Seems fairly new, haven't been.
There's also '99 Massage' in Kippa Ring, Cnr ANZAC Ave / Kappella St,
HK Massage in Sutton St, Redcliffe
Redcliffe Thai in Victoria Ave, https://redcliffethaimassages.com.au , opinions vary on whether that's legit or not.
Love your work, mate! Keep it up!Quote:

Just tested the anonymous feedback feature!
I've addressed a couple of feedback requests and implemented them.Quote:

However, I have a bit of a conundrum. I would like to have only 15 x Tier 1 AMPs, but currently there are 16. Also keen to add 2 x Tier 2's from the Tier 3's. Any thoughts?
The 'tier' classification is highly subjective. For example, you classified Golden Lotus as tier 2, but it's a very established chain and has been around for a long time. They are fairly well organised and the experience is usually solid, although most MLs have a limited 'menu'.Quote:

Lol bro the "15 x Tier 1" limit feels like trying to pick only 15 ex-girlfriends to attend your wedding—someone's feelings are gonna get hurt
Tiers are tough, man. Like you said, it’s super subjective. Golden Lotus might not offer the full degustation menu, but they’ve been around longer than some marriages. That’s gotta count for something! Reliable, steady, and you always know what you’re getting—kinda like Macca’s.
I actually love your idea about rating shops by how long they've been under the same management. Way more useful than guessing tiers based on vibes. “More than 5 years = probably won’t disappear overnight” is a great sign in this industry.
But if you’re still keen on keeping tiers, maybe make Tier 1 more like a Hall of Fame—let it flex a bit. 16 or 18 entries won’t kill the system. Or do a monthly shuffle like Netflix’s Top 10. Keeps things spicy
Also props on the Google Maps integration—game changer. Next step: live traffic cam outside each shop?
Yeah, I totally get that the tier system is pretty subjective, there’s no perfect way to rank these places and everyone’s got their own take. I’m just trying to give the list some structure so it’s not a free-for-all.
Here’s what I look at:
Location: How close it is to the city and how discreet it is.
Exposure: Whether they have a website or ML photos out there.
Amenities: Things like showers, parking, and operating hours.
Number and quality of MLs: Based on what people are saying in forums and reviews.
The main reason I’m sticking with some kind of tier system is to make sure places like Ai Li Massage don’t end up at the top by accident. I’m open to tweaking things and making it more flexible as I go. The idea about tracking how long a shop’s been under the same management is actually useful, so I’ll keep that in mind for future updates.
I know the “15 x Tier 1” cap is a bit arbitrary, it does feel like trying to pick which exes to invite to a wedding. There are always going to be a few deserving places that just miss out. Maybe I’ll loosen it up and let Tier 1 be more of a Hall of Fame, or even rotate the top spots every so often to give more shops a chance to shine.
Cheers for the feedback on the Google Maps integration. Who knows, maybe one day I'll get some live traffic cams outside each shop.
I just posted Lavender in Kenmore but based on 1 experience that made the Acqua / Four Seasons girls look plain.
It needs the business I assumed it was just massages for grannies being in Kenmore...it might be in Tier 1 someone checka it out to confirm
Girls also work in Lucky Massage Forest Lake, not sure if it's the same owner / setup
Can we start a thread for MLs. Lots operate at different locations like
Sunny Acqua, VIP, Rocklea
Cherry 4seasons, Aurora, 888
Esther Rosie Acqua 4season LMH
Where do you reckon the girls are from at Lavender? What kind of services do they offer?Quote:

I’m a bit cautious about linking MLs (on the site) who work across different shops unless it’s an obvious shop chain (where the photos are the same). I’m also aware that some MLs may not want it public that they work at multiple shops, but I’d assume that if they wanted (ML) anonymity, they would use a different name at each shop.
The link you make between shops, geography, wechat, locanto is more than enough.Quote:

Concentrating on the shops, details and reputation is excellent and far less work for you moving forward
That there is some very impressive work. A sexy data base if you will. 😉
If your looking a little further north, moonlight massage in Maroochydore is worth an add. They have a roster, and the quality. Had some absolute stunning backpackers there lately. 😋
Nice one. The shops been added. Tier 2, region is 'Far North', added the ML's, as they have reasonable photos.
Great work i found it easy to navigate
The Shop Rating form and responses have been updated and is pinned as buttons on the top right of the main AMP page. You can now:
Feel free to rate your shop experience or check out the latest feedback:
Submit your rating
View all responses and ratings
* MLs without photos have been removed, as listings with only names provide limited value.
* Shops are now organized into Tiers 1, 2, 3 and 4. Within each tier, shops are sorted by their feedback ratings, and you can view average ratings and user comments in each shop’s details.
*** Within each tier, shops are ranked higher if they have better feedback ratings.
*** Shops without any available feedback are assigned the minimum rating for their tier.
*** If you notice any inaccuracies in the ratings, please reach out for corrections
Please comment if you think a shop rating needs to be adjusted and why?
Aiming to maintain fewer than 10 shops in Tier 1 and fewer than 25 shops in Tier 2
Shops in order of rating (updated 18th July 2025)
There are now 200 shops, so I’ve put the list in a Link
Tier Description
Tier 1 Leading – Highly reputable, proven track record, delivers top quality, and is actively advancing.
Tier 2 Stable – Established and generally reliable, but not showing strong progress or innovation.
Tier 3 Developing – Reputation and quality still forming; limited or mixed feedback; potential yet to be proven.
Tier 4 Unknown – No reliable information available; catch-all for listings with little or no details.
Below is a list of Tier 1 & 2 shops as of 19th August 2025

Questionable tier ones;Quote:

Questionable tier twos;
- Touch Day Spa (tier 1)
- Vivi’s… ?? haven’t been there in awhile, so maybe it’s a deserved tier 2??
- Time massage and day spa (tier 1)
Yeah cant see why Joyful is tier 1 - its a very expensive hour and most of the staff are transient. Facilities arent good enoughQuote:

Erya - Pretty much a brothel with its set pricing. Havent heard of a must see here, although one or two staff have been at big shops but moved on
Touch - If Daily Day Spa is tier 1, so should Touch. Same staff.
Vivis does not deserve tier 2, but there isnt a tier 3? It used to be tier 1, but the hiring is stale or just awful
Time - Does have some quality staff, but also considerable average staff. Plus most of the rooms arent fit to swing a cat in. Tier 2 is deserved.
Tier 1 should not be about filling the numbers. Should be about clearly being an elite shop.
I would not have Joyful, Anytime, Elysian, Erya, Feel Good or rejuvenate as tier 1.
Anytime, Feel Good and Rejuvenate are trading off reputation. Emilys been trotting her tired arse out for too long and cant hold on to staff. Rejuvenate have too many basic service staff.
Elysian is shit with advertising and answering messages and the shop hasnt been open long enough. Like Westone.
In tier 2 I would not have
Golden Lotus Camp Hill - tends to be staff here that cant work at the other 2. Usually only one on
Corner 11 thai - i have yet to hear any review. Everytime i have gone when anytime or sol day spa are busy its been old ladies who dont have any customers
Healthy style Hendra - If Vivis holds on to tier 2, the sister shop should not. Its a clear tier below.
Agreed.......... It's about quality of service not historyQuote:

Had to pop a disclaimer on the site. Some keyboard warriors get awfully brave in the DMs, but the site's hit rate tells me the clear majority of punters are happy with it. Funny how they also conveniently neglect to mention aus99, PP, WeChat, or Locanto, which is pretty wild considering the 'P U B L I C' keys on my keyboard have all but worn off.
Here's another shop in Capalaba I could not get on your website, have not been so can't attest to quality and/or variaty:
a quick google search:
The Gentle Touch Massage - Relaxation, Swedish, Deep Tissue Massage
Address: Shop 2 B/125 Old Cleveland Rd, Capalaba QLD 4157 / *88a Old Cleveland Rd Capalaba 4157 (looks like they moved shop within the same centre; they are in now in the hallway next to the barber shop)
Phone: 0452 167 419
https://www.bookwell.com.au/listing/...e-massage-4157
https://www.bookwell.com.au/listing/...h-massage-4157
Thanks, I've added it. Drove through on the weekend and noticed there are a few along that strip. There are now 5 on the oz massage list in Capalaba. I can't vouch for any of them, although I see there are reviews on aus99 for Capalaba Massage Centre and Pink Spa Massage.Quote:
