Warm Care Thai Massage at 1/159 Sladen Street, Cranbourne is an upstairs erotic massage shop where the "front door" is really the back door, up two flights of stairs, and you may wonder if you're heading the right way. Once inside, punters find a genuinely good massage, a full menu of extras from HJ through to body slide and full service, and plenty of parking nearby.
Communication and customer interaction
- You pay the receptionist in cash, and she asks what you're after before showing you to a room. Bring the right notes, since change promised at the desk hasn't always turned up.
- Extras come up around the 10 minute mark or on the flip, with the whole menu run through at once. One therapist whispered the HJ offer in a punter's ear partway through the massage.
Location, access, atmosphere and cleanliness
- The entrance is the back door of the building, up two flights of steps.
- Parking is easy, with plenty of spots nearby.
- Rooms can be on the dark side, though at least one punter was shown to a well-lit room.
Facilities and amenities
- Oil is used for the massage and extras, and a towel covers you during the massage.
- Hot towels wipe the oil off before the flip, and towels are used for clean-up at the end.
Therapists
- Asian therapists in their mid 20s to 30s, usually two working at a time.
- Looks vary from well proportioned with tattoos to a curvier build. Ad photos are a fair guide to body type, but not always to faces.
- Some therapists are reserved at first and open up as the session goes on.
Service and massage quality
- The massage is the strength here, with thorough work on the back, arms, legs and glutes. Pressure can be firm, but therapists will ease off if you ask.
- One therapist mixes in leg stretches and yoga-style moves, which is a bit different from the usual routine.
- There's little teasing early on, and it builds when the extras come up.
- HJ is slow and unhurried, and often carries on past the finish. Body slide uses plenty of oil and grinding, and full service is available.
Pricing and extras
- Massage prices are 30 minutes for $60, 45 minutes for $75, 60 minutes for $90, with $5 off when you pay cash.
- HJ is $50, topless or nude HJ is $100, body slide is $150, and full service is $200 to $250. Full service has come down to $200 when asked, though not every time.
- Extras sit on the pricier side, so know your budget before you go in.
Session flow and timing
- The massage comes first, and extras follow on the flip.
- On a 30 minute booking, extras come up after only about 10 minutes of massage, so book longer if the massage matters to you.
- A hot towel wipe-down finishes things off before you head out.
Overall customer experience
- A good-quality massage and an unhurried HJ are what keep punters coming back, and several left with a smile and plans to return.
- Results depend on who's working, so ask who's on and try a different therapist if the first isn't your style.
- Worth a visit if you're in the Cranbourne area and want a proper massage with the option of more.
Quotes
- “Location is nice and with lots of parking spots available. Up 2 flights of stairs, gets the blood pumping and breathing up to be honest.”
- “She puts a towel over my back side. She gives a nice massage. Gets in there. I had to ask her to reduce the firmness as she is quite strong.”
- “She continues to finish the rest of my body, still no teasing, then goes out and grabs the hot towels to clean off the oil.”
- “On the flip, a little massage on the front, but quickly gives the menu.”
- “She gives a pretty ordinary massage, lots of pressing on the one spot. Then she starts leg stretching and twisting me around like some sort of yoga move... which wasn’t bad, but I’ve never had that before in a ‘relaxation massage’.”
