What are the best digital nomad-friendly coworking spaces Wellington-wide? Which casual hot desks in the Wellington (Māori: Te Whanganui-a-Tara) area are #1? Here are the top free and paid coworking options in New Zealand’s (Māori: Aotearoa) capital for working travellers and entrepreneurs.
What Is A Coworking Space?
A coworking space is a shared ‘office’ where you can work on a temporary (or long-term) basis, with various services such as internet, kitchen facilities and meeting rooms. You can also network with others, collaborate on projects and maybe even meet your future business partner.
Why Use A Wellington Coworking Space?
As a digital nomad currently house-sitting in New Zealand, I run my business from ‘home’. Yet, working solo can be lonely and online networking isn’t the same as coffee with like-minded folks at a coworking space Wellington (or elsewhere).
You might feel extra motivation by being surrounded by others, the greater discipline of set working hours and a professional background in which to conduct business. There are even dog-friendly co-working spaces so that dog lovers can add pats and belly rubs to their morning caffeine routine.
