Theater & Cinema in Auckland

“Absolutely loved the service. Kids loved the set up & the popcorn machine. Definitely recommend to others 100%”

“It's a good cinema. Very quiet during the weekday, which I like. Staff are friendly. It's over two levels. The foyer and games arcade is on one level and the theaters on another. The seats are a bit small for me as a bigger person, but generally comfortable with a lot of space between rows. All the latest releases and a good Asian selection (Bollywood, Korean, etc.), which you don't normally find at other theatres. There is 3 hour parking outside the cinema. I'm quite impressed.”

“Awesome work by Dinesh and his team. Will definitely hire him again”

“Highly recommended!! Hired this hall for a first birthday in the weekend and it was such a beautiful venue. Easy to hire, communication was quick and very efficient. Very easy to find if you are using the google maps. We hired the main hall and small meeting room next to the kitchen and the kitchen we also added the Full stage and AV package. We were given a video with instructions on how to use the Full AV and it was very informative and very easy to follow. For someone who don’t know anything about AVs, we had no problem at all and everything worked out well. Very happy!! Photos below…”

“Going to the movies in my opinion is a special treat, and it helps when the cinema has everything you need for a great time. Hoyts Wairau is very convenient located, and has plenty of parking which makes a huge difference, so you're not stressed before the film looking for a park. Once inside, the comfort continues with plush, comfortable seating that lets you sink in and put your feet up. No cinema trip is complete without snacks, and a good variety ensures there's something for everyone, from classic popcorn to more gourmet options.”

“Great cinema in the heart of Mission bay.. paid parking available behind the restaurants and cinema block. Service is friendly and relaxed. Grab a glass of your fav tipple before settling in for your choice of viewing. Thumbs up all the way!”

“Had a great experience here recently! Shout out to Maddie who was very helpful and welcoming to me and the kids - she was brilliant! Will definitely be returning soon :)”

“I can recommend Backyard Flicks. They were so helpful in catering for our needs, which was a Youth Group for upto 30 young people. We took the full package out. The screen and the sound were awesome and then we had the comfy bean bags and cushions. We had so many people comment on what a lovely evening it was. You don't need to look any further than Backyard Flicks for your Movie evening.”

“I have just started on the group classes under Kacie Stetson on a weekly basis. After studying under different teachers I have at last found training that involves great tools to use. Kacie is an amazing teacher! she kicks your arse but her tough love is what gets the goods...you can trust Kacie to guide you on your journey of development. She brings her fabulicious energy and passion to her teaching! Highly recommended.”

“OMG! We just finished watching the most amazing improv show ever with Paul and his incredible team of actors! Wow — thank you so much for making our evening soooo funny! You guys absolutely rocked it — we laughed so much my cheeks are still frozen from smiling and laughing! If you haven’t seen them yet, seriously, go check out one of their classes or shows — it’s pure joy, energy, and laughter from start to finish! We loooved it sooooooo much !”

“I used Craig's team to install a new Smart Frame TV and move an old Smart Frame into my library and set it up so it worked wire free. His team were on time, thorough, professional and tidy. They did an excellent job and I would absolutely recommend them to everyone. Thank you Smart Installations for a great job.”

“A fun place for watching quirky local shows or established artists "slumming it" for intimate gigs. There's usually a great selection of wines and beers on offer and the programme shifts often enough to keep you coming back.”

“Special ordered a Wharfedale Diamond 12 series setup. Excellent turn around and service. Couldn't get surrounds, upgraded to the next model for the same price. Great service.”

“Beautiful venue and great service. An asset to the dance community.”

“Booked this for my daughter’s birthday. It was amazing! Kids had so much fun and staff were very friendly and accommodating! Highly recommend”

“What an experience! Took my girlies to their first drag show and it was incredible. Everything from the gorgeous girls, ambience, food and many laughs were just brilliant. You get to keep the souvenir cups which is a cute memory. Food tasted so homey and just what we needed before continuing the night. Bar Manager and Bartender pushed drinks out the whole time and did an awesome job. Not only the girls performances were so fun and enjoyable to watch but their service throughout the whole night were so attentive and glamorous. Met some incredible people and would highlyyyyy recommend anyone to book for either an occasion or just to try something with friends.”

“A modern French experience at an affordable price. Choose between the chef’s selection or al a carte off the menu. My companion and I went with the latter option and it was perfect! The service was exceptional. Only suggestion for the future if management can consider implementing is acting in the comments on the booking. I had advised this was for a special occasion but it wasn’t acknowledged. Nevertheless, this was a fabulous dining experience.”

“We went to the Billy Joel show on Saturday evening. It was absolutely superb - the quality of the musicians and singers far exceeded our expectations. The added bonus of a "supper" was a treat. This group should tour the country and beyond with this show. Great energy.”

“What a great and beautiful theatre the Civic is. It has so many spaces, and walking inside feels like being in a movie. It was also used by Peter Jackson to film King Kong, and today it hosts international shows. The place is very well kept, with respect for the time when it was built. The hall with its starry sky. The bronze. Everything always shining. Very recommended to visit.”

“Was Girls and Boys worth getting stuck in hour long traffic - absolutely. Simplistic yet effective staging and lighting were transformative and poignant. The dialogue sharp and witty with the lead actress blazing through a series of difficult emotions and heavy themes with flexibility and tastefulness. I'm not normally one for a one woman show - but what a show it was!”

“Wonderful Community Theatre inSouth South Auckland. A strong team of dedicated Theatre Lovers producing great shows that are full of fun. They are Super welcoming and friendly and make you feel part of the family.”

“Loved my night at the basement theatre watched survive with Adam Burrell best show!”

“I performed here. The location is good. Good parking space. It can easily accommodate 300 guests. Nice and spacious stage.”

“Great theatre. Good play and d acting. Very comfortable”

“Friendly atmosphere. Excellent show. Starts slow then quickly builds into hilarious mayham.”

“Great show thoroughly enjoyed by all of our group”

“Lovely intimate theatre. The quality of the play I saw there (Grand Horizons) was fantastic. The set design was incredible and the acting was practically professional level. The price of the ticket was very reasonable, and there is a bar that you can buy drinks and snacks from. A great night out, would highly recommend.”
