Every now and then on Ozbargain here I see complimentary or reduced cost membership for spaces usually in the CBD's around Australia that give access to office space for hot-desking/renting out for a few hours every now and then.
Can anyone remind me of what they are / if you've used any / if you've got any recommendations? Just discovered an office in Perth we've got is going to be completely unusable for about 6 months, not worth renting somewhere else for that time only but need a place to be able to go for internet etc.
Office Space

That's exactly the company I was thinking of, thanks.
If anyone has knowledge of similar companies that'd be great too - especially in the Perth Metro area/CBD.
I managed to get one of the completely free Regus memberships, allows walk in access to their business lounges. I find it handy as a consultant and often moving about between various client sites. I can just go into one and use the free internet and be in a relatively quiet space for a couple of hours.
If you need it for private office space then they also have that, but it's definitely not cheap.
Regus have dreadful reviews online for their serviced offices. The main complaint seems to be the compulsory additional charges for phone access, Internet, printing, mail etc. and a condition in the contract that makes it hard to give them the required notice to terminate so everyone ends up paying for an extra month.
Haven't used them personally, but when I looked into it those reviews gave me pause.Internet should be free to anyone with a membership, but yes, all of the others are expensive.
We use Regus throughout SE Asia, although I doubt we look for any deals. Works well for us.
Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler.
Please stop using my coffee mug.
I hink you may be thinking of a different Office Space to me.
He's just trying not to draw attention to the fact that he has occasional problems with rounding calculations.
Hi (from Adelaide)
A couple of other places apart from Regus these are co-working…

(click on the Perth icon on the Left Column).
Perhaps you mean Regus
They are offering 3 extra months free at the moment, for 6 or more months rent of private office or co-working desk.
I haven't personally used them. Others may be able to provide more info.
