Welcome to The Crate—a coworking community on Auckland’s North Shore and in Hamilton where you can do your best work around an absolutely awesome bunch of people. People who are building businesses, not just passing time. If you work better around others and want your workday to feel a bit more human, you’ll feel right at home here.
How The Crate began
Back in 2014, we noticed a growing number of people running businesses from spare rooms, kitchen tables, and busy cafés. Sure, the freedom was thrilling, but it often came with feelings of isolation and distraction, kind of like being “half at work, half at home.” Traditional office leases just didn’t cut it for solo consultants, tiny startups, or small teams that might change size throughout the year.
So we opened The Crate on Omega Street in Rosedale. It was a shared space where you could walk in with your laptop, be greeted like you belong there, and get straight into your day without worrying about overheads, landlords, or office admin. As our community grew, people kept asking, “When are you coming to Hamilton?” Eventually, we made it happen! Today, The Crate has two locations: one on Auckland’s North Shore (Albany–Rosedale) and another on Victoria Street in Hamilton.
