We went to a few different cinemas during our stay in NZ - this was another really nice one. It has plenty of original features as we went to the screen showing our film - plenty of art deco had been lovingly restored and it really added to the experience as opposed to going to the usual mordern multiplexes. The seats were very comfortable and plenty of room for me to stretch-out (being 6tf 3 and often cramped when faced with less room seats!). The seats were arranged in a slightly circular effect and it really worked nicely. An all-round nice venue for watching a film and only just around the cornerr from our hostel. read more

Although design is a bit dated as compared to Reading, but the cinemas here are larger in both seating capacities and screen sizes. Seats are fabric covered, and comfortable enough, and is less packed. The movie screenings are also slightly different, so one would definitely notice a slightly different audience being catered to. If you do frequent this movie house, be sure to join the Cinebuzz club as you get one free movie for every six watched. read more
