| A well-kept secret in Arrowtown – a quaint, historic gold mining town about thirty minutes north of Queenstown – is Dorothy Brown's, a very chic boutique cinema tucked away off of the main street. Sit on a red fur-lined bench or bean bag chair by a roaring fire, read a book and have a glass of wine from the lobby bar while waiting for your movie. The theatre itself brings back the romance of a night at the movies with its beautiful crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and big, overstuffed seats with armrests that serve as tables. Patrons are encouraged to pre-order their wine and cheese boards at the bar before the film starts, and then pick them up during intermission to enjoy during the second half of the movie. |
