Firm to deep
Moana Riki
14 years · remedial and sports
Works into knots properly and will warn you the next day will ache. Books out three weeks ahead. Ask for her if massage has felt like a wasted hour before.
Open seven days · six therapists · one couples room
Most spas sell a fixed package with something in it you did not want. Here you pick the time, then spend it however you like, and the price moves as you go.
Two rooms free today
Vouchers valid three years
No tipping, ever
Free parking off the lane
Choose how long you have. Add what you want until the time runs out. Anything that will not fit greys out, rather than quietly extending your appointment by half an hour.
Your 90 minutes
10 minutes still to spend
Your ritual
Full body massage and Scalp and neck
Close enough. The last few minutes go into settling you and getting you upright slowly.
02 · Included, always
Spas love an add-on. These are the things we think are part of the booking rather than a line on the invoice, so none of them appear in the price.
The rest room
Afterwards, for as long as you want it. Tea, a blanket, and nobody tidying around you.
Your pressure, checked twice
Once in the first five minutes and once halfway. Say firmer any time and it changes.
Unscented oil
If you are pregnant, sensitive or just dislike lavender. Same oil, nothing added.
A room with a window
All four treatment rooms have one. None of them are converted cupboards.
Heated table
On in winter without being asked. The single most common thing people mention afterwards.
A shower, if you want one
Two of them, with towels. Useful after a scrub or before going back to work.
No sales pitch at the desk
Products are on a shelf. Nobody will talk you through them unless you ask.
03 · Afterwards
Every booking includes the rest room afterwards for as long as you want it. Herbal tea, a blanket, no music with words in it, and nobody coming in to tidy around you. Most people stay twenty minutes. Some stay an hour.
04 · Your therapist
The commonest complaint about massage anywhere is that it was too light or too hard. So we list what each therapist actually does and you book the hands that match.

Medium, even
Jess Ngata
9 years · relaxation and pregnancy
The safest first booking if you have never had a massage. Trained in pregnancy work from twelve weeks, side-lying with bolsters rather than a hole in the table.
Light to medium
Aroha Setu
6 years · facials and lymphatic
Does most of our facial work and has the gentlest hands in the building. The right choice if you bruise easily or are recovering from illness.
Firm, targeted
Daniel Cho
11 years · neck, jaw and headaches
Specialises in head and neck. If you clench at night or work at a screen all day, this is the appointment that actually changes something.
90 min built ritual · Napier
I have never been able to say no facial, all shoulders anywhere else without it being awkward. Here you just tick it.
Deep tissue with Moana · Hastings
She warned me I would be sore for a day and I was, and then my neck was better than it had been in two years.
Pregnancy massage · Havelock North
Thirty one weeks and Jess had the side-lying setup ready before I asked. Booked the next four before I left.
Couples room · Waipukurau
Anniversary present. Two different rituals side by side, so he got the sports one and I got the facial.
05 · Never had one before
What you take off, what stays on, where the towel goes, what happens if you fall asleep. Read it before you book rather than working it out while lying face down.
