“Have just moved into a Private Office, and have say this is such an impressive Co Share work place. I had to find a new office at very short notice and I’m so happy I stumbled upon Power-House! Extremely modern, clean, quiet, and super friendly and helpful landlord in Jack! Jack has been nothing but helpful and professional, my employer questioned him on many fronts and he remained calm and respectful. Very pleased I have committed to a long term agreement here, am going to be very happy and I’m sure work will be that much more fun!!”

“I've been working from the co-work hotdesks at PowerHouse for 6 months and really enjoy the space and people in it. I've worked in a few other co-working spots in Christchurch but this has been my favourite to date. The open cowork space has desks with monitors and plenty of power points/adapters for screens etc, multiple quiet booth/hubs for private work/calls and easy to book meetings rooms. The facilities are nice and modern with good coffee, plenty of space inside and outside for breaks and a nice friendly community of people working from the open cowork and the private offices upstairs. Jack who runs PH is friendly and approachable plus has some great flexible options to suit anyone looking for an office or place to work.”

“We’ve recently moved Mainland into two of Jack’s office spaces at Powerhouse, and we couldn’t be happier. The space itself is modern, comfortable, and has such a great feel to it. It's perfect for meeting clients and for our team to work from day to day. Jack’s been an absolute legend to deal with, friendly, professional, and genuinely keen to accommodate whatever we’ve needed along the way. It’s great to have such an approachable local landlord who really cares about his tenants. Highly recommend both the space and Jack himself!”

“I've been enjoying @ThePowerhouse Coworking since the start of 2026. Out of all the coworking spaces I've experienced - this has to be one thats warm, friendly, and full of camaraderie - with a bunch of strangers, who fast become work colleagues I enjoy connecting with. The space is great and comfortable, Jack is a great host and will lean over backwards to help you - if you accept his challenge of a silent game of ping pong (it is a real thing). If you've not tried it before - try it, if you want community - you'll get it here in spades. Thanks for creating something special Jack!”

“I love it here! I'm self-employed and work from home, and one day a week I come in here to do admin work. I love the atmosphere, such lovely people. Lots of natural light and very affordable! Highly recommend.”

“I used the hot desk option at Powerhouse for a day and honestly loved it. The vibe was great, lively but still super easy to focus. They set me up with screens I could plug straight into, and the whole space just felt really comfortable to work in. Awesome spot if you want a fun office atmosphere where you can still get things done! Thanks for having me <3”

“I joined Powerhouse late last year as a remote worker. I use the casual hot-desking area regularly and have found it to be a great alternative to working from home. The space is friendly, welcoming and well set up for a productive day. Work is made all the better for it!”

Kate S. Remote worker, hot desk Google review · Mar 2026

“Absolutely loved working here! It’s such a beautiful office space. Myself, and a lot of my colleagues, mentioned we didn’t want to leave! Jack was friendly, approachable and made us feel welcome. Ernie, the little dog, was loved by us all and definitely got lots of pats. I’m sure this business venture continues to go really well for Jack and the team!”

Danielle Google review · Dec 2025

“I’ve been using the hot desk option as a freelancer and have been loving the space. The office is very sunny, the wifi is speedy, and there's an outdoor area to have lunch in the sun. Pricing is very affordable and Jack is very flexible and accomodating!”

“I recently started working from Powerhouse on Peterborough Street, and it has been a real game changer. The space has a warm, modern atmosphere that is both professional and relaxed, making it simple to focus, connect, and enjoy going to work. The team behind Powerhouse are really easy to deal with and clearly care about creating a genuine community within the office space. If you’re hunting for a comfortable, inspiring place to get things done in the city, Powerhouse is absolutely worth checking out.”
