Sister and I attended 3.15pm screening of Tinā. Told we’d be alerted when it was time to go in. Never happened. Got in AFTER 3.15. Group of children were still inside cinema cleaning their mess. Couldn’t help cringing at the Sergeant Major actions of the adults in charge..SO uptight lining up the kids, correcting something trivial.. What an extreme way to enjoy school holidays and keep us waiting. Staff were fluffing about trying to sort things for next screening. . Absolutely DISGRACEFUL display of unprofessional behaviour from a senior female staff member who marched up to a customer, snatched a cup of coffee from table and headed towards the counter. When questioned by customer, staff member turned around and loudly accused the patron of not paying or something similar. Power tripping and obviously an exhibitionist.. WHATEVER the issue, there were several options of handling the situation professionally and privately. It caused unnecessary anxiety and embarrassment to those being accused. Won’t be back to Lighthouse Petone.. ridiculous prices, average service and fake staff. Thank goodness the film was worth it.
Comfortable chairs and tables and chairs to enjoy tea, coffee and food before the movie. You can also take your purchases into the theatre to eat and drink during the movie, and there are ledges on the arms of the comfortable sofas on which to put your drinks. An altogether pleasant experience and we really enjoyed the movie too.
Always have something I want to drink - Lovely French reds for the French Film Festival and hot chocolate for a cold night. And good range of little sweet things. Plus have plenty of seats, even a couch to wait. And a free carpark just across the street.
It is so lovely and comfortable. Great staff, who are friendly and helpful. Clean and just all-around lovely space to go. I especially love that it's not as loud as other cinemas, hugely important for someone with tinnitus.
Love watching movies in an intimate setting. For our last visit we watch Tina. A fantastic kiwi movie that theatre's like this give vital oxygen to. The ice cream is great too!
