- susanjQ165KA0 contributionsAnswer to a prayerMy hotel concierge suggested Body Sanctum, and I scheduled a 90 minute remedial massage focused on sacral/hip pain I was experiencing on a very active month-long trip to Australia and New Zealand. I requested a practitioner with a very strong touch. Sulu was the answer to a prayer. She had a firm, confident touch and responded readily to any expressions of discomfort. She gave me the best massage of my life, and I left the spa feeling as if I had a new body. I was impressed that the scheduler had responded so perfectly to my description of what I wanted. It was an all- around excellent experience.Written 15 February 2024

I just received a 60 minute massage from Nate at Body Sanctum and it was the most incredibly relaxing 60 mins. He worked through all of the tight muscle areas around my neck and shoulders and then moved onto my legs, feet arms, hands and neck in the most perfect flow.
It was divine from start to finish. The room was warm and cosy, atmosphere was wonderful and the heated beds made me melt into my massage.
I highly recommend Nate and the team, I'll be back 100%

Had a 45min Manuka honey facial with lovely Lorene. She is a very friendly Beauty Therapist, who is also professional, skilled and knowledgeable, making the whole experience very relaxing. The skin products used were also excellent and my skin felt amazing and hydrated. I will certainly return to the wonderful Body Sanctum Spa for another facial with Lorene when next on holiday in stunning Queenstown.

Not all that good, massage rather confusing and over priced doesn't feel professional or co-ordinating.
The salon also chops and changes there opening and closing hours regulary without changes of this on google or their voicemail opening hours message.
Some staff seem friendly although the atmosphere over all in the salon is dull.

Hi there,
Thanks for writing your feedback to us here - would you please be able to reach out to Lexi on marketing@bodysanctum.co.nz so that we can resolve this for you?
I have to say I'm very surpsrised with all of the points you have raised here as we are a multi-award winning Spa (not a salon) and have been praised for having the best massage treatments in Queenstown for the last 21 years. You wil be able to see this by looking at our past reviews. We have a very reputable team of therapists with us who are globally qualified and excell in their field.
We do not 'chop and change' our opening and closing hours. We are regularly told that our services are great value and have also never been referred to as 'dull' regarding the atmosphere in our Spa (we are not a salon) I'm wondering if you have perhaps confused us with another location?
I would love the chance to speak with you directly, unfortunately we cannot identify you via your username so we cannot get in touch with you.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon,

We booked a three hour packages each costing us quite a lot. My masseuse must of skipped breakfast so for three hours I had to listen to her stomach rumble.
My husbands masseuse was unwell and kept coughing and sneezing he could feel when she let go to cover her mouth then touching him again.
The relaxation music unfortunately didn’t muffle the sounds of all guests entering and exiting the building & you could hear all conversations.
We both couldn’t wait for it to be over as the massage (which was not really a massage more like sliding their hands up and down our back) was not at all relaxing.
It really is such a shame as we expected alot more for the price we paid.

As a special treat for our tenth anniversary I booked my wife and I in for the luxury couples massage, and were met by Rachel and Michelle. They were both very skilled, made us feel relaxed and we soon forgot about anything outside of the present. We suspected it was going to be good, but we both found it better than we’d expected. Next time will be booking for longer! 10/10

My partner and I got the Luxury Couples package. I got a deep tissue massage from Una and could have happily stayed for another hour it was so good!
The hot stones were an awesome touch and the hot towels after working each area really made it feel amazing.
I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to relax while also working out all the muscle pain.

This was one of if not THE best vacation deep tissue massage i've ever had. Too often, when a shop sees you are a one-time guest, despite your need and request for a deep tissue therapeutic massage, you end up with a soft touch, but not here ! I came twice over two weeks and both times the therapists really put their heart, attention and skills to work. All of my aches and pains after 14 days intensive mountain hiking were identified and relieved !

This was one of the best massages we have ever had in our lives! Incredible therapists who were both exquisite at their craft. Their professionalism, knowledge, and expertise were phenomenal and completely exceeded any expectations we had on booking. We both walked on air afterward, our bodies felt incredible thanks to their skill and ability. We will definitely be returning the next time we visit Queenstown!

I recently has a massage with Dani, it was fantastic. One of the best deep tissue massages I've had. What made it good was she listened to my request at the start and completely tailored the massage to suit. Other spas I fond sometimes do the consult as a formality, then stick to the same massage routine. This was ideal.

I recently traveled all over New Zealand, from Auckland to Queenstown. I knew that when I arrived in Queenstown (my last stop) I wanted to arrange for a massage to help my body recover from all the walking, hiking, and extreme adventures I had participated in throughout my vacation. Body Sanctum was conveniently located in the main town in Queenstown, and yet still felt like an escape. The staff was lovely from my first interaction at reception throughout the actual treatment.
The only reason I am not giving this a 5 star review is that I wish there had been more flexibility with options. I understand staffing is probably tight right now. I had hoped to have a full spa experience with facial and massage but they only had availability for a 60- minute massage. While it was a great massage, I would have loved a longer appointment to really address some problem areas.
