Rather work where it works.

Nooka pods are small, private offices in Cape Town malls. Book one by the hour in the app, unlock the door with your phone and get to work. Wi-Fi and backup power are included, so load-shedding won’t end your call.

A quiet room, whenever you need one

Working from home means sharing it with the dog, the kids and the load-shedding schedule. A Nooka gives you a door that closes, a desk, a screen and a connection that stays up. Book an hour for a call, or the afternoon for deep work.

  • Fast Wi-Fi

    High-speed internet is included in every booking.

  • Power through load-shedding

    Backup power keeps the lights, plugs and Wi-Fi running when the grid goes down.

  • Quiet inside

    Noise-reducing walls keep the mall outside, so your calls sound like you’re in an office.

  • Opens with your phone

    Your booking is your key. Tap Unlock door in the app when your time starts.

  • Fresh air

    Ventilation keeps the air moving, even through a full day of work.

  • A screen to plug into

    A mounted monitor in every 1-seater, and a smart TV in the 2- and 4-seaters.

How booking works

  1. Find a pod

    See every Nooka near you on the map, with photos, prices and open slots.

  2. Book and pay

    Pick a start time and how long you need, then pay by card. Your card is saved for next time.

  3. Unlock the door

    When your booking starts, tap Unlock door. Step out and back in as often as you like; the door locks behind you.

  4. Stay longer if you need to

    Running over? Extend from the app, as long as the next slot is free.

Pods work in malls, office parks and campuses, anywhere people need a quiet place to work for an hour. If you run a venue, talk to us about hosting pods. If you want one for your own team, you can lease any size by the month.

Common questions

Can’t find your answer? Message us from the chat in the app, or email hello@nookaspace.com.

How do I get into the pod?

When your booking starts, open it in the app and tap Unlock door. The door locks when it closes, so tap Unlock door again to get back in during your booking.

The door won’t open. What should I do?

Check that the lights inside the pod are on, then try Unlock door again. If that doesn’t work, close and reopen the app and make sure your phone has signal or Wi-Fi. Still stuck? Message us from the chat button in the app.

Can I cancel or move a booking?

Yes. In My bookings, open the booking, tap the three dots and choose Cancel or Reschedule. Refunds for cancellations reach your card in 5 to 10 business days.

Can I stay longer?

Tap Extend booking on your active booking, choose how much time you need and pay in the app. You can extend as long as the next slot isn’t booked.

What can I control from the app?

While your booking is active you can switch the lights and set the temperature from the app.

Are there house rules?

Wipe down the surfaces when you arrive, leave food and alcohol outside, switch the lights off when you go, and be out by the end of your booking. If you need more time, extend it in the app.

When is support available?

Use the chat button in the app. We reply Monday to Friday, and messages sent after hours are answered the next business day.
