Managing Tamaki Drive Traffic and Hillside Access on Moving Day
Moving in Kohimarama involves the kind of access challenges that are easy to overlook until the truck is outside. Tamaki Drive runs along the waterfront and is one of Auckland’s busiest recreational roads, particularly on weekends, which can affect both parking availability and the time it takes to get a truck positioned near properties with foreshore access. The roads that climb up from Tamaki Drive into the residential streets above can be narrow with limited passing space, which requires careful planning around truck size and route selection.
The housing stock in Kohimarama adds further variability to the planning. Older villas and bungalows on the streets above the waterfront are common, and these properties often have steep driveways and split-level layouts. Newer apartment and townhouse developments closer to the beach come with body corporate requirements, loading zone access rules, and elevator logistics that need to be confirmed before the move begins.
Burly Boys Moving coordinates those details as a standard part of every job in Kohimarama. We confirm the access conditions at both addresses, identify any building or street-level restrictions, and plan the move around those specifics so the day runs to schedule.

Moving Within the Eastern Bays Strip Between Mission Bay and St Heliers
Kohimarama sits on Tamaki Drive between Mission Bay to the west and St Heliers to the east, forming part of the Eastern Bays coastal strip that runs along the southern edge of the Waitemata Harbour. The suburb is largely residential above the waterfront road, with streets climbing up the hill from Kohimarama beach through a mix of older and newer housing.
The beach and foreshore reserve are the defining features of the suburb’s public face, drawing significant foot traffic along Tamaki Drive throughout the year. Residential life in Kohimarama takes place largely on the streets above, where the neighbourhood is quieter and more settled than the busy road along the water suggests.
Moves between Kohimarama and neighbouring suburbs including Mission Bay, St Heliers, Orakei, and Meadowbank are a regular part of our work in this part of Auckland. The Eastern Bays corridor is a connected community and relocations within it are common, particularly for families who want to stay in the area while changing property size or type.

About Kohimarama
Kohimarama is a coastal suburb on Auckland’s Eastern Bays, sitting along Tamaki Drive between Mission Bay to the west and St Heliers to the east. The suburb is known for its beach, the calm water of the sheltered bay, and a residential character that combines waterfront proximity with quiet hillside streets above the main road.
The housing in Kohimarama covers a range of types and ages. Older villas and bungalows are common in the streets that rise from Tamaki Drive up through the residential area, many sitting on sloped sections with established gardens. Closer to the beach and along the main road, newer apartment developments and townhouses have been built to take advantage of the coastal location, bringing higher-density living to what is otherwise a predominantly low-to-medium density suburb.
Tamaki Drive is both an asset and a logistical consideration for the suburb. It provides direct road access along the waterfront to Mission Bay, Orakei, and eventually the CBD, making Kohimarama well connected despite its position on the eastern edge of the inner suburbs. At the same time, the road carries significant recreational traffic, particularly on weekends and during good weather, which can affect access timing for deliveries and moves.
The suburb is close to St Heliers village and the broader Eastern Bays community, with most day-to-day services within easy reach. The beach and foreshore path are popular with residents and visitors year-round, contributing to the active outdoor character that the Eastern Bays is known for.
Moving in and out of Kohimarama requires familiarity with the access conditions specific to the waterfront and hillside residential streets, as well as an understanding of traffic patterns on Tamaki Drive at different times of day.
