Here’s How & Where To Rent A Coworking Space in Melbourne

Looking to rent a coworking space in Melbourne? You may be if you’re one of the many workers around the globe who transitioned to remote work in recent years. Even if you’re a long-time veteran of working from home, a change of scenery can be a helpful tool to improve your productivity. Renting a coworking space not only gets you out of your own home but also provides you with opportunities to collaborate with your coworkers and team members face-to-face and to have in-person meetings as needed.

We’ll cover how and where to rent a coworking space in Melbourne, so keep reading. We’ll also provide some examples of coworking spaces in Melbourne available to rent through Peerspace, the largest marketplace on the web for hourly rentals.

How should you rent a coworking space in Melbourne?

Peerspace makes finding a coworking space in Melbourne pretty straightforward. But you’ll want to go over a few questions before you make any final decisions.

What’s your budget?

Figure out how much you’re willing to spend at the start of your search for a coworking space rental. That way, you can filter your search based on this criterion – a major benefit of using Peerspace is that you can filter according to price as well as many other features.

How many people do you expect to use the coworking space with you?

Will it just be you, or will you need space for more people? This determines how large of a space you need (as well as furniture requirements, catering, and more) so it’s definitely worth ironing out early on in the process.

How long will you need to be there?

Luckily, Peerspace allows you to rent spaces for as little as an hour at a time, so you’ll have options whether you’re only planning to hold a quick meeting or you’re planning an all-day workshop or work session.

Contrast this with many of the alternatives on the market, such as WeWork, which doesn’t allow you to rent a space for just a few hours without long-term commitments.

How do you plan to use the space?

Your requirements for a space where you’re planning to, say, have a professional meeting with an important client might be quite different from a location that’s solely for getting work done on your own.

What amenities do you need to have at your coworking space in Melbourne?

For instance, if you have a virtual slideshow you’re planning on presenting to those in attendance, you’ll want to rent a space with the A/V equipment needed to do so, or at least rent that equipment separately.

Don’t forget about location, location, location

Even the best coworking space in Melbourne might not work for your needs if it’s inconveniently located, inaccessible by public transit, doesn’t have adequate nearby parking, and so forth.

Once you’ve answered these questions for yourself, it’s time to get to searching! Head over to Peerspace to search the city’s hundreds of Peerspace listings for the ideal coworking space in Melbourne.

Peerspace listings make it easy

As we mentioned, you can streamline your search by filtering based on the price, a number of attendees, keywords, indoor and outdoor spaces, style, space type, included amenities, and more. Once you do, you can start going through coworking space listings.

Every Peerspace listing comes with in-depth descriptions of the space from its host and high-resolution photos, and many also have reviews from past renters for even more insight.

This information makes it easy to pick the perfect coworking space for your needs.
