How to keep costs low (smart booking tips)
Pick the right‑size room
If it’s just you and a client, the Meeting Pod is the most affordable, private choice. For small teams, workshops or board‑style client reviews, choose the Main Meeting Room to get a large screen, camera and whiteboard.
Bundle with a Virtual Office
Running regular meetings? A Virtual Office plan gives you a professional business address (ASIC/ABN/Google‑ready) and 50% off meeting room bookings, which adds up fast across a year.
Book only what you need
Use hourly for short sessions in the pod; step up to full‑day if you’re delivering a longer workshop in the meeting room. If you need to stay and work before/after, consider a hot desk or dedicated desk for focus time.
Leverage on‑site facilities
Avoid extra runs to the shops or printers. We provide tea, coffee, filtered water and fast Wi‑Fi, plus an on‑site printing service for any handouts you forgot.
Getting here, parking & local breaks
Salt Space is located on Brunswick Street, New Farm—close to the Valley and easy for visitors to find. See detailed directions and transport options here: Parking & Transport. There’s free street parking nearby, and plenty of local spots for lunch or a coffee stroll in between sessions. Browse the neighbourhood: New Farm area.
Breakout & workspace before/after your meeting
If you or your team need to work on either side of the meeting, you can grab a hot desk, book a dedicated desk, or explore breakout spaces for quick huddles. If your business outgrows ad‑hoc meetings, take a look at our office/studio options or desk plans for small teams.
