CPT | V&A Waterfront | Watershed

 
 

Where Cape Town meets the World

Cape Town is the cosmopolitan hub of Africa and the iconic Waterfront is where the world meets. Be in the heart of it all at Workshop17 Watershed - above a curated craft market in a magnificently converted warehouse with views over the harbour to Table Mountain.

 

Digital Nomads and Scale-ups

Mobile workers from across the globe congregate here and entrepreneurs tap into the incubators, accelerators, and business event-makers that turn start-ups into scale-ups.  

Putting Space to Work

Workshop17 Watershed has 154 hot desks, 11 private offices, meeting rooms, boardrooms, spacious seminar rooms, an event space and cafe - as well as the iconic Waterfront with 24/7 security.

 

Views to Inspire

There’s always something to see in the harbour that is a safe haven for three oceans. The Atlantic to the West, the Indian Ocean to the East, while the Southern Ocean touches the Antarctic.

“THE best coworking space in the world at the base of Table Mountain”

Robert Bloom

I have been their since inception. The views are out of this world (we look directly of the harbour at Table Mt one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the world). The space is mostly made up of glass so the natural lighting makes working at WS17 an absolute pleasure. The meeting rooms and facilitation spaces are perfect for what I do. Clients from all over South Africa come to the space to be inspired and come up with new innovations. Great coffee, excellent food and lots of interesting start-ups and established businesses to network with. Literally you can't find anything better than this around the world.

“Best Cape Town
Co-Working Space”

Westleigh Wilkinson

Beautifully designed, energetic space with helpful and supportive on the ground staff. Most user-friendly open plan hot desk space I have come across, and really awesome members always keen to share ideas over a cup of coffee. There tech focused meeting and event spaces make conference calls and presentations seamless. The space is located in the heart of Cape Town's Waterfront and walking distance from several restaurants and shops. There is even access to massage therapist downstairs when the day gets a little overwhelming and you need a back rub. By far Workshop17 is my favourite space to get work done

" Great community of forward thinking entrepreneurs "

Pierre Lombard

Our environment inspires great thinking. Large bay windows face the majestic Table Mountain. Next to us ships are repaired for the open seas and behind them lay the yachts of the rich and famous. The building has a great open energy and we are surrounded by organic and artisanal food vendors. A continuous influx of foreigners make for exciting networking and meaningful connections.
