Advantages: Out of the ordinary cinema, seats in a car, homemade cookies!

Disadvantages: Busy, not showing new releases.

Lake Wanaka is a lovely little town but if you're pushed for time there or perhaps suffering from what sometimes seems like the never ending rain of New Zealand then Cinema Paradiso is well worth a visit. This quaint little cinema is situated just a short walk from the town centre. It shows a selection of films daily on it's one screen. The unusual seating arrangements include a range of sofas and chairs and strangely an old Morris Minor. Before and after or even during the film you can have a meal and choose from a reasonably priced menu. All films include an interval where you can go and buy some of the freshly baked cookies which are still warm or some homemade icecream.

The cinema doesn't show the latest films but instead shows a range of interesting and older films. It's worth checking out the schedule for a fews days so you can see what film you might like and be sure to book ahead as it does get very busy for the night time viewings.
