Why Locals Choose AKM for Personal Storage
We've been storing Hunter Valley households for 18+ years, and in that time one thing hasn't changed: you'll always speak to a real person who knows the facility, not a call centre reading from a script. AKM is family-run, based right here in Kurri Kurri, and we treat every enquiry the way we'd want ours treated, whether you're storing a few boxes for a month or furnishing a whole house for a year.
Personal Storage in Kurri Kurri, Run by People Who Get It
Moving house, downsizing, renovating or just running out of room at home, AKM Self Storage gives Hunter Valley locals a clean, secure place to store their belongings, without the runaround of a big chain.
Whatever you're storing, call Kathryn and the team on 0420 539 468 and we'll match you to the right unit.
What You Get
Units from 2m x 3m to 6m x 3m, so you only pay for the space you actually need, whether that's the contents of a spare room or a full four-bedroom house. Every unit is secure and monitored 24/7, so what you store stays exactly as you left it. Undercover loading zones, trolleys and lifts take the physical strain out of moving day, rain or shine. Hire terms are flexible, from a few H2: weeks to several years, with no rigid contract locking you in longer than you need.
Common Reasons Locals Store With Us
Moving between homes and needing somewhere for belongings in the gap. Downsizing and not ready to part with everything at once. Renovating and needing furniture and boxes out of the way. Decluttering the garage, shed or spare room. Storing sentimental items, family furniture or a deceased estate while things get sorted.

AKM Self Storage Facility Features
Our Kurri Kurri self storage facility was purpose-built for the job, with 24/7 monitoring and individually alarmed units protecting everything stored with us. We're a family-run business, so Kathryn and the team look after security personally rather than leaving it to cameras alone, and we're proud members of the Self Storage Association of Australasia (SSAA).
On the ground, that looks like:
CCTV monitoring and individually alarmed units across the whole site, watched around the clock, every day
High-security locks on every unit door, on top of the monitoring and alarms
Undercover loading zones, so you're never packing a trailer in the rain
Trolleys and lifts on hand, so moving boxes and furniture doesn't need extra gear of your own
Boxes, tape and bubble wrap for sale onsite, with real packing advice from our team
Units run from 2m x 3m up to 6m x 3m, all clean and ready when you arrive, so you're paying for the space you actually need rather than a size that doesn't fit the job.
Kathryn was so understanding about us not knowing what time we’d arrive and she was really welcoming when we did arrive. She showed us our storage unit and explained the process in detail, and went through all the paperwork thoroughly with me. The whole facility was clean and tidy, and the units well maintained. Trolleys and lift were provided as well. Highly recommend.
Kathryn was so great with my mum. She turned a terrible ordeal into a great outcome. I cant thank her enough. She was professional understanding and empathetic. Her customer service was nothing but outstanding. Thank you Kathryn. My mum slept peacefully last night. 😊
Professional and friendly service, no stress, easy process, clean and secure facility thankyou will definitely recommend and use again in future.
It's so nice to deal with the actual owners and not go through a call centre. Aaron and Kathryn have been so easy and friendly to deal with and they helped us sort out our storage requirements with a better and cheaper arrangement than other storage firms offered. So glad we found them.

How long can I hire a unit for?
As short or long as you need, from a few weeks up to several years.
Is my stuff safe?
Units are secure and monitored 24/7 at our purpose-built Kurri Kurri facility.
Do I need to bring my own trolley?
No, trolleys and lifts are available onsite to help with loading and unloading.
