SPACIOUS, RELAXED, AND BEAUTIFUL
Hololio House
Look out over the world-class Hololio polo grounds from the veranda of this 1892-vintage Kauri homestead, and while preparing a BBQ. Set in the middle of a working farm, there's plenty of room inside and out, plus a shared solar-heated pool. Perfect for wedding groups, there is plenty of room for family members to spread out, and charming photo locations in and around the house.
Hololio Poolhouse
The Poolhouse is an exquisite event space, adjacent to Hololio House which is also available for booking, for extended celebrations with family and friends.
Polo
The Hololio Polo Club grounds sit directly below Hololio House - there is polo to watch three times a week January - March, and horse exercising September to April. In winter, we run some 1400 sheep.
What you need to know
For occasions. and family parties
Our 1892 solid kauri homestead was an original homestead for the Munro family, who settled in Clevedon in the 1850s and owned the property until 1981. It is very special to us. It is furnished with a mixture of antiques and restored and upcycled furniture. We welcome respectful groups, especially families getting together for special occasions. We live next door, so to protect our privacy and our property, Hololio House is not available for 21sts, hens and stag parties, and similar. If you are looking for a venue for such an event, and would like to book the house for accommodation (not the party), talk to us.
Being good neighbours
Guests are asked to be considerate of us and our neighbours. We have an adjacent urban/rural boundary and all outside speakers must be turned off before 10pm.
Our eco-efforts
We line dry our linen and towels, compost our food waste, and collect rainwater from our roofs. We hope you will support our efforts by reducing waste and recyling while you are with us. We are restoring a wetland just a few hundred metres from the house - a hand is always welcome! See our weddings section -our environmentally conscious guests have an option to forage for flowers and foliage here.
