Safe Store has come to Tauranga
Safe Store’s Tauranga facility at Poike is fully open and welcoming new customers right now. Previously operating as Storage King Tauranga, this well-established Bay of Plenty site has joined the Safe Store network — 100% New Zealand owned and operated for more than 30 years. Whether you need a small locker, household storage during a move, business stock space, or vehicle storage in Tauranga, you’ll find flexible monthly leases, competitive pricing, and friendly on-site service. Customer access runs 6 am to 9 pm, seven days a week.
About Safe Store Tauranga (Poike) — Formerly Storage King Tauranga
This is the same physical site that served Tauranga as Storage King for over 20 years – same location, same units, same easy access off State Highway 2. The facility is now managed by Safe Store, a proudly New Zealand-owned business rather than a corporate franchise, with local staff who answer the phone and know the site personally.
Safe Store operates four facilities across New Zealand: Tauranga (Poike), Pakuranga in East Auckland, Papatoetoe in South Auckland, and Westgate in West Auckland. Each site shares the same commitment to straightforward pricing, reliable security, and great customer service.

Does Safe Store Tauranga offer 24-hour access self storage?
Customer access at Tauranga Poike is available from 6 am to 9 pm, seven days a week.

What are the cheapest storage units in Tauranga?

Safe Store Tauranga bills on a monthly basis. There is no long-term lease — you rent month to month and can give notice when you no longer need the space. 14 days notice is required before moving out. First payment and photo ID are required at sign-up.
What size storage unit do I need for a house move in Tauranga?
As a rough guide: a 1–2 bedroom home typically fits in a small to medium unit (3–10 m²); a 3–4 bedroom home generally requires a large unit (15–20 m²); and if you’re storing vehicles, a boat, or extensive furniture alongside household contents, an extra-large or garage unit (25–30 m²) is usually the right choice. The Safe Store unit sizes guide has a more detailed breakdown with practical checklists.
