Ohariu Hills is a wedding and event venue at 184 Takarau Gorge Road in the Ohariu Valley, about 20 to 25 minutes from central Wellington. It was formerly known as Ohariu Farm and before that as The Woolshed, and it was built as a shearing shed on a family sheep and beef farm. The venue can host up to 180 people, and it is weatherproof and fully equipped.
The venue hosts a limited number of weddings each year and gives each couple sole private use for the day. It also takes Christmas team events for 2026. The family runs it: Jude and Georgia oversee the day-to-day, Greg maintains the grounds and gardens, and Hamish runs the farm. Viewings are by appointment only. The site looks out over the western skyline, with sunset views over the hills. Our view is that it is a striking country setting for a wedding near Wellington.
