Home staging on the Northern Beaches
Goldpac Home Staging stages Northern Beaches family homes, townhouses and beachside apartments at fixed prices from $2,300 +GST, with a fixed quote within 2 hours and a one-day install. On Plateau Road, Bilgola Plateau, a vacant four-bedroom house whose campaign was drifting towards the suburb's 69-day median sold 45 days after Goldpac staged it (CoreLogic 2025).
Lifestyle is the listing
Beaches buyers pay for a way of living as much as for rooms: the walk to the sand, the garden, the outdoor table. The staging job is to make that life legible inside the house. On Plateau Road, Bilgola Plateau, the second living room overlooking the garden had read as a spare room with no purpose; a slim two-seater daybed against the garden window and a reading lamp made it the retreat the listing needed, and the main living room was set so the eye ran through the sliding doors to the garden.
Townhouses are the other big category. On Park Street, Mona Vale, an empty four-bedroom Torrens-title townhouse had three living zones, and staging gave every one of them a job ahead of a guide of $2.35 million to $2.45 million. In another Mona Vale townhouse, open-plan living that felt spacious but cold was warmed without losing its size.

Where we stage on the Northern Beaches
Across the Northern Beaches Council area: Manly, Freshwater, Dee Why, Collaroy, Narrabeen, Frenchs Forest, Mona Vale, Bilgola Plateau, Newport and Avalon. The drive from the Castle Hill warehouse is longer than for the Hills or the North Shore, so the install window is agreed in writing with the agent when the date is booked.
Which rooms matter most on the Beaches?
The room that opens to the outside. Whether it is a deck, a courtyard or a living room with sliding doors to the garden, Beaches buyers judge the home from that line, so the stylist sets the furniture to point at it. Then the second living area, which reads as overflow without a job, and the bedrooms, which in a family home need to read as a children's room, a guest room and a study rather than three white boxes. Outdoor areas are priced as add-ons: a balcony or standard outdoor area $450, a large alfresco or terrace from $700.
What does staging cost on the Northern Beaches?
The same fixed prices as the rest of Sydney: $3,500 +GST for a three-bedroom home, $4,500 +GST for four and $5,500 +GST for five, with 12 weeks of furniture hire, delivery, a one-day install and collection included. There is no deposit, and payment is due within 60 days of installation for approved clients. See the full price list.
Northern Beaches staging questions
Does Goldpac travel to the Northern Beaches?
Yes. Goldpac stages across the Northern Beaches from its Castle Hill warehouse, at the same fixed prices as the rest of Sydney. The install window is agreed in writing when the date is booked, and the install itself takes one day.
Can you stage a Northern Beaches house that has sat on the market?
Yes. A vacant four-bedroom on Plateau Road, Bilgola Plateau, was heading towards the suburb's 69-day median before staging; it sold 45 days after Goldpac staged it (CoreLogic 2025). The full diagnostic for stalled listings is in The Listing Sat 30+ Days.
Do you stage townhouses as well as houses?
Yes. Townhouses are priced by bedroom count like houses, and multi-level layouts are where staging helps most, because buyers need each living zone to have a clear job. A four-bedroom Mona Vale townhouse had its three living zones staged for a campaign guided at $2.35 million to $2.45 million.
How much does it cost to stage outdoor areas?
A balcony or standard outdoor area is a $450 add-on and a large alfresco, terrace or courtyard from $700, on top of the bedroom-count price. Every price is fixed before booking and does not change after.
