How to Get the Most Out of Basestation as a Coworker
Whether you're visiting Basestation for the first time or you're one of our regulars, why not make the most of your time with us?
Celebrating 11 Years of Coworking, Community, and Creativity
It’s our 11th birthday on 6th November 2025!
To celebrate this milestone, we’ve created a timeline that captures the journey of Basestation, from our humble beginnings in 2014 to the vibrant coworking community we’ve become today.
Over the past eleven years, we’ve seen incredible growth, welcomed countless residents, hosted inspiring events, and watched Tauranga’s startup and creative ecosystems flourish. Each milestone on this timeline represents not just what we’ve built, but the people, ideas, and collaborations that make Basestation what it is.
Here’s to celebrating where we’ve come from, and looking forward to what’s next!
Why coworking is perfect for small business
Running a small business is exciting, but let’s be honest, it also comes with its fair share of challenges. At Basestation, we want to make sure that finding an affordable office space, managing overheads, juggling flexibility, and staying connected to others isn’t one of them! Coworking offers small businesses the best of both worlds; a professional environment with built-in community, flexibility, and shared resources that make day-to-day operations easier and more cost-effective.
Community and connection through volunteering
5th December is International Volunteer Day (IVD), a day that acknowledges and celebrates the spirit of volunteerism at local, national, and international levels. Established in 1985 by the United Nations General Assembly, IVD highlights the importance of people-led solutions to shared challenges.
Numerous reports cite the many benefits of volunteering, including increased wellbeing, improved mental health, boosted self-confidence and self-esteem, and greater life satisfaction, and that’s just on a personal level!
In recognition of this, we wanted to showcase how residents at Basestation support charitable organisations by volunteering their time and skills.
Connection and Kai at Basestation
Part of the human condition is to be social and find connection and belonging.
With remote working on the rise, more people are looking to join a coworking space so they can connect with others on a regular basis rather than just working from home.
At Basestation we understand the importance of connection and belonging, so we host regular events and opportunities for our residents to connect, network and create belonging together. Here are just some of the events, initiatives and opportunities we've hosted or got behind in the last 6 months!
