"They now have wheelchair access!!!
It's brilliant. I was there today. Super impressed with both the set up and the service.They also honour Companion cards.
Just ring ahead and they will come down and meet you at the bottom of the stairs. It was no hassle.
I will definitely be going back. Places that provide disability access with a smile will always get my repeat business.
Everything about the place is beautiful."

"An old style cinema but restored, painted and air-conditioned. Love the old-style sofas."
Conal Healy
"So rare these days to find an arthouse cinema with a genuinely good place to hang out. The music on the balcony sessions plus a movie is as good as it gets in Northern Rivers. Staff are friendly, atmosphere is great, couches are comfy."
