Testimonials

  • Wonderful space, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. This was a gap that needed to be plugged, and the Business Hive has done a good job in creating a breakout space for the business and general community.

    Debrina PE

  • I work out of the Hive and it is a great place to work and people super friendly and helpful.

    Liz Walker

  • The best place to meet like minded people and get in touch with great minds that are willing to help or put in touch with someone that can. We highly recommend this establishment for any small business owner to help further their knowledge and contacts. Thanks team for everything!! Especially the laughs!

    Rebecca Palmer

  • I moved to Oamaru in 2020 and used The Business Hive as a base while I was waiting for my home office to be set up. Once it was, I carried on using the space simply because I liked it so much. It's an excellent, super-friendly environment, and the new premises - right in the middle of town - are well-equipped and beautifully designed. Alex and Cara are professional and gracious hosts, and will look after you whether you need a desk for a few hours or an office for the year. The Business Hive is highly recommended, and a great addition to the town.
