Yelpers of Sydney - you should be ashamed. How can this place not yet be reviewed?
Newtown Thai Massage is nestled between the Cat Protection Society and local hipster cafe Silverbean - opposite the Enmore Theatre.
While the bored looking ladies in the waiting room may not be a stellar selling point I urge you to ignore their break-time lazing as they are wonderful.
When I lived in Sydney I visited this palace of pain whenever I could afford it - which was about once a month as they are relatively inexpensive. I've since moved to Hobart and miss these guys dearly. A return visit to Sydney is not complete until I let these ladies inflict twelve different types of pain on my body.
You may think I'm joking, however my "remedial massage is for ladies" husband was recently heard pleading with one of the ladies to "be softer" with him, as he couldn't handle the pain.
I recommend the traditional thai massage - 1 hour for $59. You will walk out of there a different person. Don't be surprised if they ask you to remove your shoes so they can wash your feet before your treatment, this seems to be standard practice no matter what you go in for.
An important note: while they have a website, they don't actually see anything that comes through the booking form. You're better off calling in advance or just turning up. The most I have ever had to wait for a massage is 15 minutes, though, so it's hardly an inconvenience. read more
