Reviews

My wife and I came for a couple massage while visiting Queenstown - found this gem tucked up an unassuming staircase. As soon as we walked inside we were greeted with a friendly smile and offer of tea. The space was warm and clean and inviting. Both of us agreed it was the best massage we'd ever had! Absolutely recommend.

Came back to Queenstown after a 6 day hike and I was sore everywhere. Booked in for a deep tissue massage and I walked out of there floating. They were very thorough and listened to all my requests. The space was calm, clean and quiet. Very lovely staff and easy to book.
Kathleen Steel
The first time of massage in my life was so good. I was really excited until I got the Thai oil massage. The massage got me very relaxing, comfortable and my body was soothed by the very nice power of the massage. I’m glad to get this time. Thank you so much

Received an excellent massage yesterday. I had a small spasm in my shoulder blades, and she worked out the many knots that had formed. Really good pressure. I have had many deep tissue massages over the years and the Thai massage was one of the best I have ever had. My wife also went for a massage and loved it as well.

After 2 weeks driving and exploring NZ I knew I'd prefer a massage to the 3 hrs canyoning the teens and hubby wanted. By far the best decision ever - as the signature massage has left me so relaxed and moving parts of my body I thought were permanently stiff. Warm room, clean and tidy with relaxing music - her hands were expert and 45mins of bliss and I think the best massage I've ever had..
Sarah Bailey
Just had the most amazing deep tissue massage here and probably one of the best I've ever had. The masseuse had excellent attention detail taking the time to make sure to cover all the areas thoroughly. Pressure was perfect. Feel much better afterwards! Will definitely come back. Thanks :)
Chris Arrowsmith
Highly recommend! The massage was excellent, and the staff were very professional and catered the service my individual needs. A must do in Qtown to relax those sore muscles.

My wife and I did the 60min couples massage - it was the perfect thing after the long flight to NZ! each of us enjoyed the location, professionalism, and results.
Mark Harding
Best massage. Exactly what I needed after 3 days of physical activities in Queenstown. The two ladies were amazing who massaged my partner and I. Will go back again if I’m travelling here again. 10/10
Jesse Zammit
What a great massage. Lovely place and staff. Very relaxing one hour massage and really good. Well worthy of a visit and as opposed to some other Thai massage places the massage beds very comfortable. Dee Mak Mar.
