With a variety of services available, including remedial massages, couples massages, and private group salt therapy sessions, Toowoomba Salt Cave caters to individual needs and group events like hen’s parties, birthdays, and corporate workshops. The business also offers custom spa days for larger groups, combining services like head and shoulder massages, full body massages, hypno-meditation, and salt therapy.
