I had been looking for a decluttering service with a wholistic approach for sometime and I am so happy I found Peta.

I have a large home and a busy family life with young children and we were just bursting at the seams.  No matter how hard I tried I could not get on top of our ‘stuff’ and my daily systems and processes I use to manage my home were not working well.

As a generally organised person I was finding myself overwhelmed, inefficient and to be honest quite stressed and this was impacting my whole wellbeing.

I desperately needed help and wanted a whole-of-home service.  Someone who could work through each space in my home, declutter and organise in a stylish manner. 

I feel so fortunate to have found Peta who has been able to do just that.

On the surface, Peta provides an extremely efficient and high quality service of reviewing and measuring each space, researching and recommending storage products, decluttering, cleaning and styling each room, but underneath all of this is so much more. 

She offers kindness, understanding, honesty, sensitivity and support (let’s be honest – it can be emotional to part with items that have strong memories) and she ‘owns’ each job, working really hard to get you the result you need.

Having completed my home, I feel such a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I smile more, I am more focussed and engaged with my children, I can be spontaneous again as I need not worry about all that tidying up and cleaning I need to do at home, my children are happier and my husband is more organised.  I have started reading again with the extra time I have gotten back and can focus on doing things that mean more to me.  My brow wrinkle has also softened as clearly I am not holding as much tension and stress in my body!!

Not only has this been a way to improve my home, it has been an investment in my family and in my wellbeing and it is totally worth it!

Thank you so much Peta.

Peta completely transformed my kitchen, living spaces, play room and office from being out of control and with things absolutely everywhere, to a calm environment where everything now has a place.

She went out of her way to find and source suitable containers and storage solutions for all the different parts of the kitchen and house. She organized and set up all areas beautifully, and inspired me to think about our living spaces completely differently and to aim for living without clutter.

She taught me a lot about how to think about organizing your house and things and even months after she completed the project, we think every day about how she would have organized a particular area and continue to try to declutter as we go about every day.

She also did a massive job on organizing and decluttering my very full garage / downstairs storage space and put everything into an incredible system that now helps me massively every day.

I recently had the pleasure of Peta and her team declutter and organise our home and it was hands down the best decision I’ve made. Peta is warm and intuitive and listened to my needs. Everything has a place now and I feel organised and calm. No more over-purchasing or losing things or having items fall down from cupboards now.

I tried decluttering and cleaning and it seemed to end up back to chaos in a matter of time.  Peta even came back and checked in on how I was going and made sure I was keeping up with the new habits we had discussed. I also know how to fold fitted sheets!! Bonus.

I could never go back to the way it was and am ever so grateful. 5 stars. Thank you.

Peta and the team were very professional and helped to make the move between two homes a seamless transition. Our first night in our new home couldn’t have been organised better. Everything we needed for the first few days was put in two boxes and was unpacked as soon as we arrived. She prepared our first meal, our bed was made, toiletries organised in our bathroom, along with towels, our PJ’s and our medications in our nightstand.  We highly recommend.

Our bedrooms, living areas and garage were an absolute mess with junk everywhere. My husband and I work full time and we have a young family too, so we just couldn’t find the time (and if I’m completely honest, the desire!) to clean it up. I was completely overwhelmed by it. Then someone recommended Peta in a Facebook group and I didn’t waste a second. We had an amazing experience with her from start to finish. She finished our home in the time she anticipated and her work was phenomenal. Our home is super organised, cleaned and categorised. 

Her follow up session (which is free!!!) was also a life saver. During this four-hour appointment she tidied and reorganised areas we’d neglected and shared her strategies on how to stay organised. We follow her guide (downloaded from her site) to the tee and our home has remained ship shape ever since!

Looking back, I don’t know why I didn’t reach out to Peta and her team earlier. From the moment I met her she was attentive to my needs. She asked lots of questions during our planning session to make sure she understood my goals.  

She is dedicated and goes above and beyond for her clients and makes the decluttering and organising process easy and stress-free!  She is intuitive and knew exactly how to organise our home into functional spaces that requires little effort to maintain. Just how I wanted it. Simple, effective, organised living areas was my brief and she excelled! 

I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that this was money very well spent. I’m happier, my family is happier and my home has become the calm oasis I’d always dreamed it would be.

Peta is a brilliant cleaner. She is more than a cleaner. She has a passion for organising, decluttering and cleaning to the highest quality standard. She really takes trouble and has a wonderful attention to detail, never taking shortcuts, and she uses fabulous smelling organic products which is a bonus with kids in the house. Thank you Peta!  

Nicole & Lyn Bradshaw — Breakfast Point

I am reluctant to write this testimonial for Peta for fear that she will become so busy she may not be available to look after us anymore.

Peta is without exception the best cleaner we have ever had, but she is so much more than that. She is a housekeeper, an expert at decluttering, she packs and unpacks for you if you are moving or renovating, she irons, changes lightbulbs, dusts everything (not just around things!). She will do anything you want her to do, and notices, and takes care of things you hadn’t even been aware were needing attention.

She takes pride in her work and it shows.

Peta is so much more than our cleaner, she has a heart of gold and has become part of our family and we would be lost without her.

Quite simply put, what Peta and her team do will change your life. After years of accumulating possessions the reality of organising and storing them in our new home was overwhelming. The mental load was heavy and although I consider myself an organised and motivated person it was a job I just couldn’t seem to face. After meeting Peta I trusted her innately with what needed to be done and within a few days she has totally transformed a huge amount of “stuff” into neatly categorised piles which were lovingly sorted and stored in the most perfect and functional way. It was the most amazing weight off my shoulders and shedding the burden was totally transformational. The care and thought that Peta and her team put into their work is second to none and the results are incredible. If you have been thinking that you need help to get organised, stop thinking and call Peta!

Clare Fitzpatrick — Pymble

Our house was really bothering me as we had built up years of "stuff" which was continuing to get worse and everything was overflowing. I was also really concerned about the amount of dust in the house due to allergies. We got recommended Ship-Shape Shack and in walked Peta! 

Peta has put in over and above from the very first moment I met her. She has a great vision for what can be and saw things that I didn't even notice. After pulling out all the stops to get our house decluttered, organised and deep cleaned at very short notice and while my partner was overseas, I can only say that our house has been taken to a level of clean that it has never seen before. Upon returning home, the house was so amazing I didn't want to leave.

The energy in the house is better and it has given me a new sense of space and cleanliness, both physical and mental. So happy we found Peta - thank you thank you thank you! 

Beth Horvath — Central Coast

Peta is the lead organiser and she was absolutely BRILLIANT!! I cannot thank her enough for her help decluttering and organising our house. It was a huge job, but she did exactly what she planned to do in the nine days she estimated. They handled our belongings with care and helped us sell, recycle and donate the rest. It was so worth the money. We shopped around, but her uncomplicated approach (and positive reviews) was a no brainer for us. You can stop your search here, because you found the best!

Tanya Duncan — Hornsby

Peta was AHHHMAZING!!! I would highly recommend her and her team. She needed minimal direction and was a pleasure to have in our home. She had great ideas and cared that the ideas worked for us. Nothing was an issue and the BEST part was after they organised everything it was easy for us to find where it was. She took pics and measured all our internal spaces so the canisters and storage containers she ordered were a perfect fit too. Peta and the Ship Shape Shack team are 5 stars +++!!!

Gemma Croxan — Curl Curl

Couldn't recommend Peta more. She has literally changed my life. I was so tired of cleaners coming and doing an OK job. I wanted someone who did the best job imaginable but had told myself I asked too much. Then along came Peta. Tuesday evening is my fave time of the week, I walk into an immaculate house, completely spotless. Tidy and cleaned within an inch of its life. I never have to leave inane instructions about cleaning the kitchen or bathroom or whatever. Peta has created her own schedule for the house that ensure everything stays spotless all the time (shutters on a monthly rotation, pull out the couch and Hoover under cushions on a fortnightly rotation). She sees dust and dirt and mess herself and cleans it properly. She even cleans inside the bin! And frequently there's little surprises like an organised cupboard, laundry all folded and put away etc. Couldn't recommend her enough. You definitely won't regret giving her a call.

Jesica Chiha — Manly Vale

OH EM GEE. Peta was so amazing - she stayed overtime until the job was done PERFECTLY and wouldn’t take money for the extra time she worked. All the products she uses are organic and my house smelt incredible! Everything was done so thoroughly - my place literally feels brand new. I could NOT recommend her enough. The most sparkling clean we have ever had.

Audrey Portman — Avalon

SHOUT OUT to an AMAZING CLEANER! A few months ago I’d seriously lost all hope of finding a decent cleaner. I persevered and gave it one more shot and found Peta.

I waited a few months to share my testimonial as I just wanted to make sure the quality lasted. She exceeds all my expectations and some!

She is self motivated and does things around the house that I’ve had on my ‘to do list’ forever. Her standard of cleaning is outstanding and she’s completely chemical free and makes essential oil spray blends herself.

She didn’t ask for this recommendation, however when I find a stand out business owner, I feel they are worth celebrating and supporting.

Jade Cottee — Freshwater

OMFG, THIS IS LIVING! Everything is spotless, smells incredible (she uses her own eco products made with essential oils so no chemicals) and they did heaps of reorganising too! I feel like I’ve walked into a luxury hotel! Can’t wait to have her back on the reg!

Sudharshana Varadarajan — Chatswood

Peta is my fairy godmother. I’ve said this before, I’ll say it again. I can eat on the floor she’s cleaned. No plate needed.
