Some harder holes and some holes that were not as hard. The staff were friendly too. Will definitely be back again next time we are up! ❤️”

“Event Cinema NP is an excellent cinema since everything had an upgrade! Nice comfy chairs, plenty of space. There is a great candy bar with lots to pick from, including alcoholic beverages, which is nice. Parking can be tricky, but we usually park under the warehouse, which is only a short 3-minute walk away and is free after 5 pm. Staff are usually friendly.”

Level 2, Queensgate Shopping Mall, 45Knights Road, Lower Hutt 5010, New Zealand

“Stepping into this cinema is like diving into a movie lover's paradise! The staff, oh the stars of the show, are absolutely fantastic. Imagine a whirlwind of activity, yet amidst this busy backdrop, there's this incredible lady at the counter who's like a superhero, ensuring no popcorn is left behind – especially when I almost forgot mine! The cinemas themselves? Picture this: grandiose in size yet cozy as your living room, with seats so comfortable you'll feel like you're lounging on clouds. And the cherry on top? Its location is a strategic masterpiece, perched just above one of the main entrances, a mere hop, skip, and a jump – or should I say, just two floors up. It's like finding a hidden gem in the heart of the hustle and bustle!”

The sculptures were interesting. Hubby is a metal and stainless steel fabricator, sò was very impressed with the metal sculptures. The gardens were immaculate and the cafe area was clean and welcoming, after the walk. It’s well manned by friendly, young staff members. All in all, a great experience. Highly recommended.”

Always fun to go there! And if a book isn’t available I request it and it’s mostly available within a day or 2/3 😄 …”

11-14 Mall Street, Queenstown 9197, New Zealand

“Omg this cinema was just a bit sub-par. We walked in, it was clean enough but smells of BO and cheap deodorant. It was so stuffy in there I didn’t feel too well. It felt better as the movie started though. The food and drinks seemed very overpriced. Not my favourite movie experience, although the staff members were very friendly.”

3074332, Dunedin 9016, New Zealand

“While at Port Chalmers, we opted for a shuttle to venture into Dunedin. Along the way, the Dunedin Railways Station immediately captured our attention, standing out as we passed by en route to the Octagon. Despite its modest size, the architectural splendor of this building is truly remarkable. The exterior is adorned with a vibrant garden that harmoniously complements its design, creating a picturesque setting. Upon entering, we were further impressed by the grandeur of the main interior. The wheelchair-accessible main entrance facilitated our initial exploration, yet we encountered a limitation at the double-leaf back door, which was only partially opened toward the railway. This restriction hindered our ability to fully circumnavigate the station and appreciate the view of the railway from the rear. We managed to find our way to see the railway by passing through the side entrance.”

4 Queens Wharf, Te Aro, Wellington 6011, New Zealand

“Fantastic place for small kids to come and play. Full of exciting things to see and do from a sqaushy footpath to an awesome play houses and teepee's. Come with it's own photo booth that with $2 will take a photo and print it out. The drawing tables really encourages creativity.”
