Description
What you will love about celebrating at Frog Hollow Estate:
- An Italian-inspired outdoor dining experience unlike almost anything else in Australia. Gather everyone you love around sweeping serpentine tables that curve around the old stone fountain on our elevated Tuscan-inspired terrace. With French-pattern stone paving, candlelight and festoon lights glowing overhead, it feels like dinner in the Italian countryside, right here in Daylesford.
- An entire private estate exclusively yours. Frog Hollow isn’t a wedding factory with another celebration happening next door. When you’re here, the estate is yours, giving your wedding that wonderfully private, destination feeling from the moment your guests arrive.
- A wedding that moves beautifully from one moment to the next. Marry at the edge of the forest, celebrate with drinks throughout the grounds, dine outside around the fountain and then move into the Stone Barn for music and dancing. Everything is connected, keeping your guests together while each part of the day feels completely different.
- A beautiful Stone Barn made for celebrating. Filled with character and warmth, the Stone Barn has its own bar, fireplace, stage and space for dining, live music and dancing. As the evening gets cooler, guests can move effortlessly inside without the celebration losing its atmosphere.
- The freedom to make the day feel like yours. Choose the caterer, food, styling and suppliers that suit the way you want to celebrate. Long Italian-style dinners, beautiful shared feasts, cocktails around the fountain or something completely your own, Frog Hollow gives you the freedom to create a wedding that feels personal rather than prescribed.

About Frog Hollow Estate
Dreaming of an Italian wedding without taking everyone to Italy?
Imagine a long dinner in the Italian countryside. Everyone you love gathered around one beautiful table, curving around an old stone fountain. Wine being poured, candles flickering, music playing and festoon lights beginning to glow as afternoon turns into evening.
That feeling is at the heart of Frog Hollow Estate.
Hidden beside the Wombat State Forest in the Daylesford region, Frog Hollow is a privately owned country estate created for couples wanting something elegant, romantic and a little different from the traditional wedding venue.
At the heart of the estate is our Tuscan-inspired outdoor dining terrace. Elevated above the grounds and reached by a grand stone staircase, the terrace is finished in beautiful French-pattern stone paving with an old-world fountain at its centre. Our custom serpentine tables sweep around the fountain, bringing everyone together for a dining experience that feels intimate even with a full celebration around you.
As evening falls, candles fill the tables, the fountain glows and festoon lights illuminate the terrace. It’s relaxed and romantic, but still beautifully elegant.
And Frog Hollow is so much more than one beautiful space.
Your ceremony can take place outside at the edge of the forest, with an elegant indoor ceremony space always available. Afterwards, guests can move naturally through the grounds before gathering on the terrace for dinner and later heading into the Stone Barn for music and dancing.
The Stone Barn brings another feeling entirely: original stone, a fireplace, bar, stage and the warmth of everyone together as the celebration carries into the night.
There are no other weddings happening around you and no strangers wandering through your celebration. For your wedding, Frog Hollow is yours.
Come through the gates and experience it for yourself. Because as beautiful as Frog Hollow looks in photographs, there is a feeling to this place that photographs can only ever show a little of.
