Hannam Vale: Garden Culture and Landscape

Hannam Vale lies between national parks and state forests and is considered one of the most fertile and picturesque valleys on the Barrington Coast. The annual Hannam Vale Open Garden Day celebrates the natural beauty, rural heritage and creative culture of the Three Brothers mountain region; check the dates and program for your travel period.

Garden Culture and Market

The Hannam Vale Open Garden Day is an annual celebration of the natural beauty, rural heritage and creative culture of the Three Brothers mountain region. Selected private country gardens open to the public for the occasion. Access to them is limited to scheduled event days; check the date and program for your travel period if you would like to plan your visit around it.

The event day also features an arts, crafts and produce market at Hannam Vale Community Reserve, with local growers, makers and food vendors. The participating vendors and products on offer may vary from one event day to another. If particular stalls or goods are important to you, factor this variability into your plans.

Accommodation in Hannam Vale

Ma Petite Ferme by Misty Moos offers self-contained cottage accommodation suitable for couples and families. Misty Moos Farm Stay & Produce offers a family farm stay in the Hannam Vale Valley. The choice therefore depends first on whether you are looking for self-contained cottage accommodation or a family farm stay.

Landscape and Excursions

Waitui Falls is near Hannam Vale. A short track there provides access to picnic spots and swimming. After rain, both access to the waterfall and swimming conditions may change; bear this in mind when planning your excursion.

Towns are passed along the way to the attractions of Coorabakh National Park. The park offers scenic landscapes as well as opportunities for walking, picnicking and birdwatching. Check access and conditions before setting out. Picnicking is an option at both destinations; Waitui Falls also offers swimming and a short track, while the park offers walking and birdwatching.

Town Centre and History

In the centre of Hannam Vale is Hannam Vale Store & Cafe, which offers homemade cakes. The café menu may change. Hannam Vale Public School is a small country school founded in 1892. The old Hannam Vale Country Store was built in 1914. The school and the country store therefore provide two historical points of reference for the town.

The planning considerations differ: the Open Garden Day is tied to event days, while for nature destinations you should take into account conditions that may change after rain or check access to the park.
