1 / 2The Roxy Cinema
π Miramar, Wellington
Beautifully restored art deco cinema screening new releases and anniversary classics. Spacious red Italian leather seats, a waterfall curtain, back-row love couches, and a Thunderbirds model collection upstairs.
π Family Action Verdict
The art deco interior and proper big-screen atmosphere make this feel genuinely special rather than just a cinema trip. The vegetarian sausage roll earned its own mention in reviews.

βWe LOVED this movie theatre! We went to see Spider Man and ended up seeing another movie after that as there was a cinema festival happening. Shame cinemas in NZ donβt seem to serve sweet and salty popcorn. Iβd be there weekly if I lived in Wellington.β

βGreat history, great food options- got the vegetarian sausage roll and it was unreal. The red Italian leather seats were super spacious and comfortable. The back row offers a love couch style so couples can sit together.β

βWhat a great job they have made of the old place. Superb service and smiles all round. I remember the dentist upstairs and a chemist on the left. Oh and the barber/hairdresser down back.β
