The St James – Luxury Hanmer Springs Accommodation

The St James is a Qualmark 5-star Gold Level property.

Hanmer Springs is the perfect holiday location- its paradise anytime of the year. We are only a small village but we have all the ingredients for a great holiday and there is something for everyone whether it be relaxation or adventure activities that you are looking for.

Discover the forest walks, enjoy a mountain tramp, try mountain biking, jet boating, golf or treat yourself to a relaxing massage and some time at the thermal pools.  Check out the boutique stores, cafes and restaurants and yes the village has a Supermarket, Garage, Library and Bottle Store.

We are located just off of the main street in the centre of the village overlooking Chisholm Reserve from where it is only a few minutes walk to the Thermal Pools, shops, cafes and restaurants. All rooms have air conditioning for the hot summers and heat-pumps plus underfloor tile heating to keep you cosy in the winter.

We invite guests who are staying for more than one night to contribute to our ‘Save a Service Plant a Tree’ initiative.  This means for every daily Room Service that a guest chooses NOT to have for more than two nights during their stay The St James will purchase on new tree which will be planted in Hanmer Springs by the Hanmer Springs Conservation Trust.

Please note our entire property is SMOKE FREE and pets are not permitted.

We look forward to welcoming and hosting you at The St James and we know you will love our special part of New Zealand.

  • One of the best!

    Lovely comfortable studio! We loved everything about it, the great view of the mountains, nice and warm with underfloor heating, good water pressure, modern kitchen, great bed! Also friendly service from staff. I highly recommend this motel!

  • Excellent place to stay

    We've stayed in many places in Hanmer over the years, including high end B&B's and another highly rated motel that promised far more than it delivered. But for comfort, privacy, quality, service and location we cannot go past The St James. Keep up the great work, team - we look forward to our next visit.

  • Can't wait to come back!

    Booked our stay last minute Sharon was a great host. We loved our stay extending twice. Units are perfect location and rooms are exceptionally clean. Free laundry which was super. Towels handed out for hot pools. Couldn't have asked for more. Thanks
