Stay sustainably: The St James
Hanmer Springs is known for its breathtaking landscapes, natural hot pools, and various activities.
A delightful trip in any season—it’s just 90 minutes from Christchurch. Arrive, take in the mountain surroundings, and breathe in the fresh alpine air. The picturesque St James Hotel is centrally located and is a Qualmark 5-star Gold Level property. They’re endorsing green initiatives with EV chargers on site as well as supporting the Hanmer Springs Conservation Trust. 
“We invite guests staying for more than one night to contribute to our ‘save a service, plant a tree initiative’,” says manager Salil. “If you forgo daily room servicing for two nights plus, we purchase a tree to be planted by the Hanmer Springs Conservation Trust.”
The cosy rooms all feature underfloor heating, heat pumps and cooling systems, making them ideal year-round. Select rooms as part of the hotel’s specials also include a luxury spa, breakfast at a local café, thermal pool passes, and a relaxing massage for two.
The elegant St James Hotel provides several fabulous offers, which you can read more about under the ‘specials’ tab on their website. The packages offered aren’t valid on Friday and Saturday nights, school holidays or public holidays.
