  • 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
