PLEASE NOTE: We will not be offering our two for one deals on Monday 23rd of October, due to the Public Holiday. Apologies for the inconvenience. 

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. 
*excluding public holidays

On the third Monday of each month, The Cross host Life Drawing Classes in the Guest Room, 7-9pm. Come along and enjoy an evening of tutored life drawing with art facilitaor ex·tra·or·di·naire Dan Wilkinson, artist and teacher at The Learning Connexion.

$10 unwaged or $15 waged, no need to book, just bring some cash for the class and maybe a drink or two, and enjoy learning some new skills and creating an image of the human form.

There will be some materials provided, but these are limited, so if you're able to bring along some of your own, that'd be greatly appreciated.

There are limited spaces available and the class works on a first in first served basis, so try to get along early to nab yourself a spot before they all fill up.

See you there!

We love brunch as much as any good Wellingtonion – it’s one of our favourite times of the week! Every Saturday and Sunday from 10am-2pm, our place is the perfect spot to bring your family and friends for a bite to eat.

We’ve got the kids covered, with colouring in, facepainting, toys and kid-friendly staff ready to get involved! – join our kids mailing list to find out more.

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.

*Please note that October's Puppet Show will be held a week early on Saturday 21st of October, not the 28th. 

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!

Pop in on Tuesday or Thursday morning and we have a little something special for you. We dedicate our lovely Guest Room to parents and little ones. This is the perfect space – a large enclosed area with comfy couches and carpet to crawl around on! We have a professional massage therapist, offering up some relief for all of you hard-working parents! Enjoy a FREE 10 minute back, neck and shoulder massage while our lovely staff member takes your baby off your hands… heaven! Did we mention this is free?!

Please note that due to ANZAC Day Trading Restrictions, Cross Critters is unable to be held Tuesday the 25th of April. We will be open, but for the "Purposes of Dining Only" until 1pm - more info on that here. 

We love brunch as much as any good Wellingtonion – it’s one of our favourite times of the week! Every Saturday and Sunday from 10am-2pm, our place is the perfect spot to bring your family and friends for a bite to eat.

We’ve got the kids covered, with colouring in, facepainting, toys and kid-friendly staff ready to get involved! – join our kids mailing list to find out more.

If you’re keen to come in for some kai and kids activities on the weekend, we recommend you give us a bell first to book a table.

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.

*Please note that October's Puppet Show will be held a week early on Saturday 21st of October, not the 28th. 

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!
