Theater in Auckland

“Enjoyed the music and venue. Pity they were not always in tune. But it was a step back down memory lane.”

“Very interesting neighbourhood cinema!”

“Very interesting to watch part of the rehearsal, and what goes on behind the scenes of a stage production.”

“I'm not normally one to right reviews but these guys deserve it. After driving over half of Auckland looking to buy a fridge, these guys, in particular Andrew, were absolutely amazing. I was not dressed up and had been ignored by all the retailers and sales people at other businesses I had visited prior to Magness Benrow but these guys gave me amazing customer service and I was not judged by my appearance. Andrew was very knowledgeable, I told him what I was needing and asked for his opinion and he suggested many points across the fridges I was looking at that I hadn't even thought of. Andrew made the entire process stress free and enjoyable. I purchased the Fridge on Saturday and it was delivered to my house Tuesday. No delays, very efficient. The delivery guys were great! They were very careful and even moved my old fridge into the garage for me. A+++++ will be coming here for any new appliances in the future.”

“Good open place for community to use for free, stage and Amphitheatre”

“Really helped my decision between macbook m3 15" and m4 13". Very insightful. Decided on m3 15". Thank you especially to the person at JB who I did not but should have asked his name.”

“Where the world begins its day, In the distant South Pacific spray, Lies Aotearoa, green and grand, A sacred and majestic land. ​From Cape Reinga's northern reach, To Stewart Island's rugged beach, Two islands carved by fire and ice, A paradise of sheer device. ​The Southern Alps, a spine of snow, Where azure glaciers slowly flow, Reflected deep in mirroring lakes, While Milford Sound its wonder makes. ​The geothermal heart beats warm, In Rotorua, 'mid the swarm Of boiling mud and steaming vents, A primal power that transcends. ​The kiwi bird, elusive, shy, Beneath the fern trees watching by. The Māori culture, strong and proud, With haka chanted for the crowd. ​The coast is lined with golden sand, Washed by the Tasman's restless hand, And waves that crash and softly sigh, Beneath a vast and endless sky. ​Of sheep on hills and wine in sun, Where ancient forests are outrun Only by rivers rushing free— A land of pure diversity. ​A spirit wild, a gentle soul, New Zealand makes the heart feel whole.”

“Wonderful outing and great atmosphere. Big comfy seats. Disappointed they didn’t have chocolate nut ice creams”

“Newly refurbished and it looks like a classical cinema. They also have a burger and shake bar on top of the escalators. What was nice was that they deliver some items (milkshake in my case) to you in the theater. Nice and clean and really comfy seats.”

“I like that Westgate Cinemas offers half price Tuesday tickets, especially since movie prices keep climbing. Most of the time I’m fine waiting for Tuesday instead of paying full price on release day, so it makes going to the movies more affordable and enjoyable. The cinema is always clean, the staff are friendly, and it’s a solid place to catch a film without breaking the bank.”

“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.”

“Saw Avatar Fire and Ash in 3D yesterday, great movie with really nice visuals. Also forgot to take my phone with me when I left the cinema room, but luckily someone gave it to the cinema staff and it was kept safe until the following day. Not sure how to pass on my thanks to the guy who handed my phone in so if he ever comes across this review, thanks a lot for giving my phone to the staff, you're awesome.”

“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!”

“One of the best schools in New Zealand. Their students are kind , polite and smart. They have very good academic NCEA results and high entrance university rates. The school is very nice and clean , equipped with excellent facilities e.g. swimming pool, tennis courts.”

“Cosy club rooms and high quality musical theatre is created by this organization”

“Had our grad here and nice historical clean venue”

“Overall really good experience. I came out as a changed person after 5 years of working in the coal mines. Really makes you a strong person and gives you a high pain tolerance due to constant whipping and mining. - especially on whipping Wednesday. 10/10 and bring your kids as will set them up for a good career of top mining.”

“Mitch and his team member were so helpful today while I purchased a new camera for my business. Great, friendly customer service which made the shopping experience so much more enjoyable. Kind, knowledgeable workers with next level customer service. Thanks Mitch & team!”

“Definitely a must to check out if your in the heart of the city, was designed for the rugby World Cup but has since been transformed in a rec centre and exhibition centre as well. Was attacked by a tornado recently so have been sent in to do repair work will post more pics in time for update”

“the interior is so cool but i kinda got mixed up with the escalators and the stairs were kinda weird for leading into a bunch of different stores like the back of daiso. very spacious area but it feels lonely without a massive amount of people. i hope more ppl will visit this place so i can follow the crowd if i need to get out of the building.”

“This boutique cinema I highly recommend for films from other countries that are insightful and memorable. The Documentary State Organs was official contender for 97th Oscars, and win 42 international accolades. It screened August 2025 at Rialto cinema, Newmarket. Transplant human soul collective theme is "want too much another". It is excruciatingly painful for donors, a lot of the time even more so than donor recipients. Liver organ is "regeneration" which can be controlled by being immersed in the Arts- books, film, music, acting. Kidney organs is "marriage ability" which takes a lot of control to manifest the "same right yoke" (Christian term for marriage husband and wife equality). The book Soulmates by Author Rita Roger's is my number one book to describe what everyone has, that one truest love above all, that no one can replace or understand same way. Next year a German Doctor will find me, as he appears in my dreams vividly this year, repeatedly even astral sex lol. Anyway, so this movie State Organs is a documentary to be taken most seriously. I'm a world-ranking University of Auckland Arts graduate in history and media that included: Grades A for Chinese Contemporary Media Grade B plus for Screening Hong Kong Grade B plus Media Studies Grade B for Health Systems This documentary is powerful, and exposes China's state sanctioned billion dollar transplant industry which is forced organ harvesting and brutal prosecution of Falun Gong spiritual believers. Falun Gong protest on Queen street whilst exercising in Tai Chi groups. Transplant abuse even involves tourism to China for this purpose. In New Zealand, there are complimentary alternative healers that can work alongside a Doctor which is what University taught to avoid terminal diseases/conditions. TCM Chinese acupuncture and masseuse on K Road is one good recommendation, as well as colon care in Morningside with colonic hydrotherapy and naturopaths also available. "Human need to poop" is panda animal soul collective theme, which is China's national animal. There is a Facebook group called Kiwis Against Forced Organ Harvesting's that people can also join. This boutique cinema has comfortable seats, tidy, clean with boutique cafe, good for special occasions of film screenings. Highly recommend.”

“Love coming here! I love the $8 happy hour cocktails from 3-5pm. Foods are amazing. The Crispy Pork is the Best!, mocktails are so good, $1 each Chicken, and the friendly service person :)”

“Good place to get presents. Often see nice clothes and kitchen stuff at bargain prices”

“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 :)”

“Great plays, wonderful generous food and displays on opening nights”

“Very convenient theatre, decent size approximately 800 seating capacity.”

“Fabulous dinner :) We came for a meal before a show at the Q theatre, and enjoyed the best burgers in town! Great presentation, flavour and price, thanks so much!”

“I've been visiting Gatau House Cafe recently and absolutely love it. Their coffee is consistently delicious, and the cakes are just amazing — fresh, flavorful, and a perfect match with a cup of coffee. As a student, I really appreciate the discount they offer, which makes it even more enjoyable. The service is superb, the staff are always friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The atmosphere in the cafe is wonderful too - calm, cozy, and relaxing, making it a perfect spot to study, catch up with friends, or just unwind. Highly recommend Gatau House to anyone looking for a great coffee and cake experience.”

“Was looking at getting new headphones, while store happened quite a bit busy during a sale the staff still managed to be very helpful to me in managing to find the right product. Have to give a very grateful thanks to Joshua B for his patience and knowledge on audio, offered amazing customer service.”

“We went to a late movie and was surprised at how clean, quiet and how comfortable the seats were plus you get a little table for your treats in the premium cinema. Was a enjoyable movie night out .”
