What $429/Month Actually Gets You (And What It Doesn't)
25 February 2026 · 4 min read

Monthly membership is $429. That works out to ~$19.50/day across 22 working days. And we think it's worth being completely transparent about what that includes and, more importantly, what it doesn't.
If you're not ready to commit to monthly, we also offer casual visit packs: 5 visits for $225, 20 visits for $860, or 50 visits for $2,000. All have a 6-month expiry and work across any of our locations. There's no single day pass. The minimum is a 5-pack, but at $45 per visit it's a fair price to try the space before committing to monthly.
What you don't get
Let's start here, because this is where most coworking spaces oversell themselves and we'd rather not.
- No receptionist. There's nobody at a front desk greeting you. You get a PIN code when you check in on your dashboard, and you let yourself in.
- No barista. There's a kitchen with tea and coffee and a kettle. It's BYO milk. No oat-milk lattes being prepared by someone called Jasper.
- No lobby. You walk in and you're at your desk. There's no "breakout area" with beanbags and a bookshelf full of business books nobody reads.
- No phone booths. If you need to take a call, you can step outside or find a quiet corner. We don't have purpose-built phone pods.
- No meeting rooms. Most of our locations don't have a separate meeting space. If you need a meeting room, we're probably not the right fit for that particular day.
- No events. No networking drinks. No "lunch and learn" sessions. No forced community building.
If any of that stuff is important to you, we completely understand. There are coworking spaces that offer all of it. They charge $500-700 a month for it, and that's fair.
What you do get
- A desk. Your own individual workstation with dividers on either side. Not a share table. Not a bench.
- A monitor. Every single desk has one. Plug your laptop in or use it standalone.
- Fast internet. Commercial-grade WiFi. We pay for proper business internet because tutoring uses it too. Kids doing online lessons can't have the connection dropping out.
- Air conditioning. It works. It's not a talking point. It's just on.
- Quiet. Our spaces were designed for teenagers doing exams. They're genuinely quiet. No open-plan buzz.
- Free parking. Every location has free parking. If you're coming from school drop-off in Killarney Heights or Frenchs Forest, you're not going to circle the block for 15 minutes looking for a meter.
- Power. Every desk. Obviously.
- Kitchen access. Tea, coffee, microwave. Simple.
Why it's $429 and not $700
The maths is embarrassingly simple. We already pay rent on these spaces for Better Tuition Academy. The internet is already on. The power is already on. The desks are already there. The monitors are already there. We didn't do a $200,000 fitout with polished concrete and pendant lighting.
Our marginal cost for letting someone sit at a desk during the morning is close to zero. Which means we can charge way less than places that had to build their space from scratch and amortise a fitout over five years.
That's the deal. No frills, but everything that actually matters for getting work done. Start with a 5-pack and come see for yourself. We're across Forestville, Belrose, Gordon, and Mona Vale.
