City Cave Bulimba

City Cave Bulimba is a wellness centre on Oxford Street offering float therapy, infrared sauna, massage and red light therapy. The core services can be booked separately or combined into packages, with memberships and gift cards also available. Massage options include remedial, sports, pregnancy and relaxation therapies, and some remedial sessions may be claimable through private health insurance using the centre’s HICAPS terminal.

Float therapy takes place in a private pool filled with highly concentrated Epsom salt water, heated to body temperature. The float pool is about the size of a double bed rather than an enclosed pod, making it suitable for people trying the experience for the first time and for couples. The centre describes floating as a way to reduce external stimulation and support deep relaxation, while its infrared saunas use radiant heat rather than heating the surrounding air. Red light therapy can be added to a sauna session.

The centre’s approach is built around private rooms, considered sensory details and hygiene standards, with the broader City Cave network positioning its treatments as science-led support for relaxation, recovery and stress management. Packages include Flauna, combining infrared sauna and float therapy; Floatage, pairing floating with a 45-minute massage; Saunage, combining sauna and massage; and Complete Wellness, which brings together all three core services. These options give solo visitors a choice of focused treatments, while the couples float and combined experiences offer a wellness-oriented date option.

City Cave Bulimba is located up the colourful alleyway above Betty’s Burgers, beside Place Estate Agents, with ample street parking nearby. It serves locals from Bulimba and surrounding Brisbane riverside suburbs, including Hawthorne, Balmoral, Morningside and Norman Park. With a 4.9 Google rating from 271 reviews, it may suit anyone looking for a dedicated space to reset, recover or try a float, sauna or massage session.
