Secrets of Sydney at 18 Box Road, Caringbah is a smartly presented, privacy-conscious shop in an industrial area, with private intro rooms, a large roster of friendly therapists and rooms that include showers and a spa suite. The erotic massage side is straightforward, with a gentle oil massage first and full service available with most therapists.
Communication and customer interaction
- The shop posts short videos of its therapists on Telegram, so you can see who’s on before you go. Specials may be available there as well.
- Walk-ins are welcome. In reception you’re introduced to the therapists on that shift, one by one, in private intro rooms. Each one tells you up front what she offers and what’s off the menu.
- Extras are agreed before you head to the room, and the staff are careful about privacy, checking that the halls are clear so you don’t run into another punter.
- The manager and therapists are friendly, and the cheeky, relaxed vibe makes the intros easy.
Location, access, atmosphere and cleanliness
- The shop is in an industrial area, with parking out the front and street parking nearby. Front parking is easy but visible, so some punters park around the corner.
- It’s clean, tidy and well decorated, and the cheeky fun extends to seasonal decorations.
- The roster varies through the week, from about five therapists on a late Friday afternoon to a dozen on a busy Friday night.
Facilities and amenities
- There are around eight rooms. Some have a massage table only, some a bed and a table, and one is a spa suite. The shower areas in rooms are large and tastefully lit.
- Some rooms have specialty two-hole massage tables.
- A shower is offered before the session, and you can ask for towels and a shower on your own.
Therapists
- A mixed roster of Australian, European, Latin American and Asian therapists, mostly from their mid 20s to early 40s.
- Punters describe them as attractive, friendly and enthusiastic, and some have a massage background.
- Each therapist sets her own boundaries, so ask what’s included before you choose.
Service and massage quality
- The massage ranges from mild and gentle to genuinely firm and skilled. It starts with a shower, then an oil massage, with some teasing as it builds.
- Most therapists offer full service, though not all do. Table-only rooms limit the positions a little, so a bed or spa suite gives more room.
- Some therapists don’t include kissing or certain extras, so ask first.
Pricing and extras
- Massage prices are 30 minutes for $190, 45 minutes for $220 and 60 minutes for $260, cash only, and specials may be available on the shop’s Telegram.
- Extras are agreed with each therapist and run from about $150 up to $350, depending on the therapist and the room.
Session flow and timing
- You meet the therapists, choose, agree extras and go to the room. Then comes a shower, the massage and the flip.
- A one hour booking in the spa suite leaves time to relax in the spa. A 30 minute booking is a quicker session.
- A shower is offered at the end.
Overall customer experience
- A polished, discreet shop with plenty of choice, and one punter’s favourite for its cleanliness, rooms and showers.
- The massage is secondary to the extras, and prices are higher than at most massage shops, so it suits punters who know what they want and like choosing in person.
Quotes
- “It’s smartly presented and looks clean and tidy. Private intro rooms. Also they are quite privacy conscious and do things like checking that the coast is clear in the halls so you don’t meet another punter.”
- “It’s located in an industrial area and has parking out the front if you want to leave your car where it publishes what you are doing! Street parking nearby but then you need to do the furtive walk of shame.”
- “There are maybe 8 rooms with half being massage table only and the rest either bed and massage table or there is one with a big spa I believe. This time I was in for a short stay so could only take the table option.”
- “Into the room and it is tastefully lit with a large shower area and massage table only. I was directed to the shower while she went off and did something.”
- “Once showered she set up the bed and started a firm massage. Her massage skills were really good and she mentioned she is from a massage background too.”
- “Had never been into Secrets before but have heard good things from friends that have. I was not disappointed. The venue was clean, reception staff were nice and seems to be run like a well organised place.”
