Self-Storage in Stellenbosch: Student & Winelands Storage at Eikestad Mall

Need self-storage in Stellenbosch? Flexistore's facility at Eikestad Mall sits right in the centre of town — South Africa's first fully digital, app-controlled self-storage, with a digital key on your phone and 24/7 access. No padlocks, no deposit. It is ideal for students juggling term-time and holidays, and for Winelands households that need flexible, secure space.

On-mall convenience in the heart of Stellenbosch

Being on Eikestad Mall makes this facility genuinely convenient — central, easy to reach on foot or by car, and surrounded by the shops and services you already use. For a student town where parking and time are both tight, that location is a real advantage.

Student storage between terms

Stellenbosch University runs on a rhythm of terms, vacs and lease changeovers, and student digs rarely have room to leave everything behind over a long break. Flexistore is built for exactly this:

  • Store over the holidays — books, bedding, appliances and boxes, secured and out of the way.
  • Bridge a lease gap — somewhere to keep your things between one place and the next.
  • Share a unit and split the cost — share the digital key with a housemate in the app and revoke it later.
  • One-month minimum — no long lock-in, so it flexes around the academic year.

See Flexistore's student storage page, and if you are heading abroad, our gap-year storage guide.

Winelands household storage

Beyond the student market, Stellenbosch is a town of families, professionals and Winelands homes. The same units work for decluttering, moving, renovating and holding furniture or seasonal items — secure, dry and accessible whenever you need them.

How the units work

Flexistore units are indoor, dry and secure, with steel walls and doors so nobody can see inside and tamper-proof locks built into the frame. Sensors keep each unit dry and at a constant temperature and humidity level, and units are 2.3–2.4 m tall for generous usable volume. Everything is managed in the app: a digital key opens the facility and your unit, you can keep a photo inventory, and you can share access. Trolleys are on site, with free guest WiFi.

What size do you need?

Sizes are in square metres, and the height helps — a compact 1 m² unit holds about 15 moving boxes, which is plenty for a student's term-break storage. Larger units take a room's worth of furniture or a household's worth of boxes. Use the in-app size calculator, and note you can change size with no admin fee. See our unit sizes guide.

What it costs

Price depends on the size; the live rate is on the Eikestad Mall location page and in the app. There is no deposit and the minimum term is one month (paid in advance, 14 days' notice to cancel) — which keeps it affordable for students. See our cost guide.

Access and security

You open your unit with a digital key in the app, 24/7, every day, and the facility combines digital access control, video surveillance and tamper-proof steel units. See how secure is self-storage.
