Super Chinese Massage and Acupuncture — Local services in South Island

These Guys are crooks😡 After 12 days of mountain biking I was sore & in need of a decent massage. I requested 90 minutes. The receptionist came in just prior to commencement & up-sold me & “better treatment”, with “medicine” in the oil for my sore muscles & bruising $185. The girl was just digging her elbows in & not doing much at all .... then, when she really hurt me, I turned quickly, only to see that SHE WAS ON HER MOBILE PHONE !!! I was seething quietly to myself & about 20 minutes later when it felt similar, I turned around to catch her again !!! I spent the rest of the appointment trying to decide whether to just walk out or to refuse payment but decided the repercussions could adversely effect the last two days of my holiday. The final stab, after being shortchanged for time, which I was almost thankful for, was the sneaky $6.50 charge for oil. They knew I was angry but seemed smug, I guess with so many tourists, there is no reliance on return customers ! I gave one star only because I couldn’t...

I went to try and relieve some knee pain I was having after skiing (my hips and glutes had become very tight). The person who I talked to seemed very friendly and knowledgeable. She knew exactly the likely issue areas, tested some spots for tightness and recommended the packages for me.

The first 30 minutes was the sciatica massage. It was relaxing and nice but the pressure was non-existent so I got no benefit from it.

The next 30 minutes was the knee pain massage. A different masseuse came and did this (I didn't know until half way through which was a bit weird). Anyway, again, not enough pressure to have any effect. She also messaged the knee itself at one point which is just bone so I don't think that does anything?

In the end I had to get my partner to try to release my glutes so I could do a hike the next day.

I would definitely recommend this place for a relaxation massage because mine was decent in that regard, however, I cannot recommend it for a...

The lady/owner was very friendly and nice and it wasn’t the worst experience we had! The massage was ok if you enjoy getting elbowed into those niggly knots or if you like a pressure massage which I do! But I think it was mostly elbows.

I did leave feeling nice and loose but it would have been nice to get asked which pressure I’d like as there was parts where it was pretty sharp. The guy I had was also noticeably farting, and my partner had the lady who kept going in and out to help other clients coming in and leaving him 2 to 3 times.

I also don’t understand how our price came to be so expensive $298 for two people full body deep tissue massage? So I’m assuming we got charged for the oil and rocks that I had for 2 seconds or something or I got overcharged but I thought deep tissue was more so I didn’t ask about it until I noticed later.

It was an ok experience but could be a lot...
