Baan Suan Thai Massage is a Thai massage studio at 19 Otanerua Road in Hatfields Beach, on the Rodney coast just north of Orewa. Its name means "home garden" in Thai, and the room is kept calm and clean with soft music. The menu runs from traditional Thai massage, an oil-free treatment built on stretching and pressure points that the studio calls passive yoga, to aroma oil, hot stone and a deep tissue massage for sore muscles. There is also a blend of Thai technique and oil massage, a reflexology foot massage, a body scrub and a $20 quickie pedicure as at 2026. Couples massage is on offer too.
Customers talk most about the deep tissue work. One reviewer arrived with tension in the neck, back and shoulders and left feeling much better. Others praise the aromatherapy massage, the clean and peaceful room, and staff who are welcoming and attentive. One visitor said the Thai massage felt as authentic as what they had experienced in Thailand. Traditional Thai work relies on stretching and pressure rather than oil, so the oil-free treatment is a very different experience from the aroma and hot stone sessions. Our pick in Hatfields Beach for a deep tissue massage after a hard week.
