Get the Storage Space You Need to Live the Life You Want
Over the last couple of years, the COVID-19 pandemic has had many wide ranging – and often unexpected – impacts. Here in Western Australia, one of the biggest has been the restrictions on movement beyond our state’s borders. This has seen many people shelve their international holiday plans, opting for more local trips instead.
Thankfully, there’s no shortage of sights to see and places to explore within the borders of our beautiful state. However, to get the full experience, there are a few toys you’ll need to take on tour with you. And buying these can create another big issue – what do you do with them when you return home?
This is where secure storage can really help. A Perth storage unit is the perfect place to keep all your travel gear between trips. It can also help free up much-needed space at home and even make prepping for your next adventure easier.
Here we look at a few of the travel opportunities available to you when you have secure storage in Perth. We go over the gear you can keep in a storage unit and explore the self storage options available. We also share our suggestions for some of the best experiences you can have in and around Perth.
Plan an extended caravan trip
More and more, people are packing up the family and taking off on the ultimate road trip. From school holiday getaways to months-long expeditions, caravanning has become the hot trend for family breaks. And it’s easy to see why…
There’s a lot of freedom in knowing you can take off to wherever you want, whenever you want. This means that, at any time, you can head off to explore a new area or revisit an old favourite. You can choose to hit a tourist hotspot or important historical site, or head off the beaten track. And, as you have your accommodation in tow, where you stop is really up to you.
If you’re keen to join this movement, having secure storage in Perth can give you all-important peace of mind.
When you’re out on the road, secure storage gives you somewhere to keep your treasured household items safe. This is particularly valuable when you’re on an extended trip, opening up options for how you use your home base. For example, it’s easier to rent your property to holidaymakers when you know your prized possessions are safe in a storage unit.
Then, when you return, your caravan can be safely and securely stowed until you’re ready for your next trip. Most self storage in Perth is fully enclosed, meaning your home on wheels will be kept safe from the elements. And keeping it in a secure storage facility means there will always be someone watching over it for you.
Take the boat out to Rottnest Island or up to Jurien Bay
Perth is an absolute playground for avid boating enthusiasts, with many major attractions located within easy day tripping distance. Best of all, you won’t need a massive vessel or crew of 12 to get there.
For example, the iconic Rottnest Island sits just off the coast of Freo and offers plenty to do and see. There are the crystal clear waters and stunning coral reefs offshore and unique wildlife and ample walking trails onshore. And it should take your average 5m runabout only about 40 minutes to get there.
Alternatively, you could hitch the boat to the car and take off up to Jurien Bay, which is just over 250km from the city. Here you’ll find ramps that are equal to anything in the metropolitan area and plenty of fishing, diving, and snorkelling opportunities. The unique local landscape and abundant wildlife are also sure to impress.
The main problem most boat owners face is what to do with their craft once they return to shore. Marina berths are notoriously expensive and not really suitable for your average smaller vessel. And as much as you may love your boat, leaving it in your driveway is probably not particularly practical.
However, when you have your own secure storage in Perth, this isn’t a problem. You can basically head straight from the water to your storage unit to drop off your boat. You can then go about your life, knowing it’ll be waiting there for you, just as you left it, next time you want to head out.
Other options for getting out and about
The travel options in and around Perth are almost endless for those that have the right equipment. Here’s just a couple of our favourites:
- Jumping on the bike and heading down to Port Augusta: We might be biased, but WA’s South West has to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. It truly has it all – breathtaking coastline, stunning national parks, and some of the country’s best wineries. And there’s no better way to see it than onboard your very own motorcycle. In fact, Perth to Port Augusta, via Caves Rd, is widely considered one of the state’s best motorcycle routes.
- Making your way North to Broome: We simply cannot get enough of our state’s coastline and the trip up to Broome includes some real highlights. From the beautiful beaches of Geraldton to the world-renowned Ningaloo Reef, there’s no shortage of sights to see along the way. And, when you have the right camping gear, you choose where to stop and spend the night.
There’s so much going on in this unique part of the world and we encourage you to get amongst it. And don’t get hung up on where you’ll keep your travel gear between trips – that’s exactly what secure storage is for! Whether you need space for your caravan, boat, motorcycle, camping gear, or any other equipment, there’s sure to be a storage unit to suit.
