Removalists Geelong
Ocean Grove is the biggest town on the Bellarine Peninsula, which also makes it one of the busiest for local moves — everything from original beach cottages near The Terrace to new-build homes going up in the growth areas further from the coast. We’re based just up the road in Armstrong Creek, so Ocean Grove moves are close to home for us, not a cross-region trip.
Quick answer
MS Express covers all of Ocean Grove and the surrounding Bellarine Peninsula — from the older streets near the beach and The Terrace to the newer estates further inland. Fully insured, fixed written quotes, and because we’re based in Armstrong Creek, we’re usually only 15-20 minutes away.
Moving in Ocean Grove
Ocean Grove sits about 20km south-east of Geelong, on the eastern side of the Barwon River mouth, with Barwon Heads just across the bridge. It’s grown well beyond its holiday-town roots into a proper residential community — families, retirees, and a growing number of people who’ve made the move from Melbourne for the coastal lifestyle.
Two different housing eras mean two different moving jobs:
- Older homes near the coast and The Terrace. Think weatherboard beach cottages, some on elevated blocks with steps, and streets that can get tight with holiday traffic in peak season. Good access planning matters more here than in a standard suburban street.
- Newer estates further from the beach. Larger modern homes, wider streets, easier truck access — but often bigger jobs simply because there’s more house and more furniture.
Either way, tell us about stairs, tight streets, or parking restrictions when you book — it’s factored into your written quote upfront, not added as a surprise on the day.
What we move
Full house removals, share-house and unit moves, and furniture-only jobs — a single bulky item or a full load. Blankets, straps and trolleys are standard on every job, and larger furniture gets disassembled and reassembled where needed, at both ends.

Areas we cover near Ocean Grove
Along with Ocean Grove itself, we regularly move people around the rest of the Bellarine Peninsula, including Barwon Heads, Point Lonsdale, Queenscliff, and the Surf Coast towns of Torquay and Jan Juc — plus Geelong and its suburbs, since that’s where we’re based. Moving from Melbourne down to the coast, or the other way, is also one of our most common jobs — see our Victoria moving cost guide for what that typically looks like.

Frequently asked questions
Do you move furniture within Ocean Grove, not just full house moves?
Yes — we handle single-item and furniture-only jobs as well as full house removals. Get in touch with what you need moved and we’ll quote it directly.
Can you handle beach cottages with steps or tricky access?
Yes — plenty of older Ocean Grove homes have steps or narrow access, and it’s exactly the kind of detail we ask for upfront so your quote reflects the real job, not a generic estimate.
How far is Ocean Grove from your depot?
We’re based in Armstrong Creek, roughly 15-20 minutes from Ocean Grove — it’s one of our closest and most regular service areas.
Do you move people between Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads or other Bellarine towns?
Regularly. Short moves across the Bellarine Peninsula — Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Point Lonsdale, Queenscliff — are some of our most common local jobs.
Is parking or street access ever an issue for the truck?
Some streets near the coast and The Terrace get tight, especially over summer. Let us know your address when you book and we’ll plan the truck and crew size around it.
