Hopstock 2018+
Hopstock is a celebration of New Zealand's hop harvest, specifically the fresh-hopped beers that can only be crafted in a very small window following the annual hop harvest.
We were fortunate enough to draw Eagle Brewing as our brewery for this years Hopstock. Eagle Brewing is a multi-award winning microbrewery, and is a family business with big ambitions. All brews are produced on-site, preservatives free, and are also suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
The Eagle Brewing Hopstock beer will be a fresh hop version of their South Island Pale Ale. Pop down & try it during the festival - this will be pouring at ours from 18th - 23rd of April.

STONEGRILLS
Every Monday and Tuesday we offer stonegrill meals – two for the price of one (the meal of lesser value is free)!
If you haven’t had a Stonegrill meal before you should try it out - your food is cooked by YOU, at your table, on a 400 degree Celsius volcanic rock, with no added fats or oils. Just like a mini BBQ, cooked to perfection because you cooked it!
This deal is available Monday and Tuesday*, Midday – 1.30pm, and then again from 5.30pm onwards. We only have a limited number of stones (and they take a good few hours in the oven to heat back up) so they're only available on a first-in, first-served basis. Get in quick so you don't miss out!

excluding public holidays
STEAKS AND BURGERS
If stonegrills don't tickle your fancy (or you missed out), never fear - we have 2 of our Porterhouse Steak meals for $35, or any 2 of our Burgers for $30. These deals are on every Monday and Tuesday* evening, from 5.30pm.

KidzStuff Puppet Show and Workshop+
Every fortnight The Cross celebrates free theatre for children with either a puppet show & workshop or an interactive production of a well known fairy tale from Playshop.
Today we have Fingal from KidzStuff Theatre, our puppeteer master - she and her puppet friends have an exciting tale to tell, and their show will be followed by a puppet making workshop - just bring a sock and you could be leaving with a new puppet friend!
Every other fortnight, on the second Saturday of the month, we host Playshop's interactive kids theatre productions, where the actors and kids recreate classic fairy tales, using dress ups, props and creative minds!
As per all our activities at The Cross, the shows are free, so come one come all, bring a friend or three and enjoy some fun theatre and stories. Shows start at 11am in our Guest Room so make sure you're in nice and early to secure a good spot.
These shows will go hand in hand with our other weekendly kids activities such as face painting, crafts and colouring-in. Check out our kids activities here, or sign up to our newsletter here to stay in the loop with other events and fun things happening at The Cross for the little ones.
Southern Cross are proud sponsors of KidzStuff Theatre. If you enjoy these shows, check out their other plays and performances - usually in the school holidays!

Hot Ostrich +
Come and join the self-proclaimed almighty "Hot Ostrich" as we delve into the warm depths of the Ostrich feathers, navigating each feather with a nimbleness not unlike a small, well-rested snake. Who knows where we may end up? Highly likely we will be fairly stationary, so I could make a few guesses that would be the same.. but nonetheless we will compress and decompress air so fast that you'll be like 'I think there's a band on in there' and you'll be right. Amazing! See you there!
