Your Guide to Hot Desking in Wānaka

More and more business are adopting remote workers. While there are some obvious perks (namely staying in your pyjamas all day) the downfalls are the lack of  human connection and interaction which can have a negative impact on motivation, creativity and well-being.

The silver lining of what has been an unusual time is that the shift towards remote work is here to stay! Which has benefits for employees, employers, and the environment. So while the global head office may be in Lake Hāwea, Auckland, Sydney, London or Singapore you can balance your lifestyle by being based in Wānaka and make those meetings and calls from one of our co-working spaces.

General Service is a new shared workspace hub in Wānaka. They are committed to productivity, community and collaboration. Creativity runs through their veins. You can see it as soon as you walk through the hand painted doors. The space has character, and the people are relaxed and friendly. You’ll mostly work alongside local illustrators, photographers and freelancers. Start your morning with a cuppa from their very own Good Spot coffee-window.

Their daily rate is $40 or you can opt-in for a 5-day flexi pass for $180. Looking to host a meeting or an event of some creative kind? Get in touch with their team.

The Cell is a shared workspace that celebrates entrepreneurs, start-ups and professionals. You’ll find the wee-hub located just on the outskirts of the CBD, which means plenty of parking. Start your work day with a coffee and scone from Good Spot caravan. Or travel a few hundred metres down the road to Dripping Bowl food truck or Freshlink Grocer. The ambiance is the antidote to a Cell; it’s earthy, with plywood finishing’s and oak trestle desks.
