Moving Service Dalsig

Dalsig sits right below Stellenbosch Mountain, and some of those driveways are steep. If you’re moving in or out of Dalsig, you want movers who’ve carried a fridge up a slope before. That’s us.

We’re Eikestad Vervoer, based in Stellenbosch. Dalsig is a short drive from the middle of town, so getting to you is quick and cheap.

Call 083 410 9710 for a quote over the phone.

Moving House in Dalsig

Dalsig was farmland once, part of the old Welgevallen farm. Today it’s family homes on big stands, a lot of them over 1 000 square metres, with big gardens and mountain views.

Upper Dalsig (Bo Dalsig) climbs up the slope. Driveways are steeper, and some houses are split over 2 or more levels. Moving a piano down a sloped driveway is a job for experienced hands and a few extra minutes.

Lower down, around Welgelegen and streets like Coligny and Nooitgedacht, it’s flatter. But the houses are just as big. Many have flatlets or garden cottages, and a few are run as guesthouses with several furnished rooms.

So when you call for a quote, tell us about every building on the property. A main house plus 2 cottages is a very different day from just the main house.

Home Moves in Dalsig

A typical Dalsig move is a full family house. Several bedrooms, a lounge and a TV room, a study, a kitchen full of appliances and a patio full of outdoor furniture.

We load heavy pieces first and pack boxes tight around them. Nothing rolls around when the truck heads down the hill.

On a sloped driveway, we park where the truck is level and safe, then carry. It takes a little longer. It’s also how nothing ends up rolling into the road.

Flatlets, Cottages and Guesthouse Moves

Plenty of Dalsig properties have a flatlet or cottage rented out. When a tenant leaves or the owner sells, those rooms need emptying too.

We’ll do the cottage and the main house on the same day. And if you’re closing down a guesthouse, we’ll move room after room of beds and wardrobes without you having to make 6 separate bookings.

Furniture Removals

Downsizing from a Dalsig family home and only taking your favourite pieces works too. We’ll move just those. A few beds, a dining set and a couch make a small move, and that’s fine with us.

1 piece on its own is where we draw the line. We don’t do single-item moves. A full truck and crew for 1 item doesn’t work for us or for your wallet.

Moving Into Dalsig

Moving to Dalsig from somewhere flat means your new driveway is the steepest thing your furniture has ever seen. Plan for it. Send us the new address when you quote and we’ll look at the access before the day.

And decide which floor each room is on before we arrive. In a split-level house, we’d rather carry a bed upstairs once than twice. Stick a label on each door at the new house (main bedroom, study, kids’ room) and our guys follow the labels.

Office Moves

We also move offices. Desks, chairs, filing cabinets, computers and boxes of files. Give us the date you need to be up and running and we’ll plan the move to hit it.

Packing and Wrapping

Packing up a big family home takes days. If you’d rather we did it, we bring boxes and bubble wrap, plus heavy-duty plastic bags for bedding and cushions.

Crockery and framed pictures get wrapped 1 by 1. Furniture gets wrapped too, so it doesn’t scrape on the way through doorways.

If you’re packing yourself, write the room and the floor on each box. In a split-level house, “bedroom 2, top floor” saves everyone a lot of stairs.

Getting From Central Stellenbosch to Dalsig

Dalsig is about 2.5 kilometres from the middle of town. Most of the time it’s 5 to 10 minutes in the truck.

We head south through town, past the Paul Roos and Rhenish school area, and up into Dalsig towards the mountain. Coetzenburg and the university sports grounds are just next door.

School Hours Change Everything

Rhenish Primary, Rhenish Girls’ High, Paul Roos and Eikestad Laerskool are all close to Dalsig. Traffic officers and crossing assistants are out in the mornings and afternoons, and the roads crawl.

Book your start for after the morning drop-off. Everyone gets a calmer street and we get parking right outside.

Steep Driveways in Bo Dalsig

If your driveway is steep, tell us when you call. We’ll check it before the day and plan where the truck stands. It’s the difference between a smooth move and a fridge doing its own thing on a slope.

Moving Out of Town

We’ll move you up to 300 kilometres from Stellenbosch. Cape Town and Paarl are inside that, and so is Hermanus. Anything further is outside our range.
