You pay cash for the movie, and eftpos is accepted at the bar for drinks from a list which includes interesting local wines. Seating includes single and double bean bags as well as a range of chairs/sofas, and blankets were handed out as well to keep us warm on the winter’s night. Highly recommended.…

Had a similar experience only twice: once in the cinema in Wanaka (cinema with old sofas and even a car to sit in) and in the Art Center Cinema in Christchurch (unfortunately destroyed in the earthquakes).…
