A very relaxing experience and highly recommend to go to Metita Reestaurant after in the same Hotel Building. It has the same Spa like relaxing ambience and beautiful decor, customer service and the food is amazing!

You get what you pay for. No truer is this saying when comparing beauty treatments around the…read moreworld. Sure, I've had a massage in Bali that costs all of $12, but spend ten times that at East Day Spa and the experience is elevated to perfection. From the first welcome accompanied by a cup of peppermint tea, to the calming music and beautifully appointment treatment rooms, everything is carefully thought about so you can spend time focussing on being relaxed. A massage here is exceptional, with the therapists obviously holding a high amount of training and experience. Sore legs? They'll spend more time on those when you tell them beforehand. A little knot in your left shoulder? Don't worry, they'll find it and gently knead it out. Don't worry about walking out feeling like an oil slick as they'll use hot towels to remove excess oil before giving you an oil-free face massage. This small attention to detail is what sets more expensive massages apart from cheaper alternatives. And it's not just massage they do well at East Day Spa. I've had facials and pedicures and every time I've walked away feeling relaxed and happy knowing I got exactly what I hoped for. In my eyes, that's money well spent.

I was introduced to "Be Pampered" from a 'Grab One' skincare/facial offer (a great deal for sure)…read morefrom $130 reduced to $29 so I jumped at the opportunity to 'get pampered'. I booked online which was really straight-forward. They send 'reminder' text messages about your appointment which is super helpful. The location is in Parnell, quite easy to find however not great signage once in the building (which I mentioned). There is a unmanned reception area that had a hand-written sign advising for you to 'sit down & wait'. This needs addressing I think? They offer waxing from $15, lashes & brows from $20 & Joyce Block facials from $55. The beauticians are friendly & professional; I will be returning for another treatment now I know where to go!:)

Don't waste your money or time…read more My fiancé and I treated ourselves to a "upmarket" spa package to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. Hands down this was the worst massage and spa treatment either of us has ever had. The spa is cluttered and doesn't feel clean. The treatment rooms were cold and damp, the ladies had to turn on a heater and place extra towels over us to keep us warm. Our 1 hour massage was the worst we have ever had. On several occasions the masseuse put far too much pressure over bones or joints causing pain. None of our muscular tension was relieved and we felt more tense after. We wanting to leave even prior to our 1 hour facial. The facial that followed was as bad if not worse. The products were cheap, heavily scented and left the skin feeling irritated and heavy. Very disappointing considering this cost us over $400 and we left feeling more stiff and sore and less relaxed.

When I first got there the door at the main entrance wasn't working so I had to go around to the…read moreother side of the building. I rang the bell on the intercom and the woman said that she was opening the door. The sliding doors did not open. I called back and she asked me if I was on the side of the Chinese restaurant and I said yes and the doors still weren't working. Anyway I got in (as someone used their key to enter and I followed). Once upstairs I found out that the appointment I made the night before was not in their system. At first I thought to myself, perhaps it wasn't meant for me to go there however the young woman at the desk was so pleasant and she went to seek advice (I guess). In the meantime I messaged the person that I was messaging back-and-forth last night and they offered me to sit in the sauna prior to the service as they would be able to honor my appointment just at a little later time. I must say the young woman who I did not get her name, but she was from France, did a spectacular job! I had a two hour massage and I wish I could've laid there for another two hours. I had requested a foot reflexology and wish that could've been a little longer however I will definitely go back when back in Auckland.

The first time I had ever heard of this place was through a Grab One deal for 12 months of IPL…read more(laser hair removal) for $250. I have always said to myself, whenever I can afford it I will get IPL. Well at this price I could, so without thinking or researching the place I grabbed the deal. I guess this could be seen as being quite silly of me, but after having taken the risk I have no regrets. I really rate Royal Beauty! At Royal Beauty they perform a number of treatments from IPL, waxing, nails, skin therapy, and much more. Having just recently renovated the premise, it looks 100 times better and so much more inviting. I really love what they have done with the place as I feel it will make it more appealing to public who have never heard of them before. I can be the first to say I was incredibly sceptical when I first arrived at their location. I have been going to Royal Beauty for over a year every 4 weeks for IPL treatments. I cannot rate this product enough, I love it. The results give you the confidence to do anything! Especially in summer times when there is a lot of maintenance to be had. Tania and Nancy are the owners and absolutely lovely women, the would be more than willing to help you out with any questions or queries.

After a stressful week I love coming to Hadtawach in Newmarket. They specialise in traditional Thai…read moremassage and beauty care. I love their massages because they're minimum an hour (which I feel is only just long enough to truly relax and unwind) and are affordable. Their massages are either 60 minutes, 90 minutes or 120 minutes. They do traditional Thai massages, aromatherapy massages, hot oil massages and my favourite the Swedish and sports massages. They also perform facials, body scrubs and hot stone spas. There is no need to book as they do accept walk ins. Before your treatment they kindly given you some green tea, and give your feet a quick scrub before showing you to your room. After your massage or beauty treatment they have another cup of green tea waiting with your shoes. Hadtawach is located down a funny old looking drive, but seriously, this place is 100% legit and I have only ever had a fantastic experiences here! I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. If Newmarket isn't convenient and Freemans Bay is, there is another store located on College Hill.
