Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you are in Wanaka and need a massage, don't miss this place. I had a massage with Lauren after a tough overnight hike, and she did an amazing job of working the knots out of my sore quads and calves. It was really therapeutic and allowed me to go mountain biking the next day instead of sitting around recovering for a few more days. I liked my massage so much that I went back and had a massage with the owner, Gray (I booked my husband in with Lauren!). Gray is easily one of the best massage therapists I've ever worked with. She really knows how to find tense muscles. She asks the right questions, but she is also just really good at feeling where you may have tightness and knowing how to work that out. I would highly recommend Active Massage for anybody, but if you are an athlete or just otherwise active person, don't miss this place!

Where to start…. Walking into Active massage was the most warmest welcoming business I’ve ever step foot into. Grey, the owner, is the kindest, funniest and helpful human offering advice on where to go and what do, she made us feel right at home going above and beyond.
After having extended our skiing holiday (twice 😂) we visited Active Massage on numerous occasions, as the old body just doesn’t bounce back like it use to!
My partner who is a tradie refuses to get massages back home in Aus and makes a weekly to the visit to an Osteopath. With plenty of old injuries and reconstructions from sports, he only had to see Lauren twice and was a new man, regardless of being young she was thorough and has been well trained having an excellent technique.
We both had a visit with Grey and now I’m unsure if any other masseuse will ever be able to live up to the level of service she gave, the bar has been set and it’s set high!
If you have some time on your holiday do yourself the favour and make an appointment, do it now and book ahead so you don’t miss out, you won’t be disappointed, make some time for the sauna, hot tip! 🔥

My partner and I enjoyed the ‘Sauna for 2’ infra red sauna today and it was incredible! It was just what we needed after walking Roy’s Peak and going jet boating! Feeling incredible! Gray even had amazing recommendations for us for our next travels.

I had my first massage with Gray yesterday and it was wonderful, one of the best that I've had in a long time! I'm a mom of two young kids and work a stressful job full time, so self care has not been at the top of my list and I was long overdue for some work around my upper back, neck, shoulders, with lingering issues around hips and lower back with the new baby. Gray was kind and thoughtful, and started digging right into my problem areas, finding sore spots and working through them over our session. Great application of pressure and relaxing strokes, very tense, tight muscles here that took quite a bit to work out. I could sense that she really cared and clearly wanted to help relieve the pain I was feeling. I walked away feeling ten pounds lighter and would definitely come back!

Fantastic massages. Both relaxing and therapudic. We both left feeling on cloud 9. Lindsey was very knowledgeable and did a really great job. Laura applied specific, strong pressure, finding and relieving tension I didn't even realize I had. Both were so welcoming to us. And the spacious rooms & prepped tables felt comfortable. Among the best massages we've enjoyed anywhere.

I have just returned from receiving a massage with the ever-talented Lindsy. As a massage therapist myself I can't help but be somewhat fussy about my treatments, and it was one of the best I have ever received, and I've had a few! With an Advanced Clinical Massage Diploma, her all-knowing, intuitive, strong hands hit all the right spots. You will be in the best of hands with any of Grays therapists at Active Massage who will provide you with the best treatment. I am returning next week for another.

Visited as a couple after several weeks of traveling around and endless hours of driving. A good massage was the best cure - and this is what we got at Active massage by Grey and Laura. Both a very experienced and professional. The result was two happy & relaxed people , looking forward for the next massage appointment.

I booked an hour long deep tissue massage with Laura Mo and it was exceptional. She zeroed in on the problem spots and sorted them out.

I had a deep tissue massage from the lovely Jane and it exceeded my expectations. Right from the start she took an interest in my wellbeing and the massage she provided was professional and top notch! After a few days of hiking and cycling I was in need of a good rub down and that is what I got. I found Jane to be intuitive in her massage and she has the gift of healing hands, finding all the tight sore spots. Her manner was compassionate and holistic which was an added bonus. Thank you. Regards Claire :)
