Angelica Holistic Beauty & Spa Therapies is a home-based salon at 15 Tamihana Street in Matamata, the home of Hobbiton. The website says its therapies are for women only, and that the practitioner is an aromatherapist and spa therapist. Services include aromatherapy massage, relaxation massage, hot stone massage, organic facials, reflexology, ear candling, and body scrubs and wraps, using Janesce, AEOS and NAMA Fiji skincare. Lash, brow, nail and waxing services are not offered, nor sports, deep tissue or pregnancy massage. Children need to be arranged elsewhere during a treatment. The website says sessions are unrushed, with skincare advice on request. Sunday is closed, with occasional bookings available on enquiry. We hear new treatments are coming in 2026, including NAMA detox facials, NAMA foot treatments and AEOS facials.
Customers describe a relaxing atmosphere and a cosy room, and say the therapist is professional, caring and knowledgeable. One says a reflexology session left them relaxed and ready for a nap, and another found a full-body aroma massage blissful. Customers also praise the Janesce products and the Rose Affinite facial. Within a kilometre there are three other massage therapists, and of the two nearby with 10 or more reviews, neither rates higher than this one. Our pick in Matamata for a quiet, women-only spa treatment.
