A lovely, feminine oasis in the middle of Geelong…read more I have had the pleasure of lunch quite a few times at Lotus. The setting is modern, tranquil and pretty. There is a great open fire place and a surprising courtyard out the back. The food here is always good, simple fare covering the usual spectrum of pizzas, pastas, curries and salads. Prices are usually between $15 - $25 for most mains. You will often see ladies catching up over a bite to eat. There is also a day spa above the cafe. My main criticisms are that the service can be patchy and the wait for food to arrive is just far too long to make this your regular lunch spot. A 30 minute wait for a simple pizza or salad is common. Similarly, if you want to pay it is quicker to get up and do so at the counter than wait for the bill to be brought to the table. I am yet to try dessert but there are some tempting creations in the front cabinet Lotus is ideal for lunching with your girlfriends, if you are not in a rush.

Now a day spa in the old church building on the site where the "Apostle" restaurant was once…read morelocated. The internal building has been gutted - what a shame, the old wooden floors and high arched ceiling have been covered in tacky 'modern' furnishings. The design is poorly thought through because now the old stained glass windows are only half visible as they extend up through the new lower false ceiling !!! Booked an hour massage for my mum, her report was that the whole process was shambolic - the staff had very little idea what they were doing and seemed to be making things up, more or less, on the spot. The level of english between the staff was minimal, which is not a major issue overall, but seemed to contribute to the problems. Oh, and the massage was average.

My friend recommended this place for a spray tan before my wedding. I was so happy with the trial…read morethat I went back before the wedding for the tan, an eyebrow tweeze, eyelash tint, waxing and sugaring. Sugaring is great! It pulls on the skin a bit but I found it lasts longer than waxing. Thanks to the staff who got me ready for my wedding in December! Such a pleasant and professional experience! I will definitely return whenever I come home to Geelong.

I had my first ever piercing experience here as a fully grown adult about a month ago and the staff…read morewere kind, quick, helpful and supportive. Would highly recommend.

If I ever get another piercing I wouldn't go anywhere but here. Getting a piercing done here was a…read moremuch better experience than other places I've been. The staff were friendly, extremely knowledgeable and took the time to get the piercing exactly right. They are a bit more expensive than some of the other options around, but piercings are something where it's worth spending a bit extra to get it done by an experienced professional.
