The Hollies is located in the heart of historic Guildford and the Swan Valley region, famous for its wineries and restaurants.

The pretty market town of Guildford was one of 3 towns established in the Swan River colony in 1829. The entire town has been classified by the National Trust and features many heritage listed buildings. Guided walks and self guided walk trails are available from the Swan Valley Visitor Centre located in the original 1866 courthouse, just a short walk from The Hollies.

The Hollies is also within walking distance of Guildford town centre with its interesting antique shops and cafes, the picturesque Chapel of St. Mary and St. George at nearby Guildford Grammar School, and the Rose & Crown Hotel built in 1841 and voted one of Perth's top 20 tourist attractions.

A short drive away is Woodbridge House, built in 1885, and home to the Harper family. One of the Harper boys killed in WWI was the inspiration for the movie Gallipoli. The house is now opened by the National Trust.

The scenic Swan Valley is Perth's premium food and wine destination and is home to more than 150 attractions including wineries, restaurants, cafes, breweries, arts, crafts and shopping.
