It was a perfect stay for our family. Apt was very cosy, clean and well equipped. Sheryl and husband had well informed of important things to note such as where to shop, fuel, etc. prior to arrival; welcomed us and gave us wonderful recommendation for nearby POI‘s. It’s a long way from Switzerland but it’s in our favorite place to stay and will definitely come back if we ever visit NZ again.

I cannot say enough about how helpful the front office staff was. From offering to hold onto our car keys while we went on the heli-hike (which the weather ultimately didn't allow us to go), to giving us advice on the problematic road conditions for the next leg of our trip, they went out of their way to make sure our stay was convenient. And the location rocked! They're right across the street from the glacier guides. A very short walk to the main street where all the restaurants are. The room was comfortable and clean. Definitely would stay here, again.

Greeted by the owners when arrived, gave us the keys - then on top of that as we were heading to Queenstown the following day- maps, and a list of all the best stops for photos/places of interest. That is amazing. They were a lovely couple and the motel was presented beautifully - can park right at the door to unload, comfortable rooms, cute kitchenette well stocked with crockery and utensils, overall beautifully presented. Excellent location. We will definitely come back

I should have booked more nights!

Location was fantastic. Studio room was large, airy and comfortable. Kitchen area could have been slightly better equipped, there was literally two of everything. But, we managed. Loved the peace and tranquility of the place. Great value for money

Minor touches to the cleaning and room inspection, we found a large piece of broken wine glass behind one of our bedside cabinets? But overall pretty good. Did not like the notice posted in the kitchen area about not cooking certain foods including fish, curries, onions and garlic due to the possibility of enhanced smells, coupled with the associated threat of extra charges for any additional cleaning. Unnecessary! If you are providing a kitchen you have to accept that people will cook in there. As did we.

Well located, within easy walking distance to most things in Franz Josef/ Waiu. The rooms were clean and relatively well laid out. The heating worked very effectively.

The kitchen is minute and the smoke alarm very sensitive. Toast triggered it, even though the smoking was minimal, but it might have been added to by the steam from the bathroom door. The vague smell of damp in the room. But it was not lack of cleanliness that caused this, it is probably the fact that the weather is not conducive to a drier air in the rooms. I do wish that heavy quilts/ duvets were not the preference. We were too hot without the cover and too cold with just a sheet. A lighter cover would have been my preference, but this was my complaint throughout New Zealand, not just at this venue.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The lights, heating and the TV were on when we arrived, which was lovely. Car parking was great, beside the room. We were told about places to eat when we arrived. Communication before we arrived was really helpful.

The only thing I had a problem with were the pillows, flat and uncomfortable, but I'm pretty fussy when it comes to pillows, and I didn't ask if they had any other pillows available. Mainly because I went to bed after 11pm and didn't want to bother the hosts.

Great place to stay. We had a 2 bedroom apartment with a kitchen, dining table and small living room. Outside chairs and tables and a bbq. Also a laundry on site. Management was very friendly and helpful. Close to everything.

All the furniture was new and in great condition but the couch was also a pullout bed and therefore not as comfortable as could be. Makes sense to have it that way so not complaining.

Comes with spacious carpark, the room looks modern and comfy. Room is spacious and has heater in each room. Bathroom is decent size. Kitchen size is small for us as we do cooking, but is sufficient for people to prepare light meal.

The kitchen cooking area is small and the cups are store on the upper cabinet which is difficult to reach, the stove takes long time to heat things up.

The location was perfect, walking distance to the shops food places, the room was lovely & very comfortable…Graham & Cheryl are amazing people they were so welcoming, gave us directions to different places locally & on our journey….also ensured that we had to be past a certain point by a certain time before they closed the roads for repairs. I loved our short time in Franz Josep, very very beautiful❤️

Too stay longer

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 58 on Cron. Graham & Cheryl were wonderful hosts who gave us lots of information about scenic flights & other places to visit. Our room was spacious & nicely decorated with a sofa, dining table & a kitchenette that was well equipped. The surroundings were lush & very peaceful to relax in at the end of the day. Easy walk to shops & eateries. Highly recommend!
