Baby Spa

Baby Spa NZ in Onehunga offers hydrotherapy and infant massage for babies aged from two days to eight months — one of the few places in New Zealand doing so. The sessions take place in purified water, where the gentle pressure encourages movement and relaxation in a way that is difficult to replicate on dry land.

What it is

The reported benefits span muscle development, sleep promotion, relief from colic, digestion support, and early water association — a useful foundation for swimming lessons down the track. The team are trained midwives, which gives parents of very young babies an added layer of confidence.

Sessions suit newborns through to eight-month-olds, and parents can combine the float with an infant massage. The atmosphere described by families is calm and unhurried, with staff who take time to respond to each baby's cues.

My baby girl has had 4 sessions at baby spa (between 6 and 12 weeks old). She absolutely loves it. Every session she does something new that shows me she’s learning fast. We adore Simran. She’s like a Disney princess for the babies, so engaging and gentle with them. My baby is yet to not cry after getting out of the spa and actually enjoy her massage but we will keep trying :) A bit pricey but worth it.

Really enjoyed this calming experience with my bubba. He is only 4 weeks old. Recommend taking your babies here. Super cute.

What an experience it was to go to the baby spa! I would highly recommend to any parent with a baby. The environment is calming with the sunlight trickling in through the windows. All of the staff were kind, caring and very knowledgeable sharing how it would effect our grandson. Since then baby has responded really well and is coping much better, with wind and sleep. I have never seen a child relax so quickly and really enjoy such an experience. What a complete change. I only wish this had been around when my own children were babies! Give it a go people!!!!!

Amazing place to bring your bubs. My 5 week old Brodie absolutely loved his time with Marcela also Dad & I enjoyed the experience. So many smiles throughout and our baby was really engaged. Thanks Marcela. We will be back ☺️

Such a nice experience today at the baby spa! The environment is so calm and relaxing so perfect for alert babies that get overstimulated easily. We had the lovely Moira (sorry if I spelt your name wrong!) who took care of our little girl so well. She sang songs and gave her a lovely massage at the end of her swim. Couldn’t recommend baby spa enough! we are definitely going to back!
