Removalists Cabarita.
The inner west's best-kept secret. A riverside suburb that rewards finding it.
Cabarita sits on the Parramatta River between Cabarita Point and Harmony Point, 13 kilometres west of the CBD in the City of Canada Bay. Its name may derive from an Aboriginal word meaning by the water - which is as accurate a description of the suburb as any that has followed. Cabarita Park at the northern tip is a heritage reserve with a beach, playgrounds, picnic areas, and the Federation Pavilion, which was constructed in Centennial Park as the focal point of Federation of Australia on 1 January 1901 and relocated to Cabarita. The Cabarita Swimming Centre offers heated saltwater pools overlooking the river. The Cabarita Wharf ferry service - opened in 2000 as part of the upgrade for the Sydney Olympic Games - connects residents to Circular Quay in 30 to 40 minutes by River Cat.
With a population of 1,933 and a median age of 50, Cabarita is one of the Canada Bay area's smaller and more settled suburbs. The housing stock is predominantly generous Federation-era and mid-century homes on the Cabarita peninsula, with a village-like atmosphere that its residents protect with the same quiet determination as their Longueville and Northwood counterparts across the river. The suburb has been described as the City of Canada Bay's undiscovered secret, a description that most of the people who live here are content to leave unchallenged.
The foreshore along Cabarita Park is the suburb's defining public space - manicured lawns, stunning river views, and the Federation Pavilion as the historical anchor. The streets running back from the foreshore are quiet and residential with the established trees and good blocks that the Canada Bay area consistently delivers.

Cabarita's river peninsula geography means one road in and one road out - Cabarita Road carries everything that comes and goes. The Federation and mid-century homes sit on well-proportioned blocks with good driveway access, and the residential streets are quiet enough that truck positioning is rarely a problem. Billy and Jet cover the Concord and Drummoyne peninsula corridor regularly and know the Cabarita access environment well.

Cabarita Wharf at the northern tip of the suburb within Cabarita Park gives the suburb its ferry connection and its weekend visitor flow. The park draws residents and visitors from across Canada Bay and the surrounding suburbs, particularly on good weather weekends. For any Cabarita move near the park and wharf end of the suburb, the loading position and start time are planned to be in place before the park crowd arrives. A weekend morning start before 8am in Cabarita almost always beats the problem.
The established homes in Cabarita - the Federation-era properties and the well-maintained mid-century homes that make up the majority of the suburb's housing - have the original features that require care. Original hardwood floors, period detailing, and the kind of homes where a mark on the wall is noticed because the owner notices everything. Billy walks these properties during quoting and plans the sequence before the truck arrives outside.
The road access to Cabarita from the Canada Bay corridor runs through Concord Road and the Cabarita Road connection to Parramatta Road. The approach route for any Cabarita move is planned around the Parramatta Road intersection timing - peak hour on Parramatta Road creates the main bottleneck and the approach route for both truck arrival and departure is planned around it. Once in the suburb, the streets are quiet and the access to most Cabarita properties is straightforward.

"Our Cabarita home is close to the park and the wharf gets busy on weekends. Billy had the loading sorted before the park filled and we were well into the move before anyone was even looking for parking. Exactly right."- Christine L., Cabarita riverside home move

Two locals, not a call centre.
When you book a Cabarita move, Billy or Jet runs it personally - not a call centre handing you off to whoever's free. They know Cabarita Park and the river foreshore well enough to plan the truck position and the day before it starts, not figure it out on the morning. On bigger jobs they bring in their own trusted, experienced team, but Billy or Jet is always on site - sometimes both of them. Either way, there's always a named person from The Movers Company accountable for your move. Every item is wrapped and carried properly, and your home - doorframes, walls, floors, at both ends - is protected the whole way through. Fully insured by QBE. No deposit, no cancellation fees.
