News & Updates

As the days are getting warmer and longer, students’ final exams and assessments are fast approaching, followed by the change of routine the end of the academic year brings. 

This begs the questions - what are your plans for summer? Catching up with friends and family? Hanging out at the beach? Hoping for the opportunity to pick up some work? Jumping on a plane and heading back home? 

However, before heading away from the town or city where you live and study during term time, a more immediate question is - what are your plans to keep your things secure over the summer months?

Finding a secure, flexible, and convenient place for your possessions is an important part of enjoying a stress-free summer and when the time comes, easing into the new academic year.

Choosing the best space for you involves consideration of two things, namely deciding the right location and figuring out the most suitable size. 

Kennards Self Storage has many storage centres throughout the North Island close to Tertiary Institutions and International Schools. Either search for “Kennards storage units near me” or find a complete list of centres on our website to find the one nearest to where you live and study during term time. 

Next, estimate your ideal storage unit size (which you can then use as a guide when comparing the spaces that are available at the time of booking).

For Undergraduate or International Students, with just the contents of a hostel room (mainly personal effects, study materials and winter clothes) a locker may suit.

For University and Tertiary Students who live in a shared flat, you may require a larger storage space to accommodate more items. Contents may perhaps include a bed, mattress, a dresser, a desk, chair, perhaps even some kitchen items, in which case one of our smaller size storage units may be more suitable.

However, a word to the wise - there is often increased demand and competition for our compact spaces over the holiday period so it may be worth reserving one early to avoid disappointment.

If you also need moving boxes you can visit the Kennards Box Shop either in store or online for all your moving and packing needs..  

Reserving a space is easy - just jump onto the website to check what’s available at your chosen storage centre, and then follow the steps to book or pop into your nearest Kennards Storage.
