We can't praise this place and in particular the staff enough, they were helpful, cheerful, thoughtful and efficient in all our dealings with them. We have used this location for over 20 years and have had nothing but good experiences with them. In the last few months we have had to move our storage unit as we needed a bigger one and Don was a legend. He was thoughtful about the units he suggested to us, took the time to listen to what we needed and how we could achieve that within our budget. With every visit he was welcoming, cheerful and answered every question we had. He made sure to highlight anything that would make our job of moving easier. We never felt pressured or taken advantage of in our dealings which is a big reason we stay with this location. As we don't live nearby we could have gone to any of the locations but we stick with this one because we have had only good interactions. Glowing praise, but 100% honest - we would recommend Don and North Melbourne Kennards to anyone! Thanks Don & Kennards

  • Torin Wolfskers (Slawed)

In the midst of the current rental crisis, and as a newcomer to the city, I was feeling overwhelmed and pressured. However, Don at Kennards Self Storage provided me with an unparalleled sense of relief. His vast knowledge, helpful recommendations, and clear communication were instrumental in easing my concerns. Don went above and beyond to reassure me that everything would be okay and that my belongings were in safe hands. I can honestly say that this is the most well-maintained storage unit I've ever encountered. It's evident that Don takes immense pride in his work and truly cares about his customers. The other glowing reviews don't lie; Don is an invaluable asset to Kennards Self Storage. His unwavering commitment to customer service and his genuine ability to connect with people make him a standout employee. I highly recommend Kennards Self Storage, and if you have the opportunity, make sure to ask for Don—you won't be disappointed!

The thing that sums this place up is good old fashioned customer service. To a level that’s surprisingly rare. They were there to provide a service, and get paid for it. They weren’t, like so many businesses, trying to extract every dollar out of me. In fact, they were trying to save me money. They were flexible with how much space I rented, so that I didn’t have to get the larger storage unless I needed it on the day. They were flexible with dates - I cancelled on the date I was moving out and got a full refund for the days not used. They are friendly, helpful, provide refunds on unused boxes, and buy back used boxes. I would heartily recommend Kennards North Melbourne to anyone who wants a hassle-free experience.

  • Jay Xie

Kennards self storage North Melbourne is a great addition to our business. It is very close to a Melbourne CBD, so that location provides great flexibility for us to run the business in there. The storage facility is well established and moving tools are well prepared, and things there are just very thoughtful for storage needs. The contract also gives us a lot flexibility with the days and dates. All processes are very easy to conduct and stress free. Very friendly staff and manager, especially Don who always pay attention on our needs. Will definitely choose this service whenever we needed it again. Thanks, Jay

I can highly recommend Kennards North Melbourne.. I've been storing there for over a year.... Unfortunately I had some issues in the past few months and it impacted me by not being able to keep up with my payments...this meant that the contence of my unit was at sever risk of being sold and due to the amount of days I was overdue . Fortunaly and thanks to both DON and SUE for the compassion and understanding my situation.. I was able to save my belongings from getting sold.. Great location and extremely helpful and friendly staff... Thankyou from the bottom of my heart Kennards North Melbourne.. Regards Wade

  • Tinah Leong

My daughter and I were looking for a storage space so we paid a visit and met Don . He explained the procedure to us and advised on the size . We gave a call a few days later and he invited us to come by and have a look at the spaces . Diane took us to look at the various sizes available and she was truly wonderful and friendly . She didn't rush and we were able to choose a unit. Its our our first time at this but we are so happy to have met them both and feel very assured that we are in good hands.

  • AM i SOLD

Have been using the North Melbourne facility since 2017 for our multiple businesses. Amazing place for secure storage, great location, waking distance from the free tram zone. The staff is great, Suzanne has been our company’s best point of contact so many areas. Please relay our regards and thanks to Suzanne, for her proactive communication and help. Sh is the best. It is this time, when we are vacating but surely will come back to Kennards down the track. Kind regards, Garvit

  • Ian Woodruff

GREAT SERVICE, GOOD RANGE OF STORAGE OPTIONS Kennards is a well-known provider of storage across Melbourne and all the outlets I've used have had good service. this one in Capel St North Melbourne (right next to Queen Vic Market) continues that trend with friendly faces and a well maintained shop. People with mobility issues will be fine accessing the office at the fron tof the outlet. Parking on the street canm be pretty ferocious on days that the market is open.

  • Karina Wilson

Don you legend! Don went extremely out of his way to help me in an urgent situation with a large couch that wouldn't fit in my home. At the last minute he managed to store it for me and even stayed back to ensure it was stored safe. Honestly your help this week has saved me. I now know which storage place to use next year when I go away for 3 months. I cannot recommend North Melbourne enough! Thanks again Don.

  • Alice Watson

My husband and I purchased supplies from the manager Don today and have nothing but positive things to say about the experience. We entered not being entirely sure what we needed to pack for an overseas move but with Don's assistance we left with all the things we needed. Don also made us aware of good quality second hand boxes available for purchus and the standard saving on buying 10 boxes at a time.

  • Kevin Habanero

Staff here have always been exceptionally friendly and helpful. Today Don the new Manager kindly offered to carry some of my goods out to my car as I am currently struggling on crutches. He is a great asset to your Company. I cannot speak highly enough of the experience and service which I have had from Kennards over the years, in particular the North Melbourne facility. ThankYou.

  • Mai K Lam

Have used the locker here for a while and recently switched to the larger closet. The sign up process as new customer or switching between storage size has been very smooth and promptly done. Manager is very helpful and friendly and gave detailed instructions on access. Also delivered my parcels here a couple of times and received promptly sms notification when my package arrived.

  • Laine Chloe

Incredible service. I went to close my storage unit as I’m moving interstate and they didn’t need notice and even refunded me the days I had already paid for. The manager was fantastic ( I believe he said he was new) and really helped me work out what packaging equipment I needed, such a brilliant experience! When I need storage again I will definitely go with Kennards

  • Cateriná-Valentína Dargan Mammone

I was with Kennards NM for almost two years and they treated me like family! Suzanne will always give you a warm welcome whenever you pop in and is more than helpful. Honestly I’m sad to be leaving just because I miss out on all the lovely phone calls and visits to Suzanne. Her customer service is absolutely unmatched. Big Aunty energy. Miss you girlfriend. - Katrina

  • Carlin Plumb

I was greeted with enthusiasm and kindness by Don, who was serving me. Genuinely interested in making sure I had the right boxes for my move, he was engaging and easy to talk to. He even helped walk my boxes to my car. You don’t often get this level of genuine service. Hats off to them for putting in the effort, it goes a long way. Couldn’t recommend higher.

  • Justine Sargent

We highly recommend Kennards Storage North Melbourne. What began as a six month stint ended in 3 years through covid and beyond. We felt 100% confident that all of our new furniture, mattress and white goods were safe from dust and moisture and in secure hands. Don and the team at North Melbourne Kennards were always very helpful and professional!

  • Sharon Blance

Went to Kennards looking for a large box for a random craft project - the guy there (Don I think his name was) was super friendly and helpful, helped me find the right box size for what I wanted, and let me know about some other paper roll products they sell that can be used in craft applications. Great old-school friendly customer service.

  • Emre Akca

I don't know what to say to the branch here. I tried to return the purchases I made during the quarantine with this company. However, they lost my two different return packages. It's not a joke. Because of this company, I couldn't get one refund even though it was 45-50 days and the other 40 days. I definitely don't plan to work again.

  • Nancy Hoetker

Called and got a very helpful explanation about purchasing new and used boxes, including returning unused boxes and selling back used ones. Placed a click-and-collect order online and received a prompt phone call when my order was ready. They were very helpful in loading my car when I picked up. Happy to give them my business again!

  • Erica

Helpful and nice staff, I love the fact you can pay in advance than be refunded for what you don’t use! Affordable prices in all ranges of sizes obviously taken care of and kept clean which i always have a standard of in my storage places. Just a good business :) support locals. Will definitely use in the future if needed

  • Himesh Weerawardane

The Manager - Donald Smith, attended to me and provided me with a very quick service and a very friendly one on top of that. He also informed me about other similar services they provide, which I found very helpful and relevant. Would most definelty recommend it for any parcel collect locations to those in need of one.

  • Anuki Gunawardene

Great customer service from the first inquiry to moving in! Flexibility in accommodating changes to the booking is fantastic. Storage is easily accessible within minutes from the CBD. I highly recommend Kennards for your self storage needs. Adam and the front office staff are super friendly and helpful! Thank you Adam!

  • Maya Bose

There is a reason this storage facility has such amazing reviews. Don was extremely helpful and clear about all the facilities that they offered and how exactly they worked. The facilities were well maintained and good security procedures were in place to ensure safety and loss prevention. Really highly recommend.

  • Tiffanie Nguyen

Had a great experience with Don the manager, he was extremely helpful with letting us know about moving supplies, prices, and thoroughly explained Kennards box buy back/second hand box program. Will definitely be coming back very soon to visit Don and buy more supplies! We will be referring people here too :)

  • Angelique Biram

  • Jimi Dean

Staff on site were very friendly and incredibly helpful. I had gone in to purchase some boxes and tape, they suggested I consider 2nd hand boxes that were available and ended up saving me both money and hassle. It would be rude of me not to mention the lovely singing I heard at the desk also.

  • Seshu P

I purchased my archival boxes and a few other essentials online at Kennards, North Melbourne. The friendly staff, particularly Dom, Adam and Susanne, were extremely helpful with loading them in my car and suggesting a couple of other essentials. Great customer sevice especially with a smile!

  • Jason Parker

Dropped off items here using ParcelPoint for the first time and the manager Dom was fantastic, both helpful and patient. He helped make the process smooth and he was easy to talk with. Based on the customer experience alone I'll be coming here in the future should I need boxes or storage.

  • Bhanuka Bandara
