The Stoaker Room Cromwell

Kiwi delicacies paired with award-winning wine—what's not to like at The Stoaker Room Cromwell? Nestled alongside Lake Dunstan, it receives all-day sun and offers gorgeous lake views. Head to the patio, where you can soak (or drink) in the neighboring vineyard.

Prepare to eat like a king! With feasts and banquets designed for groups, this is your chance to see what the stoaker has been rustling up and gorge on perfectly smoked venison, pork belly, lamb rump, ribeye, and Akaroa salmon, all served with grilled veggies, salads, and sauces on the side. You can also design your meal around a particular meat, whether it's Cajun chicken thigh or wagyu beef rump, and add the sides that take your fancy.

You can even indulge in perfectly succulent burgers, all of which have gone through the stoaker treatment. With beef patties, pork belly, smoked cauliflower, and pulled mushrooms on the menu, carnivores and omnivores alike can enjoy their new favorite cooking method. You'll find yourself dining among dozens of wine barrels, so you can be sure to get a splendid bottle. Simply ask the staff for recommendations—they'll give you some grape advice. Who else is stoked?!
