Rating: 4/5

Here is what some customers had to say about Rena Spa at The Midland:

“The facilities were clean and comfortable and there were water/tea stations. The pool was the perfect temperature. It wasn’t overly busy, everyone was respectful of others i.e no one being too loud, everyone allowed their fair share of hot tub etc.”

“Was at the spa this morning and just had to write a review. We booked a 50 minute treatment plus afternoon tea and I was so satisfied with my experience! Used the facilities first (pool, hot tub, both saunas) which were great, then headed to the amazing relaxation room for a quick lounge before my FANTASTIC treatment by Mia.”

“Booked for the Indulgence spa day with a friend and what a lovely day it was. Friendly and welcoming staff upon arrival, beautiful afternoon tea, the dry lounge room was such a lovely setting (except when trying to get in/out of the pods which takes some practice lol), both sauna and salt steam rooms were great and the pool/hot tub weren’t too crowded.”
