endota spa Wellington (previously Forme Spa & Wellbeing) — Local services in North Island

I booked here for the rejuvenate package for my 30th birthday with a friend. When I made the booking I requested separate rooms, however we were put in the couples room. Which we thought, oh well it will be all good. But the room was right off reception so was very noisy everytime someone was talking in reception, so was hard to relax. The room was very cold, especially when our skin was wet for the scrub, we were both very cold.

The website said to arrive 15 minutes early (which we did) to fill out paper work which there was no paper work. I was surprised there was no paperwork to note down what pressure massage you like. The ladies were lovely but the massage itself was very soft, I didn't feel much.

One of the poor ladies was sick/or allergies and was sniffing throughout the massage, which was very hard to relax. I understand these times with short staffing, but felt sorry for her having to work while unwell. I feel the manager should have suggested she went home.

The website showed some lovely pink chairs with foot baths, but this was not what it looked like where we had our foot baths. The website mentioned Jade rollers used for the facial but I do not recall these been used.

We left feeling underwhelmed and dissapointed with the whole experience. We paid $320 for 2 hours so were...

My partner had been in Wellington for a conference & I was flying over to spend a few days with him. Decided at the last minute I needed to visit a day spa, so I called Forme from Melbourne on Friday, and was lucky enough to be able to book a package for Saturday morning. Very much appreciated that they were able to accommodate me at such short notice. My therapist was Arabella, and she is my new best friend. I've been a massage therapist since 2002, and have worked in day spas, and Arabella impressed me so much with her skills & her passion. On the Saturday I had a facial, a manicure & pedicure, and I was so impressed with her that I booked in for a massage for the Monday morning. My skin was just amazing after the facial. I hate the hard sell that many day spas do, which is a real turn off, so I appreciated not getting that at Forme. I was recommended some specific products, but not a huge overwhelming range. I find most day spa massages to be disappointing, but Arabella is FANTASTIC. If it wasn't a 3 hour international flight, I'd be there every 2...

I’ve had a massage 3x now because I had a gift voucher. First time I was not impressed with stroking instead of massaging. Second time I asked for a deep tissue which was far from a deep tissue. More a relaxing massage with slightly more pressure. 3rd time wasn’t bad, but more of a relaxing massage still. She did ask how I wanted the deep tissue to be this last time ‘ or only pressure points’ or a combination. The first option didn’t sound appealing so I choose the combination. It was nice and relaxing but not what a deep tissue is meant to be, and I promise you I’ve tried many. I honestly think the girls are not trained on deep tissue but more so on a relaxing beauty salon massage on which they do a great job for sure. For the deep tissue massage I wouldn’t go there again. Overpriced and not the results I was hoping on. Hard to find parking space in the area as well. Very friendly and welcoming staff,...
