We rented one of the large units at Auchterarder for about 3-4 months while between selling and purchasing houses. The office staff were very efficient, able to swiftly answer all questions, and extremely helpful. In addition, the storage unit was clean, well ventilated, and had good access. We were very pleased with the rental and were so lucky that a unit had been vacated just before calling to ask about availability.

I hired the storage container for one year. My stuff which was a whole house didn't get damaged by damp or mould. It was simple to access. It was a seamless process for hiring. Overall it is a high quality storage unit and I would definitely use it again. I would highly recommend David Lindsay self storage to anyone who asked.

This is a really great storage facility in Perth - the 24-hour access is extremely convenient, and unlike some of the larger facilities, the size of this one is perfect for accessing your containers. The bigger places actually make it harder to access your storage unit, and they are less convenient, whereas here, I never had a problem gaining access to my storage. I was able to get very close to the door with my vehicles, and so could load & unload with ease. The price is very competitive, and the staff are lovely - I highly recommend David Lindsay for your storage needs.
