Spacious and brand new but soulless. Our view was of a vacant lot complete with derelict vehicles and a garage or hangar with broken windows. Not worth the expense.
An excellent motel, very close to central Hanmer Springs (and an easy walk to the hot pools, and to Monteiths Brew Bar. I especially like that the room had real (plunger) coffee - not instant. (Everyone, repeat after me: Instant 'coffee' is not coffee!) From now on, this will be my preferred motel whenever I visit Hanmer Springs.
There was an issue with the refrigerator with over freezing and causing loss of food. Despite the very good TV instructions, accessing SKY was problematic,

Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We are really sorry for the inconvenience caused to you for the issue of freeze in the room. We have fixed that now and are hoping to welcome you back at our property again in the future.
Great property. Extremely well appointed. Large modern room. Great views. Very much like a city property in it's room design.
Really nice manager who was both friendly and helpful.
A great property for the last night of our NZ holiday.

Lovely hotel close to town, but unfortunately there is no lift if you are on the second story, and no one at reception to help. My husband and I have back and neck issues, it was a struggle lifting the cases up 2 flights of stairs.
Situated in the centre of Hamner Springs meant we could walk everywhere. It was tastefully decorated and furnished and very clean. We would thoroughly recommend staying at St James.

Thanks for choosing to stay with us and we appreciate your recommending us.
We were greeted by Jan in reception who was helpful and knowledgeable of the area. The room had everything we needed for a nights stay. Clean and great location to rest of town.
