Removalists Terrey Hills.
Named after two of its original landholders. National parks on three sides. Horses in paddocks 30 kilometres from the CBD. The Northern Beaches at its most rural.
Terrey Hills is named after two of its original European landholders - a Mr Terrey and a Mr Hills - and it has retained a connection to that rural history that no other Northern Beaches suburb can match. The suburb sits at the junction of three national parks: Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to the north, Garigal National Park to the east, and the Belrose and Oxford Falls bushland to the south and west. Properties of an acre or more are the standard rather than the exception. Horses graze in paddocks on Boondah Road within 30 kilometres of the Sydney CBD. It is a genuinely unique environment in a city that has otherwise converted every semi-rural pocket into standard residential development.
The 3,142 residents of Terrey Hills live across a suburb where 15 parks cover more than 36 percent of the total area. The Terrey Hills Village shopping strip on Booralie Road provides everyday needs - a small cluster of local shops and services - while Belrose a few minutes to the south has the larger supermarkets, and Westfield Warringah Mall is 20 minutes further. The suburb has two golf courses and equestrian facilities, and the riding trails along the national park boundaries make it a specific draw for buyers who want a serious outdoor lifestyle within reach of the city rather than a beach lifestyle. It is a suburb that self-selects for people who know exactly what they want.
Terrey Hills has no railway station and bus services are limited, making the suburb entirely car-dependent. Mona Vale Road to the east is the main arterial connection toward the Northern Beaches, and Forest Way to the south connects toward Frenchs Forest and the broader road network. The suburb's international cricket connection is unexpected: Terrey Hills is home to the Kevin Sheedy Oval, and the suburb has produced multiple first-grade cricketers. It is also the home of Fire and Rescue NSW's Special Operations team. The suburb has a genuine community-oriented character despite - or perhaps because of - its relative remoteness from the rest of the Northern Beaches.
Terrey Hills is entirely car-dependent - no station, limited buses, and Mona Vale Road as the main route in and out. The suburban streets are quiet and the homes sit on generous blocks with the kind of access that rewards a crew that knows the area is further from the city than it feels. Billy covers the upper Northern Beaches hinterland regularly and factors the drive time honestly into every quote.
Acreage access, long driveways, and why every Terrey Hills quote starts with a site visit
Moving in or out of a Terrey Hills acreage property is a different job from any standard suburban move. The house itself may be set 150 to 300 metres or more from the road, accessible via a private driveway that may be unsealed, gated, or narrow in sections. The volume of a move involves not just the house rooms but the outbuildings - sheds, workshops, tack rooms, and in some cases stables - that are a standard part of acreage life here. A standard bedroom count is not a useful basis for quoting a Terrey Hills acreage move, and Billy does not attempt one. He visits the property before confirming any significant Terrey Hills acreage quote.
Booralie Road is the main access road through Terrey Hills from south to north, connecting to Mona Vale Road at the eastern end of the suburb. Forest Way approaches from the south toward the Belrose end. For the properties on the eastern side of the suburb near the Garigal National Park boundary, the roads narrow and in some cases are private roads with specific access arrangements. Billy confirms road access and gate arrangements for any Terrey Hills property in the outer sections of the suburb before the day.
The national park roads - particularly the Ku-ring-gai Chase section to the north - mean some addresses in the northern parts of the suburb are accessible only via specific routes that are not obvious from a map. For moves involving properties close to the park boundary, Billy plans the truck approach to avoid sections where the road narrows beyond what a loaded truck can manage safely. This is assessed before booking is confirmed rather than on the day.

Common questions about moving in Terrey Hills
Yes - for any significant Terrey Hills acreage property, Billy visits before quoting. A phone quote on an acreage property is not an honest quote. Driveway access, carry distances, and full volume across all structures - house, sheds, workshops, stables - needs to be assessed in person.
It depends entirely on the volume. A substantial acreage property with outbuildings is typically a full-day job or longer. The site visit before quoting gives both sides a realistic expectation of what the day involves before a booking is confirmed.
We charge by the hour. Acreage moves with long driveways and multiple outbuildings take significantly longer than standard suburban moves. Billy visits before quoting to give an honest estimate.
Yes - same crew the whole way, no handoffs. Terrey Hills' proximity to Mona Vale Road and the Northern Beaches motorway connections makes it a practical starting point. Get in touch for an interstate quote.

Two locals, not a call centre.
When you book a Terrey Hills move, Billy or Jet runs it personally - not a call centre handing you off to whoever's free. They know an in-person assessment before quoting on Terrey Hills acreage properties 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.
