Went here to see Marty Supreme with a friend and had the most accommodating staff member serving me. Liz helped out in any way possible with a beautiful smile on her face. Will definitely be coming back!

“Ever since Silky Otter opened we have supported it and been several times. The chairs, comfort, serene environment is luxurious and yes you pay for it..love having drinks before and then delivered during the movie..what I haven’t enjoyed is people eating noisily and crunching on food (chicken?) while I’m watching the movie..it’s just a bit invasive, smelly and gross. Maybe it was the guy next to me and his chewing etc..!!! I have been surprised by the lack of festival or “cooler” type movies..we would def go more often if they had in my opinion better choices on offer. All in all a great addition to Ponsonby and a positive experience.”

“I went with my partner to watch "The Roses " movie, it was a great experience with friendly staff and a good size cinema. The recliners were comfy and the food we had was of a good standard. We will be back.”
