I have engaged Swan Taroa Transport on several occasions to help with moving office/commercial items as well as house moves. Mel and Jerome have been amazing to work with. They have been very reasonable with pricing, very good at communicating and excellent in coordinating. I highly recommend them to anyone need similar services in the Canterbury or wider area.
