Rent a Space continues to set the gold standard in the Australian self-storage industry. Our recent accolades from the Self Storage Association of Australasia (SSAA) aren’t just trophies on a shelf—they are a reflection of our commitment to cutting-edge facility design, sustainable practices, and an elite team dedicated to our customers.
Marsden Park: A Double Triumph in Storage Excellence
Our Marsden Park facility has quickly become the crown jewel of our operations. Since opening in December 2020, it has redefined what customers should expect from a storage provider.
Facility of the Year (2022): Awarded for its “over 500 units” category, recognizing our 852 secure units and customer-first amenities.
Manager of the Year (2023): Our very own Priya Khatri took home this prestigious title. Priya’s leadership is the engine behind Marsden Park’s operational success and its stellar 4.9-star Google rating.
Community First: Beyond storage, Marsden Park is a local pillar, sponsoring three junior sporting associations and providing long-term support for the Nelune Foundation.
Queanbeyan: Setting the Benchmark for the ACT
Though it only opened in January 2023, Rent a Space Queanbeyan is already a finalist for Facility of the Year. It serves as a blueprint for the future of the industry, featuring:
Eco-Friendly Innovation: Cutting-edge solar initiatives and sustainable water management.
Rapid Growth: Achieving a 4.9-star rating from 50+ reviews in its first few months.
Modern Design: Extensive site remediation and architectural aesthetics that blend seamlessly into the Canberra landscape.
