Coworking

We provide desks and office space to work from that is more affordable, more social, and more inspirational, than renting an office, or working from home.
Everything is already here, set up and ready for you. Unlike renting your own office space.
You working on your business, is our focus. Unlike working from a cafe or other public space.
It is your professional office space that is away from your home. So your home becomes a home again.

Deals

From months a year, to days a week, or just hours a day. Confluence desk deals are in four simple choices.
We all know you cannot simply buy time, but you can buy an experience and service that means your time at work will be more productive and social. So all you need to think about is how much of that you need.

Environment

Spacious, cool in summer and warm in winter, with comfortable areas to relax in. Confluence is your pleasant space.
Confluence is a large office space, but the coworking areas are deliberately maintained as a boutique style coworking space with a maximum of 10 coworking desks available at any one time. 

The peaceful atmosphere is further enhanced by open spaces, comfortable casual seating, and plenty of potted plants providing greenery all year round. So Confluence offers professional spaces, yet still retains a welcoming home from home feeling for everyone who spends time here.

Facilities

Every coworking desk deal provides access to our professional business equipment, and associated supplies, at no extra cost. 
To ensure availability for everyone we have a fair use policy, and also occasionally some benefits may be subject to availability.

Remote worker placement

​Confluence coworking provides pay-as-you-need professional office space that is private enough to be productive, and social enough to connect locally.

Are you an employer of an organisation based outside of Whanganui with remote staff who live locally? If so, did you know Confluence coworking is a cost effective, safe, social, solution to your flexible working practices. More and more NZ employers are recognising that investing in staff, not buildings, is the future of working.

Placing your remote staff members in our coworking space allows them to enjoy the lifestyle of living in our wonderful Whanganui community, often being close to family or owning our more affordable housing. Whilst at the same time you, as their employer, has peace of mind that they will be working in a professionally maintained office space, that is dedicated to businesses, social, and well equipped.

I got so much work done just being out of the home office for a few hours with no interruptions. Melita and Kevin were so accommodating and everything I needed was available. Great place to work :-)

Confluence is my happy/go to space when I'm in need of a great work environment or facility. Everyone is always so welcoming and helpful and all the facilities I may need are there. You are made to feel like part of it and included rather than just renting a desk space. - Love it!
