The concept

A new model for working mothers.

Mama Haus is building a new model of maternal economic infrastructure: a calm, beautiful place to work, with children aged 0-3 cared for by trained nannies a few steps away.

We opened in Melrose Estate, Johannesburg, in March 2026. Mothers book a day, a half day or a membership, work at a proper desk, and stay close to their little ones. The model is built to be repeated, community by community.
