WHO THIS IS FOR

Our space is the perfect spot if you need somewhere to sit, think, and get through your to-do list — natural light, good coffee, and a room that feels good to be in. Due to the size of the space, it's not the right fit for days that are back-to-back video calls or phone meetings. If you’re renting a desk and meeting with clients regularly, get in touch with our team about a part-time dedicated desk membership.

    • Standing desk, ergonomic chair, and monitor provided

    • High-speed Wi-Fi

    • Local espresso coffee, tea and milk (regular and oat milk)

    • Access to kitchenette and communal area

    • Natural light and a quiet, professional atmosphere

  • Casual desk — $30 + GST

    Just a desk and a good space to work. Coffee's on, wifi's fast, kitchen's yours.

    Casual desk + 1hr meeting room — $50 + GST

    Same as above, plus one guaranteed hour in the meeting room for you and your client. Book your preferred time slot after you check out.

Frequently asked questions

  • Because desks are so limited, casual bookings are non-refundable. Please make sure you can commit to the day before booking.

  • It depends on which option you've booked. If you've booked the casual desk plus meeting room, you'll receive a code at checkout to book your hour online — we recommend locking in your preferred time in advance. If you've booked the desk only, the meeting room isn't included. You're welcome to use it if it happens to be free, but paid bookings always take priority so it can't be guaranteed.

  • Not always. Permanent desk holders take priority and availability is genuinely limited. We recommend booking in advance.

  • Casual desks are available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Someone from the Artura Studio team is generally on site during those hours. When you complete your booking you will receive a confirmation email with everything you need to know about the space before you arrive.

  • Please leave the desk exactly as you found it at the end of the day. There is no storage at The Workspace and nothing should be left overnight.

  • If there’s no availability for your preferred day, feel free to email us at hello@theworkspace.nz — we occasionally have additional spaces that aren’t listed online.

  • Printing isn't included with a casual desk booking.
