Location is important when you book a meeting space, and when you book with Ideas Cartel, who have central locations near the V&A Waterfront and Cavendish Square, your meetings can seamlessly blend into a day of networking, dining, or even after-work fun. Book by the hour or the day, for everything from smaller scrum meetings to full-day strategy sessions – they even do corporate retreats.

Ideas Cartel has defined itself as a premium coworking work-play-and-stay hub, for businesses, entrepreneurs and digital nomads, who come from anywhere and everywhere – from Joburg to Germany, the US, France, the UK, Holland – because Ideas Cartel's working and meeting spaces are fully kitted for plug and play.
Each Ideas Cartel location has a main boardroom and meeting room, both of which can comfortably seat 2 to 20 people. The spacious design allows teams to collaborate and engage freely with each other for a strategy day or company wide conference.
Uncapped wifi, a 55” TV and great sound system mean your presentations run smoothly. The buildings also have a generator so you won’t have to worry about power cuts.

The decor is not drab either, it reflects the people you regularly encounter, entrepreneurs, business owners, corporate types.
Sleek wooden tables, plush carpets and high-vaulted ceilings ooze old-world charm at The Old Foundry in Green Point. It’s a five minute drive from the V&A Waterfront, where you can treat your client to dinner at Sevruga or drinks at TimeOut Market.
Ideas Cartel Claremont is trendy and homey, with its leather couches, floor-to-ceiling windows and bespoke wooden desks. It sticks to the stylish composure they’re known for and is a short stroll away from Cavendish Square, making it the perfect base for business and leisure.

Planning a corporate retreat can be a logistical nightmare - unless, of course, you leave it to Ideas Cartel. Hosting your next retreat at Sonnekus, a wholesome and homely seaside manor, means one thing: you don’t have to lift a finger. Everything is arranged for you from accommodation and dinner, to team building activities and facilitated workshops.
When you’re taking breaks between meetings, you can stretch your legs on the opposite beach or you can arrange a wellness experience for your team. There’s wine tastings, high teas, kayaking, yoga, and more at Sonnekus in Kalk Bay.

Ideas Cartel will make sure your retreat is hassle and headache free. Image: Ideas Cartel
