Geoff's Review
A new cinema, in a refurbished building (opened May 2014). A cinema with a very old name, in a town which has not had a cinema for 20 or more years. A welcome addition to the Waikato, as an alternative for locals who no longer have to travel north to Hamilton cinemas, or west to the Regent in Te Awamutu. It may take some initial searching if you are not familiar with Cambridge (the birthplace of Billy T. James). It can found opposite the Vehicle Testing building on Lake Street, behind the large pink former church (now a Good George bar/restaurant), as you enter the town from the north.
The Tivoli is owned partners Shane Jarrett and Karen Hawes, who previously owned the classy Shoreline Cinema in Waikanae and Finns in Paekakariki. The Tivoli is in the style of the Shoreline, with sparkling interiors and excellent sight-lines in three cinemas. More recently, they have opened a companion Tivoli cinema in Papamoa, on the coastal strip close by Tauranga.
The Tivoli has adventurous programming, a mix of art house, National Theatre and popular titles.
Cambridge is one of New Zealand's prettiest towns and serves a broad swath of well-heeled dairy farming and horse-breeding interests. It has also become a centre for sports development, with the opening of the grand Cycling Velodrome just out of town, as well as being the home of gold medal-winning Olympians.
With the opening of the SH1 bypass in late 2015, there is less traffic rumbling through the centre of town, making it even more agreeable place to visit.
