Commonwealth Vault Back to Hargreaves Street

Christmas & New Year · Hargreaves Street, Auckland

Enjoy the holiday. Leave the worry behind.

At the beach, visiting family or overseas? Before you leave an empty house, decide where the things you could never replace will stay.

Book a viewing

See the vault. Meet the team. Find the right box before you go.

The safe deposit room at Hargreaves Street: a long wall of brushed-steel boxes under ceiling lights.

The things you would grab first.

The watch your father wore every day. Your wedding rings and the necklace you only bring out for family occasions. Cultural and wedding jewellery passed between generations. Passports, property papers and the documents that take months to replace.

What they mean to you goes well beyond any price. Over the holidays, a box at Hargreaves Street gives those things a settled place while you are away.

Holiday storage is for jewellery, watches and documents. It is not offered for cash, bullion or crypto seed phrases.

The house is locked. But is that enough while you're away?

Locks, alarms and a good neighbour all help. A home safe can be a sensible part of that, but it stays in the empty house with everything else. If you are weighing up your own arrangements, the team is happy to talk through how a vault box compares for what you plan to keep.

Check your own contents policy before you travel, including any conditions for an unoccupied home. Storage does not automatically include contents insurance.

Come and see what reassurance feels like.

A viewing is a chance to look around and ask questions. It is not a booking for storage, a payment or an identity check.
