Tara Thai Massage is a Thai massage studio at 760 New North Road in Mount Albert, Auckland. The studio is under new management and took over the premises from Baankaew Thai Sports Massage, which the website says is the same site. The menu includes a therapeutic Thai massage with assisted stretching and warm oil, a gentle essential oil massage, deep tissue massage, hot stone massage, and a massage for pregnant women between 13 and 30 weeks. A private dual room is available for two people. The studio is open daily from 10am to 8pm. Bookings are recommended, especially in the evenings and at weekends, and walk-ins are welcome when there is space. Street parking is available on New North Road. Cash, EFTPOS, Afterpay and cards are accepted, with a surcharge on cards and contactless payments.
Customers say the staff are lovely, the studio is clean, and the massage stretches muscles they did not know were tight. Heavy massage, hot stones and knot work come up most often. One customer who had come for years said the new owners had upgraded the service, the massage and the safety. Another praised a therapist for being excellent and for checking in after the session. One reviewer raised a concern about something noticed after their massage, and said they had told the studio directly. The studio is a good place for regular Thai massage in Mount Albert.
