Beauty salon
East Day Spa, established in 2002 by Ina Bajaj, is a renowned oasis located near Lambton Quay in Wellington. With seven treatment rooms and a focus on exceeding expectations, it offers over 70 treatments inspired by Southeast Asian holistic medicine. The spa provides an intimate and relaxing experience for couples with luxurious massages. Visitors can expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the reception staff and skilled therapists who ensure comfort throughout the visit.
I recently visited East Day Spa and had a Balinese massage, and it was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was calm and welcoming. The staff was friendly and professional. The massage therapist took the time to ask about any areas of tension and tailored the session to my needs. The pressure was perfect—firm but never painful—and I felt my muscles loosen up with every stroke. The therapist also focused on my lower back, which had been bothering me for weeks, and by the end of the session, I felt significantly better. The entire experience was incredibly relaxing, from the soothing music to the calming scents in the air. I left feeling rejuvenated and pain-free. I highly recommend East Day Spa to anyone in need of stress relief or muscle tension relief. I’ll definitely be coming back for another session soon!

I would say it was the best spa I’ve had in Wellington! I’ve booked a Yatra Spa Package that started with a relaxing lounge area with beverages then a lovely foot scrub and soak and finished with a full body massage as well as facial. Very relaxing atmosphere and wonderful, attentive staff. Thank you for making my day and will definitely go there again!

I had an unexpected turn of events happen and the lady who handled my phone call first was amazing! To follow that, the manager Barbara was even more amazing for being so accomodating and understanding for my circumstances. A massive thank you once again to you ladies! :)

Went here for a pregnancy massage. The massage was nice and my muscles definitely felt way more relaxed afterwards. The decor and waiting room are lovely. Would have been 5 stars if they had one of those tables with a hole in for your bump. They provided pillows to make lying on your side more comfy but would have been nice to lie on my front.
Helen A — Google review
I came for a pregnancy massage. The massage and the atmosphere were both nice. Unfortunately the lift wasn't working which wasn't ideal. I was disappointed with the booking system. It would have been helpful for the system to list available appointment times instead of having to email back and forth to find a time that suits. I had a voucher and included that in my booking however they booked me for a longer massage without telling me which meant that I had to pay more at the end. All in all it could have been a better experience and I won't be coming back in a hurry.

If you want to go somewhere to feel pampered and special this is the place for you. I would give it 10 stars if I could. The relaxation room is total bliss and all of the therapists are warm and friendly. If you ever wanted to try a spa experience come here first

Spa
Spring Spa is a contemporary sanctuary located in the heart of the city, offering a sleek and airy paradise for relaxation.

A luxe salon experience in the Wellington area! We were recommended by a friend who is local to the area. Booked in for two Margaret Dabbs Supreme Pedicures and one Margaret Dabbs Supreme Manicure. Ni Gede Ern was so meticulous with both the mani and pedi, especially when it came to the cuticle work. Booking was a bit of a hassle, and we had to re-confirm multiple times over the phone and in person to ensure we were getting the right service on the right day. Not much in the way of parking nearby, though there are limited spots on Jessie St.

Fantastic Spa in Wellington! I had the Hydration Facial and it exceeded my expectations, the procedure was very relaxing and the additional shoulder massage was just enough to really remove all the stress. The therapists are incredibly skilled and they use quality products. Highly recommended!

Had a 75 minute Hot Stone massage here the other day, and it was honestly the best massage I've had. Calming music, the lady asked what type of pressure I wanted and checked if I was fine with the temperature of the stones. Would definitely go back!

Excellent customer service and friendly staff. Camille at the reception was very friendly and attentive with customers. The place is clean and has a good ambience.

Absolutely loved the pregnancy massage really got into all the tension and knots in my shoulders and gentle on the areas that didn't need to much attention. The room was quite small but once my treatment began It didn't matter and some calm music could be added to the room or as an even as a option because I could hear what was happening outside of the room. I'm booked in to return because it was the best massage I have had.

I’m really disappointed. The staff was nice whom did my eyelash extension yesterday. The type of my eyelash extension was classic as I would normally go with this nature style when I was in Auckland. However, even though I followed the instruction been given by staff that not to wash face till certain time of period or splash water on to them in the shower, when I woke up this morning and tried to brush them- quite a bit came off. I was so shocked as I never ever had this kind of situation before after an eyelash extension. The worst experience ever on an eyelash extension service. 😩

The spa has different types of massages to choose from, such as Thai massage, deep tissue massage, sports massage and aromatherapy massage. All of the therapists at Manees are experienced and friendly, and you'll leave feeling rejuvenated and restored.
Amazing massage. Felt great afterward. Been walking around Wellington exploring the hilly town for a few days in a row. So, when I told the masseuse that, they knew exactly which areas of my body to target. They listened when I asked to focus on particularly sore areas. Often checked in to see if the pressure was too hard or too soft, as well. You could tell that they could feel all of you tight knots and tender spots without much guidance. Would definitely go back.

Bizarre experience with Sarah - paid for 90 minute deep tissue massage. Half way through asked if I could have more massage around shoulder blade - Sarah told me I should go somewhere else as it hurts her fingers to massage and kept insisting she had massaged me before though it was first visit. I asked if I could have another masseuse and she said no and then said she will finish one hour and refund rest. Though I paid in card could only get cash for refund. Incredibly rude if they had said upfront they can’t do deep tissue I would have gone elsewhere. Have had so many massages and never had this experience, ruined a relaxing experience

I had a fantastic 90 minute Thai massage there this morning. My masseuse was brilliant, firm when she needed to be and then gentle. It was so relaxing I fell asleep towards the end. The room was clean, welcoming and warm. I felt amazing afterwards. Thanks so much!

Booked online half an hour before the appointment time. Greeted pleasantly and seen too quickly. Massage was good! Great amount of pressure and the masseuse (I didn’t catch her name I’m sorry) was really helpful I’m trying to get me to relax and ease tension to get the most out of the massage. I work as a radiographer, always on my feet and carry a lot of my stress in my shoulders so always in need of a massage. I will be returning

Health spa
Float Well, located in Wellington, offers a unique experience with its special float tanks designed to promote muscle recovery, mental health, and stress relief. Founded by Kevin and Samantha in 2016, the spa provides floatation therapy that allows clients to escape their worries and stresses. The therapy involves floating effortlessly in a heated, soundproof pod filled with Epsom salt water.
My partner and I had a great experience this weekend for his birthday! He loved his float and I really enjoyed my sauna. We were looked after by Holly and she was amazing! So welcoming, friendly and made our experience better than i imagined it could be. I find a lot of spas to be a little intimidating but this was so homely and comfortable. We will definitely be visiting again!

Did the contrast therapy with a friend during a quick trip to Wellington. It was so clean and calm, lots of helpful little amenities, really beautiful space too! Enjoyed the actual therapy session however we were not greeted with a warm welcome. Our calls were consistently ignored, this was an issue as there was no access to the place. We had to wait for a couple to leave so we could enter the building and not lose our time slot.

A serene haven characterized by the tranquil atmosphere fostering relaxation and stress reduction. It's a place where the senses are soothed, promoting calmness and a sense of peace. A well-maintained environment that enhances the overall sense of serenity. Floating recharges me, and I will continue to go.My husband and I did the couples float, and he is totally hooked as well. Well worth it!!!!

I had a contrast therapy session at Float Well and honestly—what an experience! The mix of hot and cold therapy was intense but incredibly refreshing. As someone who lives with endometriosis and chronic pain, I found the sauna especially soothing—there’s something about that deep, consistent heat that really helps relax the muscles and ease some of the tension I carry daily. The space is calming and beautifully set up, and the team made me feel super comfortable throughout the whole process. You can tell they really care about creating a supportive, healing environment. I left feeling clearer, lighter, and way more in tune with my body. Highly recommend for anyone managing pain, stress, or just needing a reset!

I’ve been to Floatwell a couple of times, using the float tank and cold plunge on different occasions, and I absolutely loved it. The float tank is so relaxing – it really helps me unwind, and I tried the sauna and cold plunge together, which was amazing for recharging. The space is gorgeous too – so calming and beautiful. Highly recommend it!
Anna B — Google review
Floating has been fantastic for my pain management and mental health. Over the years, I've floated nearly 30 times, and every time I emerge from the experience, I feel physically lighter and emotionally supported. I recommend floating to everyone, especially those who experience emotional pain in their bodies. It truly is a wonderful tool for overall well-being. I used floating as a support during my fertility journey. It helped me process my feelings after my miscarriages, and I even realized I was pregnant with my now daughter while floating. I continued to float throughout my pregnancy, and it was incredibly beneficial.

Grace Patisserie is a charming pastry shop located in the capital city region of New Zealand. It was founded by Mariah Grace and Andrew, who offer a delightful selection of hand-rolled croissants, French pastries, macarons with Asian flavors, and bespoke cakes for special events. The small and cozy shop opens at 9 am from Tuesday to Sunday, serving morning coffee and staying open until 9 pm on Friday and Saturday nights.
My first visit to this beautifully styled Cafe with pastel tones and peaceful environment, I must say I was very impressed . The food looked amazing, little pieces of art in the display case. We had the croissant which was divine, a soft paste inside with a crunchy flake outer, best I have had for awhile. Service was spot on, friendly but very professional. I will be going back as I want to try the high tea which looks amazing.

So happy that we discovered this lovely dessert cafe. This is exactly what Wellington needed. We have tried something different on the menu every time, we are always amazed at the amount of flavours, textures and excitement every dessert brings us. The staff and owner is very welcoming.

Very thoughtful touches through out, have a look at the opening hours - great place to meet after work and extended hours over the weekend. We can't wait to go back! :) Raven and Hugo

What beautiful desserts! Every single one of them is no less than a piece of art. The flavours, finishing and texture are just wow. I took home some macaroons for my 3 year old and he instantly said "yummy" after having a bite. I am not a person who enjoys sweets. But even I enjoyed every mouth full of these beauties.

Step into the 1930s at Hawthorn Lounge, a cocktail bar that prides itself on crafting classic drinks with top-notch ingredients and no frills. The dark wood and leather decor sets the mood for an authentic experience, while the impressive selection of spirits behind the bar adds to the allure. Whether you're a cocktail enthusiast or just curious, this speakeasy-style establishment promises to transport you back in time with its dim lighting and mirrored walls.
Brilliant choice of cocktails. Cosy, speakeasy vibe. Staff friendly, knowledgeable, and absolutely charming. We asked for several cocktails not on the menu, and boy, did they deliver.

Buoy Salon & Spa is an award-winning establishment dedicated to providing exceptional services and boosting the confidence of its clients. The team offers a wide range of services, including hairstyling, hair treatments, spa treatments, and appearance medicine administered by an in-house registered nurse. They use top-notch equipment and products to ensure the highest standard of care. Clients praise the experienced and knowledgeable stylists who make them feel special.
I can’t recommend Mel enough!!! I chose her after reading reviews that said she really listens, and it’s true! She understood exactly what I wanted, offered thoughtful advice, and was careful not to take off more than I asked for (a rare quality in a hairdresser). I have long, fine hair with soft layers that had started looking frayed when unstyled, so I needed a refresh. This time I asked for a blunt cut with some face framing while keeping the length, and she nailed it. Shout out to Tessa as well: she washed my hair with Kérastase and gave a gentle massage (I’ve had rough experiences at other salons where my hair was tugged and pulled). The little extras are a nice touch too: they’ve got a full menu of drinks, from coffee to different teas. AND they offer a student discount, so I paid $129 to see a master level hairdresser!

This is an amazing place. I gave pretty limited details and the hairdresser (Ra) took from that and made my hair look so lush and healthy and thick - and the cut is stylish. Ra is the best hairdresser I’ve ever been to - and I 100% recommend booking him if you can. Thanks Buoy!

I first went to Buoy back in 1998 and I returned here a few years ago. The service and the experience they provide is awesome. From the moment you arrive and Eddie greets you and takes your jacket; to the latte with a whittakers chocolate and sparking water with lemon; to the actual hair colour, wash and massage, cut, and style -it's perfect. I truly enjoy my time at Buoy every 5-6 weeks. Everyone is kind and personable and the service is great. I would never go back to a generic salon!! Thank you everyone at Buoy!

What can I say about Buoy. Incredible experience every time. For a guy who gets a full colour every few months it’s important to feel listened to and not rushed through the process. The whole team is great at this - from walking in and being looked after by Eddie (or any time I had to call with a question, change appointment or anything else) to Daniel’s amazing service, care and attention - always ready to have a chat about whether it’s time to shake things up and becoming a real, valued, friend to me - to the great colour and result I walked out with. Buoy has been a wonderful piece of care and made me feel great about myself so often!!

I love going to Buoy for my skin treatments and products. They always take such good care of me and the vibe is always friendly and upbeat. I credit them for my now consistently good skin and will forever be grateful to them for that. A special shout out to Eddie who is a ray of sunshine and always so kind and lovely. Thanks Buoy team!

I had the pleasure of having Ranjith as my therapist for my first waxing experience, and I couldn't be more impressed! From the moment I arrived, she was incredibly accommodating and made me feel at ease. She took the time to explain the process, reassuring me that she would be gentle, which really helped calm my nerves. Throughout the session, she was friendly, professional, and attentive to my comfort. I felt completely at ease in her care, and the experience was much smoother than I anticipated. I highly recommend Ranjith to anyone looking for a skilled and caring therapist!

I am absolutely thrilled with the services I received from Mariana! She did an amazing job with both my lashes and my waxing. The lash application was flawless—she took great care to ensure they were perfectly placed and gave me the perfect volume. As for the waxing, it was virtually painless, and she was so professional and thorough. I felt completely at ease throughout the entire experience. I’m so impressed with her skill and attention to detail, and I can't wait to return

The lady I had was so kind, asked me if I wanted her to go slow or fast, also told me to let her know if I needed breaks, she created such a calm and lovely atmosphere and she also did an amazing job! Super thorough and my legs came out looking superb! I will definitely be coming back regularly as I’m very happy with the results☺️.

Takeout Restaurant
Fast food restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Lower Hutt, Bay's Takeaway is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious comfort food. With excellent bus connections to Wellington and nearby areas, it's easily accessible for a quick bite. On my recent adventure, I indulged in their fish and chips along with potato fritters. While I mistakenly received two potato fritters instead of the paua one I had hoped for, the Warehou fillet was a delightful surprise—large, fresh, and perfectly crispy!
30/4/23 - On mission in the Southern burbs to hit up Island Bays crowning jewel. Meal: Fish n Chips and potato fritters Total cost: $12.40 Not off to an ideal start as I thought I ordered a paua fritter but got two potato fritters 🤦🏽‍♂️ Anywho… Fish - (Warehou) nice large fillet with a great crust on it. A tad bit greasy but that didn’t detract from the beautiful tasting fillet. Fillet was clean and fresh and boardering on melt in your mouth territory! Chips - Hand Cut!!! Cooked well with a nice bite and soft on the inside! Portion size was generous. Took with me two pieces of buttered bread with Best Foods mayo which was an excellent accompaniment to the fish and hand cut chips! The chips were damn near perfect! Well worth the Sunday drive out from Petone! The shop is right next to the Island Bay bar. There is a car park and access from the back of the shop.

First time here. We ordered Singapore noodles, fried rice and Beef with black pepper sauce. Was told it will be ready in 30min, they were ready in 20min. Phone was ringing non-stop and people were coming in and out, very busy take away. The food itself was good. Portion was large. Will visit again.

i was trying to remember why I hadn't ordered a favourite of mine for a while and I realized when I got home to enjoy it why I had stopped ordering it. Hot pepper beef, not so hot, and going as far as saying it was just bland. This dish used to be full of whole chilli peppers, hence the name "hot pepper" now nothing close to any hot pepper flavour.. This place has lost its quality to profit and cost cutting. Shame I won't go out of my way for an Asian dish at this place anytime soon.

Indulged myself to fish and chips for Xmas treat. The fish of the day was Warehou, a decent size compared to other shops and crumbed nicely. However the chips were no longer than 2" in length appearing to be cheaper ends/offcuts. A decent length chip would be nicer to savour the flavour.

One of the best fish and chip shops in Wellington, they also have tasty burgers and good Chinese food. Due to their popularity they get really busy on Weekends so allow for a wait when ordering.

The fish was fresh, really meaty and substantial and the batter was thin and crispy. Nothing is cheap these days, but this was a very satisfying portion. The hand cut chips were also delicious.

Extremely disappointed by the service. Made an order online. Went to collect 25 mins later, just to find out they thought it was a prank because of how large the order was (Over $100). They had my contact details and failed to contact me to confirm. Then waited an additional 45 mins to complete order (person behind counter said it would only be 10 mins which was an obvious lie). If you’re going to have “pay at counter” as an option at least reach out to confirm with the details provided if you have concerns. The fish n chips were mediocre. Attached a photo to show that I actually ordered. Cheers.

If you're looking to make your home more energy-efficient, the Sustainability Trust is a fantastic resource that I can't recommend enough! They offer free home energy assessments tailored specifically to your unique living situation. During my assessment, they provided invaluable advice and even helped me with practical solutions for heating issues in my house. For instance, they measured for custom curtains and crafted warmth-retaining options that transformed my chilly space into a cozy haven—all at no cost!
Love this place. Great selection of phone and computer cables if you’re ever looking for one - well organised too. Also tools, screws, fabric, computers, and all sorts of useful second-hand (but good condition) stuff. A great place doing great work for us all. Please support them!

I went to this organisation to get a subsidised heat pump. They were quite rude and said I didn’t need one because I have a gas heater (what’s sustainable about that?) and that the cost of heating my house was irrelevant. They also put me on their mailing list without asking.

When I moved into my house the 12ft stud made it almost impossible to heat. The Sustainability trust took my measurements for curtains, showed me several lengths of good heavy curtaining they had on their shelves, and sewed my choice into fitted warmth-retaining curtains that have made my house a warm and snug home. For free!

I booked a free home energy assessment with Sustainability trust and I found it incredibly helpful. I feel so grateful for this (free!!) resource for those who need it most.

I highly recommend this place. I have been coming here for several years and have always been extremely happy with the massages I receive and the professionalism of their service. All of the therapists are trained in traditional Thai massage and provide strong or less-strong massage. They have always made sure to understand any problems that I have and to make sure that the massages are working to address those. I appreciate how they ask and adapt their technique in subsequent visits if I, or they, think the results could be improved. The additional stretching they can provide has been helpful to me. Since I have been coming most of the therapists have been Thai.

A few tips if you want to try out this place: 1. The place is buried under a narrow suspicious staircase next a parking lot. The interior is feeling unsurprisingly like a dungeon. If you are claustrophobic, this is not the right massage place for you. 2. Be aware, they do NOT take credit card, and they don't tell you when you book either. The nearest ATM is 10 min walk away. 3. Although their website says $75 for 60 min of Thai massage with oil, it is only the price of "relaxing" one. You will find out at the front desk the regular deep pressure Thai style is actually $85. So prepare your cash accordingly. Judging the massage itself alone, I'd rate it 3 out of 5. It was not authentic Thai style, but it was not weak either. I might be wrong about this, but I think the two masseuses we had were speaking Vietnamese instead of Thai (I got the impression from their website and the shop name that they are authentic Thai), and constantly chatting over the room separation throughout our session. All in all, if you have only one chance to try massage in Wellington like us, I wouldn't recommend this one.
Fang F — Google review
In Wellington for a short holiday and decided to treat myself to a (hopefully) good Thai massage. I was not disappointed. I highly recommend Amarin. I've had Thai and other style massage all over the world, I mostly prefer Thai deep tissue massage (it hurts so good!). I always feel that an hour isn't long enough for my the masseuse to get through my big body but on this experience they did an admirable job. I recently injured my back and they were very conscious and obliging around my concern and managed to still work me I to a sweat, knead those darn knots our of my muscles and help me relax and recharge. The price was a bit higher than what I usually pay in Auckland ($65) but it was within walking distance of my hotel (5 min) and the only legit looking Thai massage place in the CBD. Which makes the price totally worth it. I will be back again.
E S — Google review
Easily one of the best massages I’ve ever had. My masseuse was so kind, professional, and great at what she does. The other guy who showed up seemed a bit useless, but it’s a holiday and maybe he was filling in? No matter, she made it impossible to be anything other than delighted with the experience. I highly recommend treating yourself to a massage here. I did the 90 minute oil massage and I’m refraining from having another one tomorrow!

Not only was she brilliant skill wise, she also checked in to ask if I'd like the distraction of chatting or if I'd prefer some quiet to zone out. After a long day and my work being a customer-facing role, I was so grateful for the offer to shut off for a bit. It turned out to be a strangely peaceful appointment - something I have never said about a wax before. Very grateful and will definitely be returning. Thank you Reema!

The Rub is a massage salon where you can enjoy a relaxing massage. The masseuses are professional and friendly, and apply great pressure. The only downside is that they try to get joints to move during the massage, but this is something that users are used to now. Overall, the experience was very good and subscribers would recommend it to others.
We accidentally stepped upto the place and glad we found them at the heart of Wellington. The place and the interior itself gave us a strong impression. Have to book appointments in advance. Prices are comparatively affordable and worth the single penny. The have different combos for different prices. The entire place is very tidy and neat. Once you entered, you feel so calm and relaxed. Their service is excellent and even we can obtain membership for free of charge. So you can get a discount next time. Yuki did a great job. I was suffering from a shoulder neck pain for so long and it relieved now and I had a good sleep. She is vey knowledgable and experienced in what she is doing. Finally, we got the membership as well.

Yuki gave a great massage after 24 hours of flying to Wellington from London. She seemed to locate the areas that were tight without me having to point them out, which was great.

I was gifted a massage as a birthday present and was very excited to experience my first professional massage - but this was very disappointing. First my booking was double booked so after travelling into town from out past the airport, I had to wait around for over an hour to be seen. Next the actual massage (Neck, shoulders and back) was more painful than anything and I am still feeling pain in my shoulders two days later. No part of the massage was relaxing and when it was over, the lady left the room without saying a word and I had to figure out for myself that the massage was over. Very disappointing, will not be coming back.

Booked a time at 11:55 for two people where the board said there would be two therapists free, got a text 30 minutes later saying I would have to get them one at a time. That was fine. When I got there turns out two people booked AFTER us and they gave our booking away then told me that they could only fit one massage in for 15 minutes cause they were too booked. Do NOT come here if you want an actual confirmed appointment, horrible management and there is no one at the actual front desk to help you

Wonderful. I didn't have an appointment. A group of 3 of us all had the full massage and reflexology. It was wonderful, relaxing possibly the best massage I have had.

Only down side was todays music choice and hearing everyone outside the shop, while your trying to relax, be nice if they played something tranquil, calming rather that todays pop. And having a open barrier at the entrance to block some of the noise. Otherwise great would return.

The Tory Urban Retreat is a well-known inner city spa with over six decades of experience in wellbeing. The tranquil and peaceful setting is perfect for taking a break from the city life, and the team of therapists are skilled in providing massages, sauna and float pad therapy. The prices for treatments are good, so it's a good choice if you're looking for a holistic retreat.
Highly recommend! My husband and I went in to celebrate our anniversary he had float pod, I tried infrared light and hyperbaric oxygen chamber we then had saunas and finished with the best massage! My therapist was chi chi, and she was so lovely and did a wonderful massage! My husband was too relaxed to remember his therapist name🤣, but he felt the same! Jaimie who was our lovely host made us feel so welcome and explained everything to us newbies. Highly recommend, thank you all for a lovely day😊

Too hot and too cold for women - as the science says “women are not small men” - I used to love coming here but the temperatures have been altered and now it’s too hot in the sauna and too cold in the plunge -sad to see the Tuesday women’s only evening is shrinking to only 2 sessions and this could be why. It has become uncomfortable and actually doesn’t even feel safe anymore. But the people are lovely and facilities are great otherwise.

I visit Tory Urban Retreat for their sauna and cold plunge every week and I have to say, I’m hooked! The combination of the soothing heat from the sauna followed by the invigorating cold plunge leaves me feeling absolutely rejuvenated. My muscles feel relaxed and my mind clear. On top of that, the staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home. It’s become a must-do for me now. Highly recommend giving it a try if you haven’t already!

I've been meaning to try this place out for months. I was a bit of a chicken as I'm totally unfamiliar with sauna etiquette. The website is actually super helpful and detailed in this regard. I started gently on a woman's session. The young woman in charge, Jemima, did a great job of explaining everything and making me feel comfortable. The sauna is amazingly hot and the pool shockingly cold. Everything is very well organised and I felt SO relaxed after. I just went to a mixed session tonight and it was also great, a wee bit more social as I got chatting to a few folk in the pool but still very chill. You can go alone or with mates. A wonderful alternative evening out or start to the day. Thank you so much team!

This place rocks. I came here a bit when I was living in Welly. Ever since I left Welly I haven't been able to find anything as good. Was craving a session and being back here tonight reminded me how epic it is, I can't recommend it enough ! The sauna is properly hot with 2 doors to insulate. The plunge is properly cold 5-6 degrees. Etiquette is great. Staff are amazing. Whole process is mint. Gr8 value for money. Proper zen afterwards. ill be coming back every time I'm passing thru Welly. Chur !

This place is pretty cool. lots of natural light in the room and the cold plunge is properly cold. only thing id say is maybe i didnt see it but I wish there were clocks by the sauna and the cold plunge with a timer for the seconds going by! esp by the cold plunge. but otherwise no critiques, its in a super convenient location and its nice and clean. The guy who I presume runs it is really nice, will say though you guys need to crack down on the regulars a bit, they talk too much and wayyy too loud lol. Regulars sometimes rly can act like regulars and be kinda obnoxious so i'll say it for you - u guys need to pipe down!!! but as for the actual place its pretty neat and ill be back, warning though girlies I rly recommend only going on a tuesday or a thursday bc you WILL see multiple nude men otherwise and it disrupts the flow state a bit cant lie, but tues and thurs is apparently women only which is so awesome that they offer that

Andrew Y — Google review
WOW !!! I have been walking past Bali Jasmine's footpath sign for over a year and I keep telling myself to come visit :) I finally managed to spare some time for an appointment , and I am so pleased that I did. Bali Jasmine Massage is not like a clinic it is like visiting an aunts house and its filled with comfort and homely energy, if you are looking for something high end and fancy this place is not for you, but if you're looking for something cosy and relaxing then this place is where it is at. Jasmine (my therapist) is old school - her massage is very traditional and very authentic Bali !!!! - her pressure is amazing she worked into the pressure starting from a medium and then gradually worked deep into my tight spots. she knew exactly where to pull where to push and paid more attention to the places where I was having trouble. Im a massage therapist myself and my entire body ceases with tension from working full days. She managed to get every nook and cranny that needed relief it was amazing. Her energy alone is beautiful , its kind and loving and she gives a motherly touch to her massage. I am super relaxed and left in bliss. The Space is small but all you need - its warm and clean and the beds had electric blankets on them which made for an even more relaxing moment of peace. the linen and towels were also clean and the whole place just felt like a space of zen. My only complaint which really isn't a complaint is I wish the music was louder - but that's just me I enjoy having loud relaxing music in my ear. What a beautiful experience and also very affordable - I had the 90min massage at $135 which is a bargain considering the effort and care she put into my appointment. Highly recommend this hidden gem of comfort , relaxation and renewal Thank You Auntie for such a lovely start to my crazy day Glory xo

Lovely woman! Very very nice and I feel bad about posting. I felt like the pressure was all over the place, either it really hurt or it was really just rubbing my skin. It felt like most of the time she was hitting bone and tendons and not muscle (not the arms, she was fantastic on arm massaging). Also I bought the GrabOne one hour hot stone massage and instead I got an hour full body. At the end when I told her, she said I should have given her the voucher code first, but she never asked about that OR what kind of massage I wanted so I assumed she knew because she texted me my name which she could have only got from the voucher. Also I mentioned I had a voucher on the VM I left her to book the appointment. Lovely woman, I’m glad there are lots of great reviews, but I didn’t have the best time :(

Gggruchy G — Google review
I didn't want to leave this review as I felt guilty because I know it's tough for business currently but I felt that I should considering I reached out to the company and was told that it was my body not agreeing with the masseuse hands. We went for a couples massage. First time away from our baby in months so was super excited until the massage started. My masseuse who apparently has 30 years experience performed what I would consider to not be a massage. I have experience Balinese massage on many occasions and have travelled to Indonesia so I usually love the style. This was extremely erratic, rushed, areas completely missed and forgotten. It was almost as if though the masseuse was in a rush with the other masseuse. There was about 15 minutes of touching my back at random points through a towel without any actual massage. She completely missed most of my legs. I have multiple knots in my back and not a single one was found. There was rustling of paper towels every time she touched my neck and my shoulders only got massaged when I was laying on my back which was awkward and uncomfortable. All in all it was a very weird experience. I thought I was being punkd. My partner said that his was ok. I messaged the owner to let her know of our experience and she basically said it was because my body didnt react to the hands of the masseuse and it couldn't be her fault because she has 30 years experience. I'd be very concerned if she had 30 years experience. I get a better massage when I badger my partner at home.

Went into this shop with my wife who intended to purchase a hardcopy book and pay with applepay on her watch. The woman behind the counter says they do not accept this payment form and could a card be used. Unfortunately wife did not have a card so she left the shop to see me. Behind her back, shop woman sniffs to colleague ‘so much for the watch!’. My wife had come out to get my card, we did not go back in. The rudeness towards customers!
