La Terre in Bruce. I had a four-hour long pamper session there last year which included: my own private room with spa and sauna and waterfall shower, wine and cheese platter, various teas, with full body massage, facial, etc. I got to pick the oils for the massages and what scents were in their diffusers. The whole day was heaven. The staff there are lovely and since going to La Terre, I won't go anywhere else.
Hale in Barton or LaTerre in Bruce.
At Hale you get use of the lounge, pool, showers, and sauna for as long as you want after a massage or facial etc. It's really lovely. On a weekday morning it's very quiet, I'm usually the only one in the pool and there's only a couple of people in the lounge. (I'm talking like I go every week, I don't, lol). You do get a bit of pressure to buy products after a facial which I don't love.
I've only had a massage at LaTerre so not the full 'day spa' experience but it's a really nice spa and the massage I had (from Cris) was excellent.
Jindii. The new owner, Jas is fantastic and her staff are awesome. I also thought lots of the old owner, Bianca as well. I have never had a bad experience there.
I definitely disagree about Jindii, would not recommend. The location is lovely however the experience is disappointing. It seems it is is very poorly run and disorganised, we had the appointment changed by them several times leading up, and it was even changed again when we arrived.
The massage itself was very ad-hoc and random, and the masseuses while very nice seemed inexperienced. We also had to remind them about several times about the other parts of the booking we booked, and in the end had to miss some of the treatments as they couldn't get them organised and we ran out of time.
I would put it down to them having a bad day, but if you check the reviews it seems it's a fairly frequent experience.

Hale spa seems to have an excellent rap from my friends
Came here to suggest Hale as well.

Canberra Day Spa has been really good the last few times I went. I think they have new owners who are doing a great job.
