Flat pack or assembled,
delivered to Port Elliot.
Port Elliot is one freight run from our door in Rockhampton. What arrives is a kitchen drawn for your room, in 18mm moisture-resistant board with Blum hardware throughout.
The short answer
We design and cut every kitchen in Rockhampton, Queensland, and freight it to Port Elliot west via the Sturt Highway — flat packed, or delivered assembled with the doors already hung and adjusted. We do not install in Port Elliot; your own builder or installer fits it from our drawings. Send the room dimensions and the quote comes back both ways, fixed and itemised, with freight to your postcode on its own line.
Why does the specification matter in Port Elliot?
Near the water it is never the doors that go first, it is everything that moves. Salt finds the cheapest component in the kitchen and works on it. Specifying the hardware properly at the start is most of what a coastal kitchen needs. Island and coastal freight adds a leg, which is exactly when flat cartons stop being a preference and start being the answer.
How does it reach Port Elliot?
Your kitchen is cut in Rockhampton and freighted west via the Sturt Highway. Flat cartons are labelled to a numbered drawing, one per cabinet where possible, with doors and fronts wrapped separately and the Blum hardware bagged against the cabinet it belongs to. Assembled orders arrive as finished boxes, doors hung and adjusted, which takes more truck space and shows as a higher freight line. Both are on the same quote so the choice is a number rather than a guess.
Who fits it in Port Elliot?
Your builder, carpenter or kitchen installer, plus a licensed plumber and a licensed electrician for their parts. Ask each for a licence number and check it yourself — in South Australia that is SA Consumer and Business Services. Every order ships with dimensioned service drawings showing each waste, water point and outlet, so the trades rough in to the plan rather than to a guess. Our install guide sets out the three trades and the fixed order they work in.
What if the walls in Port Elliot are not square?
They will not be. Almost no wall in any house is, which is why every run is drawn with scribe allowance at the ends and why we ask for wall measurements at three heights rather than one. The scribe pieces are the strips that take up the difference between a square cabinet and a wall that leans. They ship with the order, and your installer cuts them to the wall on the day.
Is it worth ordering spare parts with the kitchen?
A spare hinge or two and a length of matching edging, yes, and they cost very little alongside the kitchen. Years later a door that takes a knock is a five minute fix if the part is in a drawer and a much longer one if it has to be matched to a finish that may have moved on. Ask for it to be added as a line on the quote rather than assuming it is included.
Flat pack or assembled — which works out cheaper?
The cabinetry price is identical. What differs is the assembly line on the quote and the freight line, because assembled cabinets take several times the truck space of the same kitchen in cartons. To Port Elliot that difference is usually decisive, and most orders this far out go flat. But the quote shows both, so it is a number you compare rather than a decision you are talked into.
Where else do you ship in the Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island?
We ship to Goolwa, Kingscote, Normanville, Middleton, Yankalilla on the same route. The the Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island page covers the region, and South Australia covers the state.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
The seasonal swing here moves timber and board more than a steady climate does, and the joint that gives first is almost always the edge. Laser-bonded edging is fused to the panel rather than glued to it, so there is no seam to lift.
The same three questions decide any kitchen anywhere: board thickness and moisture rating, edging method, hardware brand. Ours are 18mm moisture-resistant, laser-bonded and Blum, and they are printed on every quote. How to judge a flat pack.
- 18mm moisture-resistant board
- Laser-bonded edging, no glue line

Frequently asked
Port Elliot — questions
If your question is not here, call the studio. We would rather talk it through than have you guess.
Ask us directly →Do you deliver flat pack kitchens to Port Elliot?
Yes. Port Elliot is served west via the Sturt Highway, and freight is quoted to your postcode as its own line on the quote rather than folded into the cabinetry price.
Do you install kitchens in Port Elliot?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Port Elliot your builder, carpenter or kitchen installer fits it, working from the dimensioned service drawings that ship with every order. Our install guide covers the three trades and the order they work in.
Should I order flat pack or assembled to Port Elliot?
Both are quoted on the same drawing. Flat cartons ship for less and get through tight doorways; assembled arrives with carcasses built and doors adjusted so your installer is fitting rather than building. Over this distance most the Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Port Elliot?
A licensed plumber and a licensed electrician, and you should check both licences yourself before they start. In South Australia, SA Consumer and Business Services is the register to check against.
What board and hardware do you use?
18mm moisture-resistant board, laser-bonded edging and Blum soft-close hinges and runners on every cabinet, in every state. The specification is printed on your quote so you can hold it against anything else you are offered.
Can I see a sample before ordering in Port Elliot?
Yes. Door, board and edging samples are posted out, and for most people that settles the colour question better than a screen does. Ask when you send the dimensions through.
Delivered assembled
The assembly is done
before it arrives.
Carcasses built square on a bench, Blum hardware fitted, doors hung and adjusted to even gaps. On site you are fixing finished cabinets to a wall, not building them on the floor. Your builder or installer levels it, fixes it and fits the benchtop, working from our drawings. Prefer to build it yourself? The same kitchen ships flat pack.
