Since New Zealand legalised brothels in 2003, the capital city Wellington has been making hay whilst the sun shines. It currently offers around 20 bordellos where you can pay for sex.
Prior to the law change, sex workers had to masquerade as masseurs in parlours offering skilled hands for your pleasure. There are still many such establishments across New Zealand; the term ‘massage parlour’ has become synonymous with prostitution. However, the decriminalisation of sex work has been a major win for Kiwi punters.
In this Wellington Brothels Guide, we showcase the best venues to get full service in the Windy City. Prices vary massively, unsurprisingly, with the CBD-based premises generally charging top dollar.
Active Brothels In Wellington
Wellington has a curious mix of old-school walk-up brothels and hybrid escort agencies where incall services are arranged hastily in private apartments.
It’s a quirk of the city that two of its best known brothels don’t even have a public address. The details are only disclosed after making your booking. While this will appeal to some of our more discerning readers, our list also highlights some of the more conventional brothels — where you can show up on the door and make your pick from whoever is available.
For full service, expect to pay around $200 per hour at the low end, and $500+ at the premium end.
Prices were correct at the time of publication but it is always recommended that you ask for up-to-date rates when confirming your bookings.
Disclaimer: We don’t work for any of these brothels, nor are we affiliated to them in any way. These listings are curated from information that is publicly available around the web. The page is for informational purposes only.
The Bedroom
Discreet CBD Location, Wellington
Phone: 021 555 528
https://www.thebedroom.co.nz
The Bedroom offers a discreet and personalised service with every client treated to individual matching with a woman to suit their needs. The management operate a friendly but professional house – located close to the CBD – with all of the ladies offer full intercourse, French kissing and mutual oral.
The Bedroom isn’t your typical brothel. It’s more like a private apartment — AirBnB meets full-service. Inside you’ll find an upmarket, clean and homely environment with fresh flowers, crisp linen and well thought out interiors. These touches of class lend the venue a romantic and relaxed feel which makes every experience a pleasure.
Services are by appointment only whereupon the address will be confirmed. A range of packages can be organised which all lend themselves to intimate style adult entertainment that feels more like a date than a quick back-street rendezvous.
Dinner dates with bedroom time are popular as is exclusive overnight use of their luxury room that includes kitchen area so you can reward your lady with fresh cooked breakfast in the morning.
With such high standards, hiring one of The Bedroom’s courtesans does not come cheap. Full service starts at $500 for 45 minutes, or $600 for 1 hour. Check out their Roster page and you will see why.
With a reputation for remembering their clients and providing an exceptional and personal service, The Bedroom claims to offer “the best GFE in Wellington” whether you visit once a week or once in a blue moon. We would consider this the ‘executive’ option for monied punters who only want the best.
- Open daily
- Monday to Friday: 10:00am to 9:00pm
- Saturday and Sunday: Midday to 8:00pm
Funhouse
Discreet CBD Location, Wellington
Phone: 027 251 7511
https://funhouse.co.nz
Established just a few years after sex work laws changed in 2005, Funhouse has an international reputation for excellence. This high-end bordello is run by award winning madam, Mary Brennan and operates a variety of services from its venue, including:
- Girlfriend Experience (GFE)
- Porn Star Experience (PSE)
- Sensual Massage
- Tie & Tease
- Fantasy
- Dungeon
- Foot Fetish
- Couples and Doubles
Like many of the top Wellington bordellos, there are several arms to this adult business. You can meet Funhouse escorts in-house, or you can arrange outcall bookings. The website has a comprehensive roster (available to view online), and we typically see around 10-15 girls working on any given day. Most are in their early 20s, with a couple of exceptions, including a German cougar and a leggy, busty 19 year old.
Funhouse has a lot of ladies on its books, but a word about pricing: there are no “set rates” at this brothel. Each girl has her own rates, and they are all over the place. Some girls will charge as low as $300 for 1 hour of full service, others will charge over $600.
Likewise… some offer cheaper massage packages (hand relief), others won’t.
There is very little that Funhouse can’t cater for and all enquires are welcome. Bookings are by appointment only. Check the website first, find a girl you like, then take it from there.
- Open daily
- Monday to Thursday: 9:00am to 9:00pm
- Friday: 9:00am to 8:00pm
- Saturday: 11:00am to 6:00pm
- Sunday: Midday to 6:00pm
Paradise Club
Discreet CBD Location, Wellington
Phone: 027 386 6000
https://www.paradiseclub.co.nz
Offering in-calls by appointment only, this discreet brothel in the CBD area has won the people’s choice award for ‘Best Adult Establishment in NZ’ six years running.
It’s one of Wellington’s best-known bordellos.
The Paradise Club is a selective employer and prides itself on the high quality and standards of the girls working for them. The venue specialises in longer appointments with overnight bookings a popular choice for clients.
The brothel operates a ‘Noir’ service to cater for gentlemen looking to explore the dark side. Tailored and planned carefully these sessions are suitable for first timers as well as seasoned punters looking for a dominant hand.
The venue itself is exquisitely styled and maintained with excellent facilities and add-ons including custom built sex furniture, a range of sex toys and fresh, clean linen with five-star wash amenities. The address is only revealed when you make a booking, but it’s near the Cuba and Dixon Street intersection.
Unfortunately their website is pretty shoddy and doesn’t reveal much about the booking process. Instead it showcases individual profiles of the girls who work there. Each girl has her own contact information and pricing, making this more of an ‘escort collective’ than a traditional brothel experience.
Still, Paradise has a good reputation, both within the escort community and with the local punters.
- Open daily
- Monday to Thursday: 10:00am to 11:00pm
- Friday: 10:00am to Midnight
- Saturday: 11:00am to Midnight
- Sunday: 11:00am to 10:00pm
Paris
286a High Street, Hutt Central, Lower Hutt 5010,
Phone: 04 569 3059
https://paris.net.nz
Described as a ‘discreet playground for pleasure seekers’, Paris in Lower Hutt offers a relaxed gentleman’s club experience.
The premises are laid out so that you can take your time before choosing a partner. Enjoy a drink, or a game of pool in the lounge bar, before retiring to one of their tastefully decorated bedrooms to enjoy some fine female company. The club caters for couples as well as lone gents.
Paris employs a wide range of women with various skills and from different backgrounds, ages and ethnicities. The Daily Schedule (available via their website) typically lists 5-6 girls for each shift. Most of them are well adept at GFE.
You can find additional specialist services under each of their profiles (along with some nice teaser pics).
All in all, Paris is one of those bordellos that you will be coming back to again and again. The rates here are cheaper than some of the premier establishments, but the standard of service is still decent.
Full service starts at $150 for 20 minutes, $190 for 30 minutes or $240 for 1 hour. Very reasonable prices. You can also hire their ladies for outcalls (add approximately $60 to the standard hourly rates).
- Open daily, 10:00am to 7:00pm
- Thursday: 7:00pm to 9:00pm by appointment only.
TK’s
184 Gracefield Road, Gracefield, Lower Hutt 5010
Phone: 04 566 6865
https://www.tknz.co.nz
This popular little sex den is tucked away in an industrial part of Seaview, Lower Hutt. It’s well off the beaten track, with plenty of private parking where you can blend into the scene. There’s also a discreet entrance around the back.
It’s much more of a conventional brothel experience, compared to the appointment-only CBD locations on our list.
Once you step inside, you’ll be greeted by a friendly receptionist and introduced to their working ladies. There’s a cosy little bar area where you can relax with a drink before making your choice. “Nice girls for nice guys” is the motto here. Granted, the standard isn’t as high as the luxury bordellos, but TK’s has some real punter favourites who know exactly how to send you home with a smile on your face.
Full service starts at just $120 for 20 minutes, $150 for 30 minutes or $200 for 1 hour. Keep in mind, these rates are for customers paying in cash (Eftpos is extra). TK’s also offers a very popular erotic massage service, known as the Sunshine Massage ($80 for 30 minutes).
Various extras can be provided, from fantasy dress-up to greek, golden showers and light bondage. It’s worth calling in advance if you’re looking for more than the standard service.
- Open daily
- Monday, Tuesday: 12:00pm to 9:00pm
- Wednesday: 10:00am to Midnight
- Thursday, Friday: 10:00am to 3:00am
- Saturday: 12:00pm to 3:00am
- Sunday: 12:00pm to Midnight
1Night Stands
Newtown, Wellington
Phone: 027 777 2633
https://www.1nightstandsnz.com
1Night Stands is another escort agency offering incalls via appointment only at its inner city brothel.
It’s either much smaller than the agencies listed above, or it doesn’t do a good job of maintaining its active roster, since we were only able to browse three girls as available for the week ahead (October 2024, time of writing). We assume they have plenty more on their books.
The venue is close to the centre of Wellington, described as “clean but basic” in the punter reviews we saw.
Full service starts at $140 for 20 minutes, $160 for 30 minutes, $190 for 45 minutes, or $220 for 1 hour.
Some of the ladies at 1Night offer an erotic massage service. They are well trained to deliver a satisfying GFE (charged on top of the standard full service). There’s a variety of extras to choose from, including Greek, Water sports, French kissing, foot fetish play and rimming. Full details and pricing is available via their website. Outcalls are also available, starting at $330 per hour.
- Open daily, 10:00am to 10:00pm
PillowTalk
Johnsonville and Petone
Phone: TBC
https://www.pillowtalk.nz/
PillowTalk is another smaller brothel with two shops in Johnsonville and Petone. The prices are in keeping with the ‘affordable’ bordellos around town, making this a popular spot for the regular Johns.
They have a lot of Asian working girls on their books (particularly the Johnsonville branch). You can check out a schedule of who is working via the website, as well as extra services offered and basic bio info.
Full service starts at $140 for 20 minutes, $160 for 30 minutes, or $220 for 1 hour. Note you’ll pay a $20 surcharge when paying by Eftpos or credit card.
Note: Their website lists 02102384558 as the phone number, but this contradicts the number used in marketing materials on other sites (021 986966). We’re awaiting confirmation on the correct number.
- Open daily, 10:00am until Late
Splash Club
L1, 73 Courtenay Place, Wellington, 6011
Phone: 04 385 8587
https://www.splashclub.co.nz
For those who can’t handle the heat from the neighbouring Mermaids Strip Club, Splash Club is perfectly positioned to dish out full service in your moment of need.
Just be warned… it’s not the cheapest brothel in town. Far from it.
Splash is targeted at affluent punters looking to end the night in style with a high-class courtesan. They employ mostly local Kiwi girls, with around 15 sex workers listed on the website. There’s very limited information online for each of these ladies. You’ll have to walk-in if you want to get a feel for your options.
The venue is described as a “purpose built massage parlour“. although we don’t see any option for AMP-style rub and tugs on the menu. It’s just not that sort of crowd.
Full service starts at $250 for 20 minutes, $295 for 30 minutes, or $400 for 1 hour. You can upgrade to the full GFE package (hour minimum) for $500.
Cheekily, there is a whooping 15% surcharge on all electronic transactions. That’s pretty significant if you’re paying top dollar for the GFE packages.
Better hit the cash point prior to entry!
- Open daily
- Sunday, Monday, Tuesday: 10:00am to 4:00am
- Wednesday, Thursday: 10:00am to 5:00am
- Friday, Saturday: 7:00pm to 6:00am
