When you move her into the new place, take her to her litter box, take her to her scratching post and then let her hide. She'll probably disappear for a day or so, but eventually curiousity will get the better of her and she'll start exploring.
From my experience this is the best option as well. Also, find where you're going to put the litter box, stick it there and don't move it. When you do bring the cat to the new place, take the cat out of the carrier and put it next to the litter box.

Be prepared for a pissed off cat. Don't leave piles of blankets, clothes, etc. around while you're moving or the cat might use them as an alternate toilet.
