Sunflower Massage at 81A Willoughby Road, Crows Nest, previously Sunflower Massage in St Leonards, is an upstairs shop, with a discreet rear entrance off Zig Zag Lane and a roster of attractive, well-presented Asian therapists. The massage is competent, the teasing is a speciality, and the erotic massage extras on the flip are a step above most shops, as is the price. It’s open daily from 10am to 8pm.
Communication and customer interaction
- Bookings can be made on WeChat or SMS most of the time, and walk-ins are welcome. On arrival you may have to look for reception, so wait in the corridor or ask a therapist to fetch the receptionist.
- The receptionist or therapist shows you to a room, and the therapist asks what extras you’d like and quotes the price.
- English is good, and therapists are chatty, friendly and good at making a first visit easy.
- A double session with two therapists is available, so ask when you book if you’d like one.
Location, access, atmosphere and cleanliness
- The shop is upstairs at 79A-81A Willoughby Road, and the entrance is exposed to foot and vehicle traffic, so most punters go straight in and out. The rear entrance on Zig Zag Lane is the discreet way in.
- The shop moved here from St Leonards with the same therapists and management, so it’s worth knowing if you’ve seen it under the old address.
- Rooms are clean, comfortable and upstairs, and the shop has a polished feel.
Facilities and amenities
- Some rooms have mirrors on the side wall, and at least one has a mirror on the ceiling, so you get a view from every angle.
- Hot towels are used for clean-up, and a towel is provided at the start.
Therapists
- Asian therapists, mostly from their mid 20s to early 30s. They’re slim, well presented and warm, and ad photos have mostly been accurate.
- Some therapists also work at other massage shops, so names and ad details don’t always line up.
- If you have a favourite, check who’s on when you book.
Service and massage quality
- The massage is competent and often strong, with therapists who find the knots and pressure points, and some start with a graceful, Thai-style routine.
- Teasing is a highlight with some therapists, with long, light strokes and slow touching that builds towards the flip.
- Extras include nude HJ, body slide, BJ and DATY with some therapists. Full service isn’t on offer, and therapists set their own limits on touching.
- Some therapists ask how you like it, fast or slow, and are happy to edge you, which punters rate as good customer service.
Pricing and extras
- Massage prices are 30 minutes for $60, 45 minutes for $75 and 60 minutes for $90.
- Nude HJ is around $100, HJ with DATY is around $150, and body slide with CBJ is around $150. Prices are set by each therapist, and prices climb if you add extras one by one, so agree the total at the start.
- Doubles are priced per therapist, with a shop fee and extras for each.
Session flow and timing
- The massage comes first, and the extras follow on the flip. A hot towel clean-up marks the end, and any time left usually goes on more massage.
- Sessions can be extended if you’d like more time, and a short booking is enough if you’re mainly there for the extras.
Overall customer experience
- A stylish, popular shop with some of the best-looking therapists in Sydney, and punters say the teasing and customer service are worth it.
- Prices are higher than at most shops, and extras add up quickly, so it suits punters who value a polished session and agree the price first.
- Regulars return for particular therapists, and doubles are rated highly.
Quotes
- “Her English is great and she gave a good massage, starting off with the kind of catlike manoeuvre that you often get in legit Thai shops.”
- “She then lay by my side stroking me, she asked me how I liked it, fast or slow, if I wanted her to edge me a bit, which was pretty great customer service.”
- “With both advertised to be on at the same time at Sunflower, I took the opportunity to book the double. Let’s just say right from the outset I was in RnT heaven and certainly was not going to be disappointed.”
- “The total price of admission, while probably a little bit more over the odds compared to other shops, worth it for these two ladies though.”
