Wine Cellars – Value And Peace Of Mind

August 14, 2024 by Andrew Kirkham

Most self storage centres operate with a variety of storage unit sizes, however it is now becoming more common for new purpose-built centres to also include wine cellars in the mix, something that Kennards Storage has incorporated in three of their sites in New Zealand – both Mt Eden and Wairau Park in Auckland and also their Thorndon site in Wellington.

Wine storage in itself needs a steady constant environment, Kennards Wine Cellars have been designed and built to provide the ideal conditions to cellar your wine within an optimal temperature and humidity range. They provide peace of mind with 24/7 PIN Code access, individually alarmed cellars and of course like all self storage units, you hold the keys to the unit.

Now just because wine cellar units are bespoke, that does not mean they are expensive to rent, in fact they are very affordable and considered cheap value regardless of how much or little you need to store. Rental is just one month in advance, and should the time come to end your cellaring – Kennards will ensure a pro rate refund on any unused rent back on day of move out.

Talking of value – with the introduction of wine cellar units at the Wairau Valley site, the opportunity to secure “cheap value “pricing for wine unit sizes up to the 100 cases range is now available. The savvy wine storer should take advantage of this excellent value pricing while it lasts. Currently at today’s date the pricing is:

Wairau Valley:
24 Case - $ 64.00, 36 Case - $ 88.00, 48 Case - $ 109.00, 72 Case - $ 150, 95 Case - $ 190.00 (All prices monthly include GST – no other costs involved).

Mt Eden:
12 Case - $ 93.00 24 Case - $ 109.00, 48 Case - $ 179.00, 72 Case - $ 243, 95 Case - $ 290.00 (All prices monthly include GST – no other costs involved).

Feel free to contact the team who would love to show you around the wine cellars and the storage centre at any time. The office is open 7 days a week, and the team can provide you with everything you need for when you are ready to store and enjoy. Do not forget to ask about use of our conference room facilities, complimentary Wifi and Tea/Coffee facilities so you can enjoy your time at the centre, Kennards believe their centres are not just a building to store things in, it is a destination to use and enjoy!
