Moving in Castlecrag
What Castlecrag actually involves.
Castlecrag 2068 is a peninsula sticking into Middle Harbour, in Willoughby Council. It was planned by Walter Burley Griffin (the Canberra architect) in the 1920s, and much of the layout preserves his winding, natural-topography street grid. The housing is a mix of Griffin-era stone-and-timber homes, mid-century brick family homes and larger contemporary rebuilds.
The winding streets — Edinburgh Road, The Battlement, The Bulwark, Sortie Point — are picturesque but narrow, and often follow contour lines around the hillsides. Truck access is fine with a mid-size pantech; we match the truck to the street.
A meaningful chunk of Castlecrag homes have harbour or reserve views and driveways that drop toward the water. Send us a driveway photo on the quote call for steeper drives.

Representative move
A typical Castlecrag move.
4-bed house · off Edinburgh Road · 7 hours · $2,100 + GST
A common Castlecrag job: a large 4-bedroom house on a bushland block off Edinburgh Road, one of the Griffin-designed homes with stepped stone paths and no easy driveway to the door.
Four movers and a big truck, seven hours — 7 × $300 = $2,100 + GST. The long stepped access is the whole job here; the bigger crew keeps the carries moving and the day to one trip.
Pattern: for the bushland homes around Castlecrag, four movers and the big truck is often the right call. We size the crew off the stone paths and the slope as much as the room count.
