Removalists Newtown – relocation specialists for the Inner West

Newtown is one of Sydney’s most vibrant inner‑west suburbs. Its main artery, King Street (also called “Eat Street”), and parallel Enmore Road form a 9 km continuous strip hosting more than 600 shopfronts – cafes, restaurants, pubs, galleries and quirky boutiques. Independent theatres such as the New Theatre and the Enmore Theatre anchor the local arts scene, while Camperdown Memorial Park and the historic Camperdown Cemetery offer green respite. Despite its bohemian charm, parking is extremely limited; metered street spaces and small council car parks fill quickly. When moving to Newtown, you need a removalist who understands these logistical challenges.

Understanding Newtown’s quirks

Newtown’s beating heart is King Street, lined with cafes, pubs, restaurants, galleries and shops. The suburb’s independent theatres – New Theatre and the Enmore Theatre – host performances every night. During the annual Newtown Festival and Feastability food festival, streets are bustling, so navigating the area requires careful scheduling. Our team plans around events and peak periods to avoid congestion.

Parking is scarce. Street spaces are metered and strictly monitored; council car parks such as Lennox Street (52 spaces) and Edgeware Road (42 spaces) fill quickly. Private car parks at Newtown Central and Dendy Newtown charge hourly rates. We secure parking permits ahead of time and send a spotter ahead if necessary to hold a space. Residents can apply for parking permits, but these don’t guarantee a space and may not apply to commercial vehicles. Our movers plan to minimise time on busy streets and abide by all restrictions.

We also understand Newtown’s heritage terraces and modern apartments. Many homes have narrow staircases and limited access. We provide pre‑move consultations to assess access, supply custom ramps and use protective pads to prevent damage to walls and floors. Our team is culturally sensitive and respects Newtown’s diverse community.

Your stress‑free Newtown move awaits

Newtown may be busy, but your move doesn’t need to be. Optimove’s local expertise and full‑service approach ensure your relocation is seamless. Contact us today at 1300 400 874. for a transparent quote and let us handle the logistics while you enjoy Newtown’s vibrant lifestyle.

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 2025

“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 2025

“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 2025

“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 2025

“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 2025

Quality, Value, Responsiveness, Punctuality
We will definitely be using Optimove again and would recommend them to anyone. Izzy, Jerry and Hamish where amazing. Very quick, careful and friendly. There where absolutely no faults with this service. After a bad experience the day before with another company and having to book last minute for the next day; the stress was definitely taken away from us with these guys being absolutely perfect. Booking was also super easy and Bella was very informative and kept us up to date all the time. Thanks guys!

Work done in my required time frame
Like others, I chose this removalist company due to the many 5-star removals reviews, and now it’s my turn to add another one. I was initially hesitant about using an hourly rate service with the fear of time wasting for an additional charge. This was not the case with Optimove. I was assigned TJ and Izzy for my move, and these two guys were absolute-machines. They did not stop for a second and in fact, they even at times very politely hurried me along (but still listened attentively) when I was giving them instructions so that they could get the work done in my required timeframe and not have to charge me extra.

Every team member was so polite, friendly, helpful - just lovely! On the day, the guys arrived on time and were absolute champions, careful but quick!

Value For Money, Quality Removals
I have just used Optimove for the third time and they are amazing removalist in Brisbane !! I wouldn’t use anyone else. William and Igor were punctual, fast, friendly, and very efficient. They took really good care of all my stuff and went out of their way to ensure I was happy with everything. From start to end the whole process of dealing with Optimove has been professional and they are a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend this company for all relocation services.

Fantastic removalist job with next day delivery
Brian and Isaiah moved us from the Hunter to Brisbane and did a fantastic job with next day delivery. Isaiah is a genius packer because he somehow managed to fit all our stuff in the truck and it was packed to the roof. He's strong as an ox too. Brain kept to operation running smoothly, and nothing I asked for was a problem for him. I have used a lot of movers over the years, and Optimove removals would have to be one of the best. I dare say I'll be using them again in the not too distant future too.

Best business for all removalist jobs
I was very impressed with the response speed when I was looking for a quote. Then every step after impressed me further with excellent service and the easy communication, the boy’s hard work and professional manner!! I underestimated the amount of my stuff, and the boys had to stay late a few hours to get my moving done. They worked around to accommodate my needs. Thank you so much!! I couldn’t flaw any step of the process! Well done guys! Also, big thanks to the removals business on training staff. Great experience!

Would give these guys more than five stars if I could! I've now used them twice in a couple of weeks to move my stuff into removals storage and then to my new home, and they've gone beyond my expectations both times. Great price, excellent service from start to finish, rapid but also very safe. I couldn't believe the strength of TJ today and the guys' ability to get everything up two flights of stairs with minimal fuss. Will be using and highly recommending Optimove removalists Brisbane for every move in the future. Cheers!

Quality removalist company
Our interstate move was handled with great professionalism, patience, and care by this removalist company. This is our first move, and as with any move, there are complexities. Before the move, Liam at head office dealt with our myriad questions and phone calls with great patience and reassurance, especially as we were not going to be there for pick up. Sam and Ahmed, who delivered and offloaded our things, were absolute gems. The 2 men worked fast and hard and took great care in placing every item and box so as not to damage/scratch any walls/floors. I would definitely use them for the next move!

The best removalists I have ever dealt with.
The best removalists I have ever dealt with. Teejay and Izzy packed everything up so carefully. Plastic wrap and fully protected. They packed up and delivered with no damage, and they were so careful about moving things in the new home.
I will always move with Optimove... No one else compares. Teejay and Izzy... These men were fantastic and so kind. Thanks to the whole team of movers. The easiest move I have ever done.
I am now team Optimove...

Highly Recommended!
I had to book Optimove movers at the last minute after waiting all day for another removal company that after many excuses didn’t show. They went above and beyond to get us a truck within a few hours.
We are so grateful for the empathy, professionalism, attitude, caring, and helpful way in which they went about the whole process of our move. From our first point of contact with the lovely Rene on the phone to our friendly removalists Brian and William, who respected our furniture and moved everything carefully to our new house with the utmost care.
A big THANK YOU for helping us in a very stressful situation. I highly recommend these removalists!

Best removals company
Moved a couple of months ago with Optimove and couldn't be happier with their service. Daniel and Brian were fantastic movers. The guys had to move all of our stuff up four flights of stairs as our new apartment doesn't have a lift, and they didn't skip a beat. I was exhausted after going up, and down the stairs a couple of times, these guys were doing it for hours and barely needed to rest. Will definitely be using Optimove for my next move, thanks, guys!

Was the safe delivery of our items.
Our move was the easiest ever with Optimove. Our two Removalists were Nella and Marc, who took great care of our furniture items. We were delighted with their efficiency and care.
We moved from Toowoomba to Brisbane. It was estimated to take 8 hours; they did it in 6 hours. All our furniture was wrapped, and it arrived at the new house without even a scratch.
Nella and Marc offered a lot of assistance with a friendly attitude. Highly recommend!
Regarding the cost, offered a reasonably average hourly rate. But what mattered most to us, was the safe delivery of our items.

Optimove came in the cheapest by far.
We have moved many times over the past 16 years, and have always used large, well-known moving companies. We were a bit concerned, based on how little the quote was and the fact they were new, and we’d never heard of them, but we needn’t have worried. From our first communication, they were professional and quick to reply. Special mention to our removalists, Daniel, Chris, Assad and Sam (we had two deliveries due to the amount of furniture and boxes) - they were all lovely men, friendly, hard-working, and had the truck packed in record time. Just get a quote.

Communicative and extremely friendly movers
This is the first time we used professional removalists, and I will never go back! From the first phone call to the handshake after, the team that moved us was professional, timely, communicative and extremely friendly. They thought about the easiest way of removing and transporting our items to our new home, and I honestly could not recommend them highly enough. I will be referring them to all of my friends and family, and they'll be the only people I trust with my next move. 10/10 will use again! :) Great job guys!!

Friendly people
The staff were professional & friendly movers however the price is not so much.
The original price quoted was $65/ per half hour/ min 2 hours, and when we booked our move for 5 am, we were charged an extra $22 per half hour (which was excellent for the early wake up) but then we had to book a minimum 4 hours! At first, I misread and thought it was $87 per hour which I thought was excellent compared to what I was quoted, but my bad - I didn’t read it correctly. In comparison to pricing, Mini Movers were not going to charge extra for out of hours and were cheaper per hour. We only used 3 hours in the end and the price quoted is not inclusive of GST. Highly recommend local removalists!

Absolutely amazing company!
The boys from Optimove removals were amazing. The team who scheduled our move were friendly and understanding. Our removalists, TJ and Brian, were machines and got the job done on time. They packed all of our goods with impeccable care and didn't take any shortcuts. They were fast, efficient, friendly and just downright good blokes. The boys covered all of our furniture in shrink wrap, and nothing at all was marked. The whole Optimove experience was terrific. They charge less than the competitors and provide A+++ class service. Highly recommended and would use them again! Cheers guys!

The guys arrived on time. These people were fast and responsible.
Great removalists Brisbane service. The guys arrived on time. They were fast and responsible. I had to move heavy furniture including a piano. They took care of my furniture and moved everything without any damage.
They were fair on estimating time and only started charging from the moment they started working rather than arrival time.
I'm so happy with the hassle-free move and will use them in the future. Stat of the art local removals!

They get the job done!
Honestly could not recommend these guys more. Rayzor and John, the two gentlemen who helped me and my children move, were kind, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. I would not hesitate in asking them to help me again and would recommend them to friends and family in a heartbeat. I have moved a few times and now would never use a different company. I never felt rush or uncomfortable with them and the price was extremely reasonable. Do yourselves a favor and hire them! I definitely recommend Optimove removals services.

Nela, James and Rodrigo showed up on time, moved quickly, catered for all my preferences, and successfully completed the entire move before I knew it. Some of the many things worth noting were Nela’s team’s care factor, commitment to see the task through despite unique challenges that the move presented to us, great communication, kindness and physical strength. I have used Optimove office moves 3 times over the last two years, each time amongst stressful personal circumstances, and time and time again this group of people keeps amazing me. If you are after a smooth move at affordable rates, look no further. Our interstate removalist job was so easy with you. Optimove removalists services are your best option for any removalist job!

These guys are the dream team of removalists
Nela and Mana were beyond amazing, these guys are the dream team of removalists, I could recommend them highly enough. On top of doing a stellar job moving us into our new house, they also moved a new (massive) fridge up a tight staircase. They moved heavy items in our belongings as refrigerators and large antiques with care and precision. What’s worth noting about this is that just the day before we had paid for the premium delivery service of the fridge from the good guys who after arriving refused to take it upstairs and left it. I can’t thank you guys enough for the professionalism and all-round great guys that you are!

Great care wrapping and transporting
Last time we moved, we had a terrible experience with a different company, so this time I wanted to make sure we found a good company. I read through what felt like a million reviews to see what people were saying about each company (as you can't always trust the stars)! The reviews for Optimove moving service seemed the most uniformly positive, so we went with them, was easy to get a quote, and I'm happy to say we can now add our own (very) positive review to the list as they were fantastic! They were lovely, friendly, and polite, took great care wrapping and transporting everything, and did an amazing, precision job doing a last-minute balcony lift for a piece of furniture that we hadn't anticipated wouldn't fit via the usual route. They moved a lot of my furniture and heavy items at an excellent price.

Damien & David. Absolute heroes. I have never come across two individuals who were not only passionate about what they do for a living but super-enthusiastic, energetic & friendly doing it! Nothing was too hard for them. We are left feeling at peace, relaxed and ready to enjoy our new apartment. I will be recommending these guys & this company for a long, long, long time. Thank you so much Optimove moving service. Thanks again, Damien & David. The boys paid great attention to every detail in our removalist job. Nothing was missed or left behind. You guys made our moving experience really easy & exciting.
