Just the ticket

Matakana Cinema Complex

Those escaping Auckland for a weekend retreat can now enjoy the beach by day and Hollywood by night.

Abundant with wines, home to artists and the gateway to sandy beaches, Matakana north of Auckland has added a new attraction to its list with the development of the Matakana Cinema Complex in Matakana Valley Road.

The luxurious three screen theatre with licensed bar and café is proving popular as night time entertainment after a long hard day relaxing at the beach.

In keeping with the rustic charm of Matakana, the cinema features exposed timber joinery providing a country atmosphere in which to enjoy the latest blockbusters.

The ice-cream shop is fittingly finished in Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Stark White from the Karen Walker collection with infill panels in Resene Lustacryl tinted to Resene Napa (grey beige neutral) for visual relief.

Bathrooms are finished in funky colours over a Mediterranean texture with Resene Enamacryl tinted to Resene Groovy applied over the lightly textured Resene Sandtex complemented by a ceiling finished in Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen tinted to Resene Gravel (dark grey). The ceiling finish continues into the women's bathroom jazzed up with Resene Carpe Diem (sunshine orange) applied over Resene Sandtex.

Exterior surfaces are predominantly finished in Resene Lumbersider in hues of Resene Linen (green edged neutral), Resene Raptor (murky green) and Resene Cargo (light olive) fitting the building comfortably into its natural environment.

Those escaping Auckland for a weekend retreat can now enjoy the beach by day and Hollywood by night.
