped and protected that it actually happened. I have moved several times in the past but I found these guys definitely stood out amongst the rest with their speed and professionalism…” Carly Turner, 9 July 2016
