    Put simply, Roamwork is a coworking space where things happen. What do we mean by this? In this beautiful, vibey and modern workspace, local Cape Tonians and digital nomads are inspired to put their heads down and get to work. 

    If you love unique spaces with a contemporary, industrial-chic feel, then you'll find it easy to settle in at the covetable business address. Set along Harrington Street, one of the Mother City's trendiest hangout spots, this coworking space successfully emanates the outdoors. 

    The office interiors take inspiration from the surrounding cityscapes. They're styled with great attention to detail and an arty aesthetic. Curated art pieces and office plants cover the walls and spaces, creating a warm and inviting work environment.

    Beyond beautiful spaces, the office houses everything you need to be successful - whether you work in finance or the creative industry. Work quietly in a private office, book a meeting room and catch up with valuable clients, use the fully equipped production studio for creative projects, or grab a hot desk and work uninterrupted for a couple of hours. 

    Take breaks from work with a cuppa joe at the members' cafe, where freshly roasted barista coffee will satisfy your caffeine cravings.  During a hectic workday, step onto the balcony for fresh air and panoramic views of the famous Table Mountain and other iconic hotspots.
