Clevedon is a charming village with plenty to offer. From boutique vineyards to our local brewery, Hallertau, the area is celebrated for its food and wine. Dining options range from fine dining at Vin Alto to casual village favourites like Blue Elephant Thai, takeaway spots, and cosy cafés. Be sure to check out The Farmhouse, a local institution, perfect for weekend brunch or their famous high tea.Outdoor Adventures
For those drawn outdoors, the surrounding landscape offers plenty to explore. Duder Regional Park provides a spectacular coastal peninsula walk, while the Hunua Traverse can be enjoyed on foot or by bike. Fourforty Mountain Bike Park, located toward Ōrere, is a favourite for riders, and a network of local walking trails weave through the village and surrounding countryside.Art lovers will enjoy Riverhaven Artland, a landscaped garden walk showcasing sculptures by leading New Zealand artists, alongside the Riverhaven Art Gallery.
Must Do: Clevedon Farmers Market

Expect excellent coffee, fresh pastries, gourmet produce, flowers, and local makers.A curated area guide is available for guests staying at Hololio House, and we’re always happy to share recommendations or highlight upcoming local events.

Testimonials
"Our research group stayed for 4 days/3 nights at Hololio House for a writing retreat. There was ample space for our group of seven to work with our laptops, and the grounds made for a lovely wander as a break from our work. The rooms and beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed eating out in Clevedon in the evenings. Many thanks to our wonderful hosts for the perfect stay, we highly recommend this accommodation!"

"Was an absolute dream to have our special day here. There was a space for all our guests of all ages to roam (even four-legged ones) and then warm by the fire at the end of the night. Clevedon was a perfect spot for an easy getaway from the city and guests were able to stay and then pop to the markets for brunch the next day. Camilla, Josephine, Nick, thank you for being so accommodating and for sharing your home with us."
— Claire Byrne"Hololio provided the perfect venue for my 50th birthday party. We had an amazing girls night in the house, which is a fantastic space that has loads of charm and character. The high quality linen and fresh flowers throughout were a lovely touch. We also used the Pool House for an informal weekend lunch party for 50 people. The Hololio team provided useful advice on service providers that could help with the setup. Highly recommended."
