There are not enough superlatives for this motel. Ultra clean room with attention to little details: two hair dryers, towels for visiting the hot springs, very comfortable bed, free laundry with good machines, a kitchen area so well furnished that there was even a toast rack! And then on the little private patio area outside our sliding door there were beautiful views of the mountains at sunset.

Second visit to St James and booked St James Suite. Great location and staff were very friendly and helpful.
Several issues with room and very disappointing given extra charged for a ‘suite’. Had to call staff to fix TV which wasn’t working at all and while this was promptly fixed the position of sky box and TV meant you had to stand directly side on to TV to operate remote. There was no air con in bedroom so given its summer the bedroom temperature was unbearable and mattress very very hard so impossible to sleep. Would not recommend paying extra for a suite at all. Our previous stay was in a deluxe room which was far nicer.
This room was tired and facilities old and not worth price. Very disappointing.

Superb accommodation in great location.

We are frequent visitors to Hanmer Springs and have stayed in a variety of accommodation types and locations. The St James is my favourite thus far. From the friendly and personal check-in experience to the generous luxurious, immaculately clean and well appointed room ,The St James did not disappoint.

The location was fabulous - adjacent to the shops and town centre, close walking distance to the thermal pools, recreational activities, restaurants and cafes along with outdoor walking tracks and amenities.

I will definitely be back , this time for a longer stay.

I stayed for three nights in an upstairs room facing the mountains. The staff are friendly and professional.

Everything in our room was clean, comfortable and modern. I particularly liked the balcony and kitchenette. The bathroom was lovely too and it was a nice touch to be given towels specifically for the hot pools.

Although the accommodation is located close to the heart of town but it’s still peaceful and relaxing.

Although described as luxury bedding we did not find this the case. The bed was hard with basic bedding. The positioning of our bed made our view very average

The room was fine with a lovely mountain view from the patio. Unfortunately, we pretty much had to keep our drapes closed most of the time because there were people walking closely by. The kitchenette was very well equipped and that was nice. The bathroom was okay - lovely shower with nice water pressure, but the vanity was very small and what little counter area there was had the veneer lifting and bubbling, so it was hard to sit anything down. Overall, though, the staff were lovely and helpful and we enjoyed our stay.

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.

A great place to stay!

This was a very good place. The staff were very friendly and helpful and provided good information on the location (including a very interesting sculpture walk). The unit was comfortable and had everything that was needed.

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.
