Around North Haven 5018

North Haven is near the northern tip of the Lefevre Peninsula, roughly 18 to 20 km north-west of the Adelaide city centre, and belongs to the City of Port Adelaide Enfield. Gulf St Vincent forms its western edge, Marmora Terrace its southern edge, and Victoria Road runs along its north-eastern side.

The suburb grew out of a housing and marina development that started in the 1970s, on land that had mostly been sand dunes. On the coast you'll find the Gulf Point Marina, lined with houses and sheltered by two breakwaters, along with the Cruising Yacht Club of South Australia and a surf life saving club. Inland, there's a shopping centre on Osborne Road and a retirement village on Military Road.

We pick up right across 5018, including the streets near North Haven station on Merle Marin Drive, one stop before the Outer Harbor terminus. That covers the marina side, the blocks off Lady Gowrie Drive and Osborne Road, and homes close to the golf course and the passenger terminal at Outer Harbor.

About 5,600 people lived in North Haven at the 2021 Census. Along Lady Gowrie Drive, beside the marina, apartments sit alongside marina berths, so not every car is parked in a standard suburban driveway.

Pickup notes for North Haven

A few details make the booking quicker, whatever you're selling, from a hatchback to a ute or a boat-towing four-wheel drive:

  • Car near the marina? Tell us which street and whether there's room to pull up beside it.
  • Retirement village or strata complex? Let us know if there's a gate, visitor parking or a manager we should check in with first.
  • Flat battery or seized brakes? No problem. The winch drags it up onto the tray.
  • Sitting on the verge or in a carport? Send a quick photo so we can see the angle.
  • Two vehicles at one address? Mention it when you call and we'll quote for both.

Payment and the MR96

You choose how you're paid: cash or instant PayID bank transfer. Either way, it's settled before the car is driven off. The tow is free, so there's no pickup fee deducted from the price.

Not sure about the MR96 notice of disposal? Dan brings one along and helps you fill it in, so the transfer paperwork is sorted on the spot.

North Haven FAQs

Can you collect from a retirement village or strata unit?

Yes. Just tell us about gates, visitor parking or anyone we need to check in with, and we'll work around it. A photo of where the car sits helps us plan the approach.

The car has no rego. Is that a problem?

Not at all. We take unregistered cars, and they don't need to run. If it has been parked up for years with flat tyres, the winch still gets it onto the tray.

Do you cover Osborne and Outer Harbor too?

Yes. Osborne borders North Haven and has its own page, linked above. Homes on the Outer Harbor side get the same free pickup.

How quickly can I get a price?

Text photos to 0499 291 717 or fill in the online quote form, and we'll come back with a figure between $200 and $2,000.

What days do you work?

Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm. Text ahead with your preferred day and we'll confirm a time slot that suits you.
