You can always drop in for a peek at what we're up to, anytime during the week. However, to ensure our availability we advise you to schedule your tour.

Is there parking?

We have parking near our building from $45+gst per week.

Is there a safe place to lock up my bike?

Yes, we have the perfect secure spot just outside of the building for your bicycle. Bring a bike lock!

My job requires me to talk on the phone a lot.

Petridish is a Coworking space where it is essential that all members co-habituate without inconveniencing the others. On second floor we do have a quiet area however, level 1 is more lively space. In case you need to be on phone for longer duration, we recommend that you use our ‘phone booths’ that are available for free on level 2.

What are the extra costs?

Because just about everything is included, it’s easier to say what’s not included. You have to pay extra for private carparking and printing - which are both optional!

All members receive a discount at The Dish Cafe!

Do you have a cafe onsite?

Yes! The Dish Cafe on our ground floor. Drop in for a superb barista coffee and try our fresh and delicious food. We offer a display cabinet full of fresh food, plus baked goods and treats.
