I've been going to Collective for more than a year. After moving to Queenstown from Las Vegas, I…read morewas looking for a good place to continue my usual hair routine, which at the time consisted of regular highlights and trim to my then long strawberry blonde hair. A friend at work recommended Collective, and I've been going ever since. The expert hair stylists there took my hair from light strawberry blonde to a brilliant and bright vibrant red. I love it! People often complement me on it and ask where I get my hair done, and I can't recommend this place enough. I've had almost all the stylists there work on my hair, and they are all excellent. Aside from just the talent, the salon's casual but chic interior creates a relaxing environment to get pampered because let's face it, some of those more intense hair colour changes can take a while, and you want to be comfortable. Plus, they offer complimentary refreshments and a library of gossip and fashion mags to read, so there's plenty to keep you entertained while waiting for your colour to develop. My next big hair transition will be from my current dark red to blonde, and I can't wait to see the results. If you're in Queenstown and looking for a place to get your hair coloured, cut and even styled for a special occasion, this is the place to go.

Oh, YOU WON'T be sorry for choosing Body Sanctum ! One of…read morethe BEST spa & massage I've had in a super long time!!

After some online research, I booked a facial and massage combo at Body Sanctum. I knew I would…read moreneed one after traveling for 3 weeks and it was such a relaxing experience. My massage therapist was Po (sp) and she was amazing. She was welcoming and had a positive vibe. I like a lot of pressure and she delivered. She asked where I needed focus, to which I said my shoulders. My left shoulder muscle is tense, like you can feel the that band of muscle is tough whereas there are tiny knots on my right shoulder muscle. She knew exactly what to do to and really worked them! My shoulders feel so much better! And my facial with manuka honey was fantastic, especially the head massage. Po asked if it'd be okay if there's oil in my hair, which was fine with me. Seriously say okay to this! The massage almost put me to sleep, but I wanted to stay awake to experience every moment. I assume she can do the same without oil, but it probably wouldn't have been the same intensity. In the lobby, there are comfortable seats to relax before and after. There's also water and ice tea. I recommend Po and Body Sanctum if you need to pamper yourself. Treat yo self!

I've been seeing Deborah for 8 years now and she's awesome! She really listens to what you want and…read morealways nails the colour and cut. I get so many compliments on my hair. Having curly hair, it's hard to find someone who knows what they're doing and is super nice too -- Deborah's both. She's done my daughter's hair for regular cuts, formals, and family events, and you can tell she really cares about her clients. Definitely highly recommend her as a hair stylist in Queenstown. You'll leave looking and feeling fabulous!

This place is worth it! I came in after a 30hr transit from the USA and it's like the flight never…read moretook a toll on my body! I got the 90min relaxation massage and it's exactly what I needed. It was my lucky day because for about 45min of the massage, there were 4 hands on me!, meaning two people were working on me at no extra charge!!! Wow, was it wonderful. The space is small but clean and privacy curtains make it a very personal experience. One thing to note is that is doesn't get completely dark which my interrupt your relaxation but it isn't that bad. Bottom line -- I recommend this place and wil be going back on my last full day here before my flight because it was that good.

This is my 2nd ever Thai massage. I thought #1 in Melbourne was the best (ha-ha) but this one was…read morebetter. It's hard to rate stuff if it's your 1st experience since you have no basis for comparison. The masseuse must've tried ever trick in her repertoire to get the muscle knots out near my shoulder blade and she was mostly successful after going at in twice. This is how you spell r-e-l-i-e-f, aah... The focus of massage #1, was my aching leg. The focus on this massage was my muscle knotted back with some leg action. Special price today was $85NZD for 45 minutes reduced by $5NZD. That's about $57USD, a bargain worth every dollar in either currency. I was a walk in today but they do make reservations. Try it. Your body will thank you.

What a nice and caring professional she is. I highly recommend shop if you're ever in Queenstown Australia, which is absolutely beautiful. As a visiting American, I'm odd by the beauty of this town and the friendliness of the people in it. And again, I highly recommend the wax room and Emily!!

We booked this place strictly because we added a few more traveling in our group. Indeed it is…read moreclose to the airport and only about 3.5 miles to "downtown" where all the fun and shopping is in Frankton. The views (minus a few power lines) are incredible - not only water but mountain views too. This "apartment" has 4 nicely appointed bedrooms... very clean (looks like pretty new construction) and what made it "great" was the owners Josef & Moto. The spa downstairs was nice to schedule massages and they were pretty flexible on the times. The kitchen had nice smaller sized refrigerator and freezer. There is also a good assortment of utensils, silverware, plates, cups etc. The sofas provided nice sitting area and there were extra patio type chairs we added for extra seating. I know this sounds silly but AMAZING water pressure (like maybe be careful so water from the sink doesn't splash everywhere!). Decent bath & hand towels (no washcloths). Robes in all the bedroom closets. Also for each bed had electric blankets (were on and toasty!) as well as individual room heaters. There was a washer available (No dryer but dryer rack to hang clothes) & they had soap (We did purchase some & donate) available. The only negative (and it wasn't too big of a negative for us) was they didn't include breakfast for groups or during winter which we didn't realize. Nicely, there are a few decks of cards, scratch paper for score keeping, books to read and TONS of brochures & travel books for the area. Nice! We would definitely come back to this place again!

You have your choice of coffee or tea-- loved the head massage. The conditioning treatment and blow dry were amazing. Her organizational skills awed us as she timed it all with such precision - I can not recommend Emma enough and wish she was in our backyard. We live in the states and were anxious for a color mid trip. She is the ONE!!!
