Cinema Paradiso - Wanaka

The way movies should be! With an intermission break (5-10mins) halfway thru the movie. So you are able to get a freshly baked cookie (still warm), another cheeky glass of wine/ beer, or a quick pit stop to the bathroom before going back to watch the remainder of your movie. Great atmosphere, with great seating options available in three cinemas on-site. Cinema 1 2 are the larger cinemas, while cinema 3 is more cosier. Lounge options, bean bags, sitting within a car in cinema 1 or 2. Food is lovely, cookies are super tasty and a huge variety of ice creams to choose from.

Excellent little cinema, small and not overcrowded. Lots of options for new movies. Love that they have an intermission and you can use the bathroom or get snacks etc. They sell large cookies with or without ice cream which people love! If only there was a vegan cookie option!

Love the half time cookies. Amazing customer service, they went above and beyond to accommodate us when we were late to a showing (my own fault) and every staff member we met was friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back

The beginning of the brake could have been better. But being able to order food for the brake is a nice service. Having a sofa is even better. I noticed nothing bad.

The cookies are fantastic. Best cookies I've had in Australia and new Zealand. They taste homemade and are fresh out of the oven. The movie experience was lovely. The staff are very friendly and we loved the vibe here. Highly recommend this cinema if staying in Wanaka.
