About this Holiday House

Welcome to The Cookhouse @ Hannah's Beach! Situated in Hannahs Clearing, a 15-20 minute drive South of the Haast Township, our Historic Holiday Home, (previously the “Cookhouse” for workers at the Old Carters Mill), sits amidst the rugged beauty of the South Island’s Wild West Coast. Bordered by Rainforest and the Tasman Sea, it truly is a fabulous getaway for couples, families and friends. Completely renovated with a great kitchen and gourmet oven, dishwasher, microwave, open plan dining and living, Sky TV, a great indoor fire for those wet and wild West Coast days, four well appointed bedrooms accommodating eight (2 bedrooms with King Beds changeable to 2 x Singles, 1 bedroom with 3 singles, 1 bedroom with 1 single), one luxury bathroom with bath, shower and toilet, a separate bathroom with shower and toilet - you will find yourself in a very relaxing, cosy and comfortable environment. Nestled in a private subdivision with access to the Beach (70 metres away), there is a great deck with a barbecue and a fire pit to burn beach wood and toast marshmallows. The usually deserted Hannahs Beach (apart from driftwood) is a spectacle in itself with the sea one day being very calm and the next a torrent of raging waves (swimming not advised)! Whichever way you drive to get to The Cookhouse, down the West Coast or over the Haast Pass from Wanaka, you will enjoy spectacular mountain, bush, sea and river views, including many walks and sightseeing adventures. So come and stay at our lovely retreat and be surrounded by some of New Zealand’s most spectacular scenery! Jan and Alan

Lianne
This is a lovingly presented home with lots of wow factor. It has it's own character and it was great to read about the history of the house from the information table. Our hosts Jan and Alan were more than helpful when we needed it but also made sure we had our privacy. Their upstairs residence is set back from the Cookhouse so there are no sounds coming from above. The beach is 25 metres or so away with sandy patches when the tide is out. I had never seen piwakawaka (fantails) on the beach before either! It was a cold night and the fire kept the place deliciously warm. This is a real retreat to unwind and relax in. Love the stone-themed bathroom too! If you want something a little bit special, this is your place.
