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.

Vehicle Storage in Tauranga

The Tauranga facility can accommodate vehicles, boats and trailers in appropriately sized units — a popular choice for Bay of Plenty residents who need secure, covered, off-site storage rather than leaving a vehicle or boat on the driveway or street.

Frequently Asked Questions — Self Storage in Tauranga


Is Safe Store Tauranga the same site as Storage King Tauranga?

Yes. Safe Store took over management of the established Tauranga (Poike) facility from Storage King. The physical site is the same — same location, same units — now operating under the Safe Store brand and management.


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. This is not 24-hour access, but the extended hours cover most practical needs including early-morning tradesperson runs and after-work visits. If your access requirements fall outside these hours, contact the team on 0800 747 233 to discuss your situation.


What are the cheapest storage units in Tauranga?

The most affordable options at Safe Store Tauranga are the small lockers and compact units – typically suitable for boxes, files, seasonal gear, or the contents of a single room. Monthly pricing is competitive and there is no long-term contract required. For current live pricing on all unit sizes, visit the Tauranga self storage pricing page to see what’s available right now.


How does billing work — weekly or monthly?

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.


Can I store a vehicle or boat at Safe Store Tauranga?

Yes. The Tauranga Poike facility has extra-large and garage-style units that can accommodate boats, and other vehicles. Availability of these larger units varies — contact the team on 0800 747 233 or check online to confirm current availability before planning your move-in.


Is Safe Store New Zealand owned?

Yes. Safe Store is 100% New Zealand owned and has been operating for more than 30 years. Unlike some larger storage brands operating in New Zealand, Safe Store is a local business — not a foreign-owned franchise — with facilities in Tauranga, Auckland (Pakuranga, Papatoetoe, and Westgate).
