Salt Cave Halotherapy & Wellness Centre — Attraction in Devonport-Takapuna

I first started going to the Salt Cave almost a year ago and have been very pleased with it Being a person who believes in correcting misleading and false information I have taken it upon myself to speak up about the review placed by the following person. (Please Note: there has been no discussion with the owner of the Salt Cave about my decision to write this, nor any discussion with him about the review itself, nor any encouragement from the owner to write a "good review")

Firstly the location is NOT in the middle of no-where, it's 10 mins drive off the Motorway !!! (..If that's considered in the middle of nowhere then someone has their navigation WAY off track) Re there being nothing to do in the Therapeutic Salt Cave: does this person want a live rock band in there?? ! or the 6pm news on TV in there?? ! The very essence of the salt cave is to fully relax and have a calming environment, and lie back and breathe in the therapeutic salt (a person is not there to be "entertained")

You mentioned the place is "so dirty"? I personally have only found it to be spotless. You say there was lipstick on a glass? Well that's because you probably grabbed a glass from next to the water fountain that a client had just drunk out of, most people would just put the glass aside and grab a clean one from the stack. As for hair on the floor - well I have never seen this in all the times I have been to the facility, but a simple note of this to the owner and he would have had it swept up in no time, same with the sauna bed (which each person lays on a towel in anyway)

From what I have seen the owner of the Salt Cave Centre is one of the hardest working professionals in the natural health industry. He provides a valuable service to people genuinely wanting to improve their health, and regularly gets very...

I visited Prashant at the Salt Cave for a colon cleanse. This service was very new to me and Prashant was very welcoming to his clinic. He is very passionate about health and longevity and is very knowledgeable. Having been a little nervous due to the nature of this service, Prashant makes you feel very comfortable. It is quite private upstairs which is great and a very homely feel. With this clinic it's important to keep an open mind as it is quite a Hollistic vibe. During the process Prashant talks to you the whole time and is very caring. The cleanse takes one hour and Prashant leaves you for about 15mins after for you to feel comfortable and get changed. Afterwards he gave me a tour and I was very impressed, especially with the Salt room, floor to ceiling walls of pink Himalayan Salt, it was stunning! Post cleanse I felt exhausted for about a day and a half and then started to feel very light and I gained alot of clarity and clear mind. The clinic is very east to find with great parking right outside. Post care Prashant touched base with me several times to ensure I was well and this was such a good quality of service you don't see in this current day. Thankyou Prashant for a wonderful experience I will sure to be back. I would recommend for those who are interested in a...

So here is our story... I took my wife here, seeing as this is such a top rated spa... this was part of a birthday celebration.

we left 10 minutes into the salt cave experience... and here is the reason why...

a dead plant greeting us upon arrival at reception should have been the first sign that this was going to go downhill fast...

The owner is very informative but rushes through everything - He runs this place like a sausage factory - literally running and shuffling the customers between the treatments, from arrival this is the case - you wait, then he shuffles, then he talks to you for 5 minutes, and as soon as somebody is ready he rushes off to assist and shuffle...

I have lower back problems, and after 10 minutes in the salt caves I had to leave, as no way of lying or sitting was comfortable.

I am not going to comment on the healing benefits of Himalayan Salt - we just wont be back because of the owner (lack of attention, and rushed way of doing things) and the dirty premises.

P.S. We went to a pub and shared a meal with a beer - money way...
