Probably the best mens facial you’ll find in Cape Town. Thys takes extra care and is very knowledgeable about skin and treatments. Keep going back to him!

I had a 90 minute Full Body with Mathapelo. My back and neck had been in spasm for over a week, so tbh, the massage was fairly painful in places, but the relief it's brought has made a massive difference. I fell asleep afterwards. Thanks Mats :-)

First time client visiting this salon & I am very impressed how easy it was to make a booking & I didn’t have to wait at all, I was helped immediately when I showed up. The owner is very friendly & we had a good chat, I got a Hollywood wax done & it felt like I was getting a massage, that’s how relaxed I felt. I would 10/10 recommend anyone thinking of visiting to make that booking right now! you won’t be disappointed,

I had a wonderful massage at Origin Wellness Spa. For someone who has chronic neck and shoulder pain, Origin's deep tissue massage did just the trick. I would 100% recommend. Rayhanna and Tammy have created an excellent spa experience.

Edgar was professional and really made me feel comfortable. The venue is neat and peaceful. I enjoyed the body scrub. It leaves your skin really smooth. The massage was good too and it is on par with massages I have received from other masseurs. I recommend Edgar.

Swedish Massage FAQs
The average cost of a Swedish massage in Cape Town is ZAR 400, however you should expect to pay anything from ZAR 200 to ZAR 999.
A Swedish massage is what Western countries call a classic massage. Therapists apply varying degrees of pressure to relieve aching and stressed muscle tissue using five types of long, fluid strokes: sliding (effleurage), kneading (petrissage), tapping (tapotement), rubbing, and vibration.
If you are suffering from tension, sore muscles, or physical or emotional stress, you may benefit from receiving a Swedish massage.
Rest and drink plenty of water. You should avoid having a hot shower, and expect to need the toilet more than usual as a result of your lymph circulation flushing out toxins.
To minimise your emotional and physical stress, consider booking in for a Swedish massage once or twice a fortnight.
Not usually. A Swedish massage is more gentle than a deep tissue or Thai massage, so you shouldn’t feel any discomfort.
