During my time at the Abstract Hotel I enjoyed 90 minutes in Sa Ni Spa
My therapist Molly gave me one of the best Thai massage experiences I have ever had. Molly mixed some oils which included the haunting scent of Jasmine and lady of the night - Molly told me that this combination was the most requested by her clients so I asked for that scent.
Molly’s touch was gentle just how i wanted it. The whole experience relaxed me so that i had the best night’s sleep I’d had for months - she was very well informed and the 90 minute treatment was over way too soon. I felt like putty in Molly’s hands. It certainly was like a journey for the body, senses and mind.
From the moment I stepped into the serene haven of the Sa_Ni Spa, I felt an immediate wave of calmness. The air was infused with the delicate aroma of the oils I had chosen. Molly’s healing hands and soft voice transported me to the sun-drenched landscapes of Bangkok and Thailand.
The spa was a perfect blend of elegance and comfort, with plush cushions and warm, inviting hues. I had the best experience and I would recommend having a treatment with Molly.
As the massage commenced, I was struck by the therapist's expert technique. Combining rhythmic acupressure, deep stretching, and gentle rocking, the massage was both invigorating and deeply relaxing.
The massage ended with a head and shoulder massage that felt like pure bliss to me The therapist’s skilled fingers seemed to melt away all the cares of the day. Afterwards I had a nice peppermint tea as I chatted to the...
Read moreI don’t usually get massages, and I don’t usually write reviews. But my husband just treated us to an epic couples massage and I need to rave about it.
From the moment we were welcomed through the doors, the outside world instantly faded and the blissful journey began.
Firstly, we sipped on Butterfly Pea Flower tea ( alarmingly purple in colour but surprisingly tasty and soothing ) . Then chose which one of the many gorgeous essential oils to go with. Had to be citrus. I do love a good citrus .
My friendly masseuse Kanchan took the time to listen to my concerns ( ongoing lower back issues ) and the massage itself was not only exceptional, but eased the pain and tension.
My husband was equally impressed with his masseuse Jay, so relaxed he couldn’t speak til later.
If you want to be pampered, body and mind, I would highly recommend putting yourself ( and your loved one if you choose the couples massage )in the expert hands of these amazing spa therapists.

Read moreVisited back in June. While the overall experience probably deserves a 3 star and the staff and atmosphereis a 5, the massage it's self was a 1 star.
I've had both professional massages from half a dozen NZ therapists over the years, as well as in Bali and Thailand.
The massage was similar to a $20 massage from overseas. Not at all what I've come to expect in New Zealand.
It felt like the therapist had no training and had no Awareness of where the muscle groups were or what to focus on. Most areas were brushed over 2 to 3 times in the 90 min full body treatment.
The atmosphere is very relaxing, staff age...
