South Hive is a boutique coworking space set inside a renovated warehouse on Market Street, right in South Melbourne village and just around the corner from South Melbourne Market. It was fitted out to keep the building's original character, exposed brick, high ceilings and plenty of natural light, rather than stripping it back to a standard office fit-out. The space is split between around two dozen dedicated workstations, including some stand-up desks, four private studios that suit teams of one to four people, and a boardroom-style meeting room with video conferencing gear for up to ten people. It's designed for small and medium businesses and corporate teams who want a mix of privacy and shared space, rather than one big open-plan floor. Membership includes barista-made coffee, a private phone booth for calls, kitchen and shower facilities, and access to the meeting room. The internet runs on a fast fibre connection, which matters if your team is on video calls most of the day. Parking is limited on site but there are other options nearby on the street. South Hive also has a reputation as one of the more dog-friendly coworking spots in the area, so it's worth asking about their pet policy if you'd like to bring your dog to work. It suits freelancers, small teams and corporate groups looking for a quieter, more boutique alternative to the larger coworking brands in South Melbourne, with the market, cafes and trams all within easy walking distance.
