Jollie's Pass Hotel

Jollie's Pass Hotel (R. W. Hood, proprietor), Hanmer. This hotel is situated in Jollie's Pass, about two miles from Hanmer Springs, and was established about the year 1862, by the old Provincial Council, for the benefit of travellers between Christchurch and Nelson. For the first few years it was carried on by the Government, and was afterwards leased successively by Count Delapasture, Mr. G. T. Russell and Mr. G. Fry. In 1882 it was taken over by Mr. Idle, who carried it on until 1895, when the present proprietor entered into possession. The building has fifty-five rooms, including a billiard room, sitting room, etc., and has a cosy appearance, being situated among trees at the foot of the pass and mountains. It is much patronised during the season by visitors to the Hot Springs. The hotel is the station for the Culverden-Hanmer coaches, and ample stabling is provided.
