FAQs
Good to know.
Some of the things you may want to know. Anything else just reach out hello@theroom.au
Is there a reception?
Yes. The room is staffed 8am to 4pm on weekdays. Outside those hours members come and go with their own access.
What are the hours?
Monday to Friday, 8am to 7pm, staffed from 8am to 4pm. Evenings and weekends are kept for events and private hire.
What if I want to work late?
You can. The upstairs workroom stays open to members after hours, even on event nights. Events almost never have access to the top workroom or the production room.
Can I see the space first?
Tours are by invitation. Join the waitlist first, and if it feels like a fit we will send you a link to book a time.
How do I become a member?
Membership is by application. Join the waitlist and you’ll hear first when applications open. Then it’s a short conversation about fit, you pick a tier, and you get access.
What does membership include?
Premium workspaces, two bookable meeting rooms and a call pod, bookable monitors, a discount on podcast facilities when they open, the maker space, a barista made coffee a day, local business and industry partner discounts and more…
Can two people share a membership?
Yes. Studio and Resident can be shared between two or more people.
What if I only need the odd day?
Base membership is free and lets you book a ground floor desk on the days you want to come in. Rates come in writing with your offer.
Is the coffee really free?
One barista made coffee per member, per day, from the café next door. After that, members get 10% off at the café.
Can I bring clients or guests?
Yes. The meeting rooms exist for exactly that, and guests are welcome with a member. An hour here and there is fine. We just ask that it isn’t leaned on: guests are a courtesy, not a second membership.
Can I hire the room for an event?
Yes, after hours and on weekends. Weekdays are kept for members. Write to events@theroom.au with the date and the idea.
Where are you?
121 Avoca Street, Randwick. Royal Randwick shopping centre, parks and good local restaurants are around the corner, and the light rail and buses stop nearby.
Is there parking? Can I bring a bike?
Street parking is free. There are two-hour spots close by and unmetered spots a few blocks away if you want to try your luck. There is secure bike parking on site, with entry from the back lane.
Can I book the podcast studio?
Members book the production room through the members’ portal. Recording hire opens a little after we do, and members get a discount when it does. Podcast sessions and shoots from outside The Room go to events@theroom.au.
