Rome Massage at 4 Bellevue Avenue, Rosanna is a small, no-frills shop that's changed hands and staff a few times, so the massage on any given day is a bit of a lottery, but extras are readily on offer once you're on the table.
Communication and customer interaction
- Messaging ahead for a booking hasn't always been necessary — walking in has worked just as well.
- Extras are usually raised plainly on the flip, with prices given straight away when asked.
- English levels among the receptionists and therapists vary a fair bit, so simple, direct requests work best.
Location, access, atmosphere and cleanliness
- Tucked just off Lower Plenty Road in Rosanna, with two-hour street parking nearby.
- The shop itself is genuinely tight on space — narrow rooms, and not much room to move.
- Presentation ranges from basic but workable through to fairly run down, so go in with modest expectations on ambience.
Therapists
- A rotating cast of mostly Chinese and Vietnamese therapists, generally late 20s to 50-plus.
- Not everyone here is a looker, and a couple of visitors note that upfront, but personality and technique have made up for it in more than one case.
- Availability can be day-specific, with some therapists only working certain days of the week.
Service and massage quality
- Straight massage quality is inconsistent, sometimes a genuine, methodical rubdown hitting the sore spots, other times a light, going-through-the-motions effort.
- One standout offering here is prostate massage, specifically advertised and delivered well by at least one therapist.
- Extras cover a wide range: hand relief, oral, and full body slide, with technique swinging from slow and teasing through to more rushed.
Pricing and extras
- Massage prices are 30 minutes – $50, 45 minutes – $65, 60 minutes – $80.
- Extras have ranged from $50 for hand relief, up to $150 for fuller combinations.
- Prostate massage has been offered as a $50 add-on with at least one therapist.
Session flow and pacing
- Sessions vary from a fairly rushed 10-12 minutes of massage before flipping, through to a slower build with genuine teasing.
- Some therapists take their time on extras with a gentle, drawn-out technique; others go straight for pace without much variation.
- Clean-up ranges from a proper warm towel wipe-down to a quick cold one.
Overall customer experience
- A real mixed bag depending on who's rostered on and what you're specifically after.
- Worth a visit if prostate massage or a particular slow, sensual style appeals, less so if you're chasing a polished, high-end environment.
- A few visitors have flagged plans to return and try different therapists as they rotate through.
