Moving Service in Mostertsdrift
Some homes in Mostertsdrift have stood for over a century. Their yellowwood floors have seen generations come and go, and their gardens are shaded by oaks older than anyone living in them. When it’s time to move out of a home like that, you don’t want just any truck and crew. You want people who understand what’s inside.
Eikestad Vervoer is a moving service in Stellenbosch, and Mostertsdrift is part of our home turf. We know the narrow streets between the Eerste River and Jonkershoek Road. We know which driveways are tight, and how quickly traffic builds on a match day.
Every move gets planned properly, handled carefully and delivered on time.

Moving in Mostertsdrift: Old Streets, Old Oaks, Careful Hands
Heritage homes need a gentler touch
Mostertsdrift began as one of Stellenbosch’s first farms, settled along the Eerste River in 1679. By the early 1900s it had become a residential neighbourhood, and many of those original homes still stand. That means:
- Wooden floors that scratch easily.
- Doorways built for a different era.
- Staircases that don’t leave much room for a wardrobe.
Our movers protect floors and door frames and take corners slowly. Heavy pieces get planned out before they’re lifted. Every home gets the same care, whether it’s a Cape Vernacular cottage on Van der Stel Street or a family home backing onto Jan S Marais Park.
Oak-lined streets and tight access
The oaks are what make Mostertsdrift beautiful. They also make it tricky for moving trucks. Low branches, street parking and garden walls all need thinking about before the truck arrives.
When you book, we ask about your street, driveway and parking. We’ll plan where to stop, how to load, and how to keep your garden and your neighbours’ cars untouched.
Jonkershoek Road, match days and the campus rush
Jonkershoek Road carries traffic to and from the Jonkershoek valley all week. Danie Craven and Coetzenburg stadiums are just around the corner, and campus traffic peaks at the start and end of the academic year.
We plan moving times around these busy periods where we can. And because our vehicles are tracked by satellite, we can give you an exact arrival time even when the roads get busy.

A Moving Service Stellenbosch Families Trust
House moving
Mostertsdrift homes tend to be full homes: family furniture, books, art, kitchens that have been cooked in for decades. We handle the whole household, from loading to transport to placing each piece in your new rooms.
Staying in Stellenbosch? Most local moves are done in a day. Moving further? We’ll plan the route and keep you updated the whole way.
Antique and heirloom care
Grandfather clocks, stinkwood cabinets, old mirrors and paintings all need more than a blanket and a hope. Tell us about your valuable or delicate pieces when you book. We’ll wrap and load them with extra care, and place them first thing at the other end.
Office and study moves
Many Mostertsdrift residents work from home or run small practices nearby. Academics working near the university are part of the neighbourhood too. We can help you move office quickly. We move desks, bookshelves, filing cabinets and IT equipment with minimal disruption.
Packing and unpacking
Not keen to spend weeks among boxes? We can pack your home for you, with fragile items wrapped and every box labelled by room. At your new home, we’ll unpack and put everything where it belongs. Just ask.

Getting to You: Routes and Access Tips
Eikestad Vervoer is based in Stellenbosch, so Mostertsdrift is just a few minutes away for us. We come to you. Here’s how to make moving day easier:
- Living on Jonkershoek Road? Traffic runs steadily in both directions. Let us know where the truck can safely stop, and we’ll plan to load quickly.
- On Thibault Street or near the river? Some riverside properties have longer carries from the street to the front door. Mention this when you book so we can bring the right crew size.
- Near Van der Stel or Marais Street? Street parking fills up during the week. If you can, ask a neighbour to leave space in front of your house on moving day.
- Low oak branches? Tell us if the trees hang low over your driveway or street. We’ll plan the vehicle and approach to suit.
- Moving on a weekend? Check the Danie Craven and Coetzenburg fixtures. We’ll help you avoid match-day traffic.
