A much needed break had me enjoying my first time at the Tea House Spa! Loved the tranquility of the hot tub and sauna in a private room. The gardens are amazing! The grapefruit drink, Main Squeeze, was refreshing! Damion gave me a perfect deep tissue massage. Loved my escape.

My husband brought me here tonight and it was such a wonderful experience. We had the couple's massage, spa tub and steam shower. Damian is an excellent masseuse. He found every knot and skillfully, without pain even though it was deep tissue took care of them. My husband also really liked his masseuse. After the massage they set your plush massage table upright and bring you a pot of tea. (You select the flavor before your service).

They left us to sit and enjoy our tea and then we got into the tub. The scenery outside the tub is gorgeous. The plants are all so healthy and there is a water feature in the garden that is very relaxing. The steam shower was was lovely and the shower and room were both stocked with very good quality products. They also supply robes, towels and slippers. The linens were impeccable and the facility was pristine.

The room next door to ours was a hot tub and open shower with an even more gorgeous view of the gardens than our room. My husband wouldn't tell me how much he paid for the services but we are definitely going back even though it is an hours drive from home. Street parking is metered

Booked a package at the Tea House Spa (Gemini package) and it did not disappoint! From the moment we arrived the customer service was top notch. The front desk receptionist greeted us by offering complimentary iced tea or refreshers-- we chose the "Main Squeeze" which was a grapefruit/lime/sage/soda water mix and it was served in a carafe for us to enjoy during our tub soak. The room offered a private hot tub overlooking the beautiful garden, personal sauna and shower where we spent 50 minutes relaxing and sipping on the main squeeze.

This was followed by a 50 minute massage. Our masseuses were Damian and Candy-- Damian's deep tissue was perfection. And my husband can't stop talking about how much he enjoyed his massage from Candy. Tea House Spa-- we'll be back!

I love this place. It's a wonderful way to cap off a trip. Make sure you call a head of time to try and get the time you want. They serve tea while you are relaxing.

We were a little skeptical since there were a few homeless men sitting outside of the area but it ended up being a beautiful oasis hidden within downtown SC. A bit more instructions on what to expect and what to bring would've been helpful though. We got the Gemini package. We weren't sure if we needed to bring swimsuits and once we were finished with the sauna, we didn't know if someone was going to come get us for the massage or if we should go to the room ourselves. The massage that I got (given by a guy masseuse - forgot his name!) was absolutely heavenly.

Tried calling several times and have left several voicemails to try and get help with making a reservation and no one ever answered. I tried this for about a week but never got a response from them. Very unprofessional business. Not sure if they are closed permanently.

Made reservations for 2 for a Saturday (we got the Gemini package) and we were able to get street parking right in front. I was expecting a harder time to find parking from the reviews that are on here. The "Happy" tea from Art of Tea was amazing! You also get an option of adding honey to your tea. However, the walls are super thin (or maybe the people next to us were just really loud) but we heard every word to their conversation which honestly ruined the experience.

The massage was not too bad- the masseuse kept trying to engage in a conversation though. I guess ultimately for the price and the information on their website, I was expecting something more peaceful.
