A full kitchen, delivered
Induction hob, oven, fridge-freezer, sink with hot water, dishwasher and dinette seating for four — everything you cook with, in a single pod on a trailer.
Melbourne · Owner-operated
A working kitchen,
parked outside your renovation.
A self-contained kitchen pod delivered to your driveway, so a six-week renovation isn't six weeks of takeaway.
The average kitchen renovation takes four to eight weeks of no benchtop, no sink and no stove. A kitchen pod is a working kitchen for the duration — parked outside, invisible from inside the house.
Every fixed-term hire
Everything you cook with, delivered and set up.
Set up in 45 minutes
Delivered on the day you nominate. Levelled, connected to your outdoor tap and power outlet, grey-water discharged into the overflow relief gully or pumped out — you cook that evening.
Dishwasher and washing machine
Built-in dishwasher and compact washing machine, so dishes and laundry don't stop during the hire.
Collection is included
No leaving the pod there, no additional fee. I collect when your kitchen's back in.
Full specification, exact measurements and what disqualifies a site: what's included.

Common questions
What people ask before they book.
-
How much space do I need on my driveway?
The site needs a level, firm pad of at least 7 m × 3.5 m. The pod unit itself is 4 m × 2.25 m (excluding the drawbar) and the rest is clearance for the drawbar during positioning and access on each side. Clear overhead access for the trailer during delivery. Narrow laneway entries, steep driveways and low overhanging branches rule a site out. The what's included page walks through site requirements before you enquire.
-
What do I need connected before you arrive?
An outdoor cold-water tap within 20 metres. Power is either a 10-amp outlet (Battery Pod) or a dedicated 15-amp circuit installed by the builder's electrician (15-Amp Pod). Grey-water is pumped out or discharged into a sewer-connected overflow relief gully where the property has one — never into the garden or into stormwater. Exact clearances and connection specifics are on the site requirements page.
-
How long can I hire the pod for?
Anything from about a week upwards. Send the dates and address and you get a firm quote back the same day.
-
What if my renovation runs long?
Extensions are common. Get in touch as soon as dates start slipping and the extra weeks are quoted separately. No penalty for extending — the only real risk is another booking being queued for the pod, so give me as much notice as you can.
-
Do you work with insurance claims?
Yes — for insurance builders, restoration firms and adjusters, temporary kitchen supply is invoiced direct to the insurer or builder rather than the resident. Coverage area, lead times, invoicing and rate card are on the For Insurers page.
