How many coworking spaces are there in Cairns?
Coworking spaces listed

Updated July 2026
No Soho House-style private membership clubs or coliving-hybrid coworking spaces could be verified in Cairns. Cairns' coworking scene (e.g. theSpace Cairns) consists of standard pay-per-desk coworking offices, not membership-club or coliving-integrated models.

Good to know
Good to Know
- theSPACE Cairns' pricing is structured as a discounted 'membership' scheme (day, 1-day/week, 3-days/week, or permanent) rather than a single flat day rate — ask about current promo pricing, as the 'standard' rates shown are notably higher.
- Art Work Spaces sells day-access in bundles (4/8/12/16/20 days) as well as single day passes and dedicated desks, so it can work out cheaper than a pure per-day rate if you're staying a while.
- Both spaces are in or right next to the Cairns CBD, so either is walkable from most CBD/Esplanade-area nomad accommodation.
- If neither traditional space suits your budget, several Cairns hostels advertise their own coworking corners/rooftop workspaces with fast Wi-Fi as a free alternative — worth checking if you're on a tight budget.
- Cairns is a small regional city (population under 170,000) and its remote-work infrastructure is limited to conventional coworking desks rather than upscale members' clubs or coliving-with-coworking setups found in larger nomad hubs.
- Nomads seeking a coliving-style setup in Cairns typically piece together a shared house/apartment rental plus a separate standalone coworking desk, rather than finding a single integrated coliving+coworking property.
Coworking Spaces
- Context Note
- No named hotel-lobby / hotel-coworking hybrid venues (e.g., a hotel explicitly operating or hosting a branded coworking product) turned up in current searches for Cairns — the coworking scene here is dominated by two standalone, purpose-built operators rather than hotel partnerships.
