In Franz Josef I stayed at the Scenic hotel (nothing like seeing the glacier outside the door). Many others stayed at various hostels. The town is maybe three blocks long? Had a great massage at hotel after a fabulous and much recommended kayaking adventure with Glacier Country Kayaks. I did the helicopter hiking tour which due to weather was cut short as we were on glacier

In Queenstown I stayed at the Crowne Plaza good location, great views much cheaper than Sofitel
