Self storage in Australia began with a modest experiment when Neville Kennard developed about 100 storage units in 1973.
Inspired by the discovery of self storage on a business trip to California, he returned to Sydney with the ambition to give it a go, and proceeded with plans then works for a storage centre.
This toe-in-the-water development was at the rear of a Kennards Hire yard in Moorebank, NSW.
Kennards Self Storage has come a long way in 50 years. From 1973, one modest project with about 100 spaces to 2023 with 77,000 spaces from 101 operating locations, and a development plan to add another 10 locations within the next 12 months. Now at 50 years we are proud of this milestone, of the business journey and remaining an Australian family-owned and operated company.

Our climate-controlled wine cellar units have become so popular that following on from the recent Mt Eden cellar expansion, we now have wine storage at our Wairau Valley centre.
Your wine is valuable and treasured aspect too important to risk being ruined by poor storage. Kennards Wine Storage provides the ideal environment for long term storage to help it mature to its full potential.
