Had better massages from my cat, sadly. After spending $225 I couldn't help but leave disappointed. During the massage i did request for firmer pressure twice and also ticked firm on the form but this was by far the most gentle massage i've ever had. If you like the feel of someone just running their hands over your body then this is the place but unfortunately my cat gives more pressure when he walks on my back with his paws.

Came here for a relaxing message. Staff are quite friendly. Prices are a little more expensive than Elysium, but you do get the change rooms and the pool(If open). Close to where I live, would defiantly come back here again.
A great thing here is the beautiful location and parking. Easy to find and free parking.

I had the ‘Head and Sole’ treatment done today by Louise and it was incredible. I have had a lot of massages and my message today was the best I’ve ever had. She was so gentle and her movement just flowed of which made the experience so relaxing. I definitely will return! The other staff were also lovely and in is a beautiful building!

Three words, mid-week wellness. Amazing place, would have 5 stars but lately I've noticed a bit of a drop in standard of cleaning. My locker was dirty, there were a few areas that needed a little more attention. That said, this is a beautiful place which could be back to 5 stars in no time, just needs a bit more careful attention to detail. It presents at 5 star and charges 3.5 star prices so I think you really cannot beat it. The sanctuary is beautiful and one of my favourite parts, the massages have been good. The relaxation lounge is very peaceful. The booking process and speed in which emails
