“The Cell literally saved my sanity and my productivity. While on an unexpectedly extended stay in New Zealand I found myself in Wanaka without a place to call The Office and a very challenging project to work on. As an easily distracted person, with the attention span of a gnat, and under pressure The Cell provided me with a warm, comfortable, collaborative-enough-to-be interesting-quiet-enough-to-be-productive place. MJ who runs The Cell is outstanding and not only had me set up in minutes with speedy internet, quality printing and 24 hour access. Even better she provides spontaneous and delicious morning teas and a recommendation for a hairdresser! Highly recommend this space for atmosphere, productivity and facilities.”
“Saved the day. Working while traveling has been a real challenge. My MacBook had some tech issues and I couldn’t keep a steady connection so that I could get support from Apple. I called and MJ came over and met us and got us all set up. Fastest connection speeds we have seen in the country.”
“Had a last minute project that required a lot of internet bandwidth and printing facilities. I was able to quickly get in and finalise my work. Great location and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Really focused workspace that allows you to get s**t done!”
“The Cell has been my home for a week while staying in Wanaka and it’s been awesome. It’s got everything I need to get my work done. A great environment for productive work and everyone is lovely. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!”
“The Cell allowed me to work alongside like minded individuals and be in a motivating environment rather than working at home alone.
With the support of MJ the Office Manager to answer any questions it made being in the office a pleasure and it allowed me to fully focus on the business goals I had set myself. After moving here from Mosgiel, Otago I found it was the best space to be in to find my feet in a new area.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this office space option to other people in the future.”
“Awesome place to work - MJ was super friendly and the place is just great :-)”
