About Nooka
Nooka Space Africa puts small, private offices where people already are. Anyone can book one by the hour in the Nooka app for a quiet, professional place to work, whatever the load-shedding schedule says.
Why Nooka exists
Working from home brought freedom, and new problems: load-shedding, distractions and working alone all day. Nooka started as an answer to that shift after the Covid pandemic: a network of self-contained, fully equipped offices close to where people live and shop, booked in an app.
Nooka Space started in Europe and came to South Africa in November 2022, with the first pods at Blue Route Mall and Kenilworth. Somerset Mall, Cape Gate and Canal Walk followed. Today Nooka Space Africa runs 15 pods in five Cape Town malls from its office in Stellenbosch.
We believe everyone should have access to an affordable, professional place to work, and we’re glad to play a part in South Africa’s growing community of entrepreneurs and remote workers.
Three ways to use Nooka
Book a pod for an hour, give your team one of its own, or host pods at your venue.
-
Book by the hour
For remote workers, freelancers and anyone between meetings
Find a pod near you in the app, book it for as long as you need and unlock the door with your phone. A 1-seater is R80 an hour, a 2-seater R100 and a 4-seater R150.
How booking works -
Lease a pod for your team
For companies with hybrid or travelling teams
Lease any size by the month, from R5,000 for a 1-seater. Your people use it whenever they need a private office or meeting room, without booking and paying each time.

Host pods at your venue
For malls, office parks and campuses
Give visitors a quiet place to work and share in the income from every booking. We run the pods day to day.
