I've worked out of Frasers on Mt Eden Rd, Deluxe on Carr Rd, and Gilli in Newmarket in the past 2 weeks - all fine.
r/aucklandNovember 2024 Auckland Central Library is great. On Tuesday - Friday it closes at 8pm it's super quiet and best of all it's free.
r/aucklandApril 2026 Hours, amenities and photos for Auckland Central City Library
O3 Cafe on Carlton Gore Road - https://www.o3space.org/locations - can get 3 hours free per week via their app - Can buy more hours if you want to stay longer or use it more regularly, but a cool spot to break up the monotony from WFH.
r/aucklandApril 2026 Devonport Library is a public library located in Windsor Reserve, Devonport, New Zealand. The library is part of the Auckland Council Libraries library system. The newest iteration of the library was constructed in a modernist style in February 2015.
Go upstairs on Devonport Library which has the best view of the Auckland Skyline and Harbour.
r/aucklandJuly 2025 The Auckland Central City Library is a public library located in the Auckland City Centre, New Zealand. The facility is the main branch of Auckland Libraries.
Yes, the Central City Library is great.
r/aucklandApril 2023 I've worked out of Frasers on Mt Eden Rd, Deluxe on Carr Rd, and Gilli in Newmarket in the past 2 weeks - all fine.
r/aucklandNovember 2024 Newbie in Newmarket is pretty decent, it's a pretty noisy place due to it being one of the entrances to the office complex, but I've camped here for a few hours on my laptop with noise cancelling headphones, the food, pastries and coffee here is very good, although it is at the pricier end.

Free WiFi without a password :) ... Bench with wooden seat and padded back. I liked it initially, but didn’t feel like I could sit there for too long. ... my overall favourite would have to go to Ozone in Grey Lynn. I got heaps done in this café
Ensemble MagazineJune 2025 this café boasts a cosy, wooden setting and you could easily perch yourself there for the day using their speedy Wi-Fi.
