Body Haven Massage

First time getting a massage since moving to Townsville and can’t say anything positive about my visit. I wanted a relaxing experience but there was no music and you could clearly hear that you were in a shopping centre. My first masseuse started to massage me but then walked out on me twice while I was still lying on the table half naked. The workers would constantly be speaking to each other loudly while I was getting my massage. I was ready to walk out by that point. I had a lady come in a take over and she was good but still not very relaxing. She would leave me on the table mid massage and the curtain would be half open. There’s nothing relaxing about the end of a massage when I would get slapped on the head, neck, shoulders and back before saying it was done. I’ve never written a review on anything but I couldn’t stay quiet because this place is terrible. Do not go here. What a waste of money.

I really wish I had read the reviews before going here.RED FLAG #1: No music. You could literally hear kids crying outside, people's conversations as they walked by and the shopping centre radio.RED FLAG #2: I was not asked where I was hurting, nor how strong I wanted to be massaged.RED FLAG #3: My masseuse was having a loud conversation as he began his routine.RED FLAG #4: He used one arm the whole time wasn't putting any effort into it. If you want to imagine what it was like, gently rub your hand over your body and you will experience what I just paid for.RED FLAG #5: He felt where I had knots and just moved over them.I honestly felt like my masseuse got their massaging diploma from a cereal packet or watched a YouTube video. This wasn't my first massage and know exactly what I should be paying for. Plus, $95.00 for a 60-min remedial massage is a rip-off.DO. NOT. GO. HERE.

Average massage (where the lady just dug her elbows into my back the whole time), which was supposed to include neck. When I asked at the end about covering neck, she got angry with me claiming I had forgotten it had been done and aggressively pushed my head down, pinched it four or five times and told me she was done. Not a great experience at all, won’t be back.

Would not recommend. I asked 3 times for her to press harder as it was having no impact on my back muscles. Every time she replied with something incoherent and remained at the same soft pressure. Also only massaged 40-50% of my arms and shoulders and barely did anything to my neck. Time and money wasted.

Not a good place to go! The lady who served me was exceptionally rude to me and the other customer behind me. The 'remedial massage' was not good. She used her ELBOWS, for the entire massage, even on my arms and neck. When she needed to get to the other side of the tiny room she literally pulled the massage table and scraped in on the floor to move it to the other side of room instead of walking around.When it was time for the warm towel - she acted like she was sanding down a chair - it was incredibly rough. She was loudly talking most of the time to her colleagues in the other rooms, which made for a super uncomfortable experience!If you want a relaxing massage, or a massage where they use something other than their elbows for the whole time, and are friendly - I would not recommend here.

I have had consistently good experiences here and will keep coming back. Probably not the place for you if you like a relaxing spa massage, but really great if you like a deep tissue massage with strong pressure. Like most massage places in shopping centres, it is a 'no frill' experience in terms of lacking in decor (no candles, scented rooms etc) which is reflected in the more affordable prices.

Had a pretty unpleasant experience. The towel I was provided with to put over my body was not clean and smelt really bad. I asked to cut the massage short as it was not relaxing- no ambient music and it smelt terrible. When I asked to end the massage the lady hit my back incredibly hard to ‘conclude’ the massage. All round uncomfortable and non relaxing experience and a waste of money. Will not come back to this unsanitary and un- relaxing place.

Do not recommend this place at all. Worst massage me and my partner have ever experienced. Mine was on her phone digging her elbows into one spot on my back and not even paying attention. And my partners was talking to therapist next door and not even trying. We both ended up walking out at different times 10mins and 30mins and they both still charged us. Do not go here it is a joke !

Worst massage I've ever recieved. The lady was crook as and sniffling the whole time and the massage itself was terrible. I ended up leaving halfway through. I've never left a review on anything before but thought I'd share to prevent people wasting money like I did. Will never return.
