Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great food - pizza wine and home made meals and desserts, with China cups and great hosts, fantastic range of films from block busters to art house and tiny theatres - it’s a wonderful experience in winter or summer- highly recommend

Okay. Our ‘weekend’ is not the typical Saturday-Sunday but we made the most of a weekend in Akaroa with TWO movies, wine, pizza, vegan slice, popcorn...
Ethel’s is a great little cinema, cafe, bar! Excellent food, fabulous people!

Ethels is terrific!
Comfortable seats, great sound, and tasty food.
Staff was enjoyable to interact with, and the movie selection is top notch.
Well worth your time.

What a great experience! We had the Dirty Harry pizza and it was AMAZING! Such a cute little place with friendly staff and a great seaside, small town feel. Loved it! Oh, and the brownie was to die for.

An amazing boutique cinema in Akaroa, Banks Peninsula. The cinema has great sound, big screen, very comfortable huge seats, wide selection of films, with some fun themed nights and is a locally owned business.Ticks all the boxes. I just wish I could get there more often.
