1 / 3Shoreline Cinema
📍 Waikanae, Wellington
Small independent cinema in Waikanae's shopping centre with comfortable sofa seating, a front-of-house cafe serving quality coffee and baked goods, and easy front parking. Screens a rotating selection of current films — staff can take requests.
Great cinema, very intimate. Staff are great, nice selection of hot and cold soft drinks, alcohol and snacks. Plenty of parking out the front. Because this cinema is small the selection of what they are playing is small. Have request tickets then they call you back (I like this).
🏆 Family Action Verdict
The cheese and date scones, the sofa seating and the fact that you can request a film make this feel like a cinema that actually wants you there — an intimate local alternative to multiplex anonymity.

Overview
Shoreline Cinema offers a genuinely cosy movie experience — sofas with side-table arms, a selection of cold and hot drinks including alcohol and snacks, and a small front cafe with fresh baking and quality coffee. The venue is compact, so the film selection at any one time is small, and staff operate a callback system for requested screenings. Parking directly out front. Pram access.
