Coworking Review
Venture Workspace’s Constantia location sits inside the Constantia Emporium — a lush, wine-valley shopping and lifestyle precinct in one of Cape Town’s most residential upper-bracket suburbs. The working environment here is unlike any other coworking space in the city: mountain-backed, green, and genuinely quiet.
What makes the Constantia location unusual
Constantia is not a coworking suburb. There are no CBD towers or startup clusters here — just residential estate roads, wine farms, and one of the better shopping centres in the Southern suburbs. Venture Workspace has built a coworking product inside that infrastructure, which means you’re working in a setting that feels more like a boutique business hotel lobby than a traditional hot-desk space.
The Emporium location gives you immediate access to good coffee, a decent food court, and outdoor seating that makes a Cape Town summer working day genuinely pleasant. If you live in Constantia, Hout Bay, or the Southern Peninsula and don’t want to drive to the CBD for a desk, this is the only serious coworking option in your catchment.
Connectivity and backup power
The space runs on high-speed fibre with UPS coverage through load shedding. The connection is solid and consistent — adequate for all standard remote work. The Constantia Emporium’s building infrastructure is well-maintained, and the UPS system handles scheduled outages without dropping wifi or desk power.
Day pass pricing
Day passes are R225 excluding VAT (R258.75 at the standard rate). Monthly memberships are available for regular users who want guaranteed desk access and a billing relationship. Contact Venture Workspace directly for current membership rates.
Included in the day pass: hot desk, high-speed wifi, UPS backup, kitchen access, and use of common areas. The Emporium location means bathroom facilities, coffee, and food are all building-quality rather than coworking-space quality.
Trade-offs
Constantia is a long way from the CBD and Sea Point. If your client meetings or collaborative work takes you north regularly, the commute from this location in Cape Town traffic will be an ongoing friction. The space is also smaller than CBD or Waterfront options — on busy days, confirm desk availability before making the drive.
Who should use this space
Venture Workspace Constantia is the right pick for Hout Bay, Constantia, Tokai, and Southern Peninsula-based remote workers who want a professional desk environment without the CBD commute. It’s also worth considering for focused writing, reading, or strategy days where the quiet residential setting is an asset rather than an absence of stimulus.
