Mandy went above and beyond as a host to ensure that our weekend was nothing short of perfect.

Mandy is lovely to coordinate with and she made sure we had a perfect stay. And we loved having the ducks and chicken around. read less

At the centre, a big grand colonial Australian mansion. There's a huge long table suitable for a large social dinner for 20, a tennis court, an amazing pool and spa.

There's a beautiful grand piano in the music room. Each and every room tastefully decorated. We booked Kalinya for my partner's 30th birthday with close friends and family. It was the perfect location to celebrate. Just an hour and 15 out of Sydney city. I can't recommend this place higher. It's one of the most beautiful properties we've stayed at.

The house was large enough to accommodate our big group of adults , children and babies. Entertaining areas were amazing, including an outdoor fire pit where the kids toasted marshmallows and we made good use of the jacuzzi. Mandy was kind enough to leave the pool heating on for our group outside of the regular season and this made a huge difference as we all swam in the pool and enjoyed the lovely weather. Special touches include a huge selection of toys and games for the children , duck feeding and expert advice from the owners about the area. Highly recommend for large groups! read less

From the moment you walk in the door, it gives a great sense of luxury. Everybody will leave feeling utterly spoiled. We spent a weekend at Kalinya for a girls' weekend away. There were 15 of us. The house is very spacious with so many little spots to break away for private chats or alone time if you need it. The communal areas are amazing. We loved the large dining table and enjoyed having all our meals around it for breakfast and dinner. The 2 fireplaces were such a bonus and really made the house feel so cosy and created a beautiful atmosphere. Of course there was also central heating which we used on Friday night. The girls loved the jacuzzi/spa and spent a couple of hours relaxing in there on Saturday night. The beds are all super comfortable and beautifully dressed with electric blankets. The decor is like from a magazine with the most beautiful large art works on all the walls (some are for sale), the most amazing light fittings and gorgeous furniture - the photos do not do this place justice. There is PLENTY to do in this house for adults and children (although we didn't have any kids with us). Loads of up to date games, puzzles, ping pong table, giant chess, large swimming pool, tennis court etc. etc. The pianola attached to the grand piano made for great entertainment and some of our party even enjoyed providing some background music of their own. Good Bose sound equipment was also available where we connected a phone to play our own music . I so wish to come back to this beautiful house in summer when the garden is in full bloom as it must be even more beautiful. On Saturday we ventured into Bowral for a browse around all the quirky little shops which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Loads of up to date games, puzzles, ping pong table, giant chess, large swimming pool, tennis court etc. etc. The pianola attached to the grand piano made for great entertainment and some of our party even enjoyed providing some background music of their own. Good Bose sound equipment was also available where we connected a phone to play our own music . I so wish to come back to this beautiful house in summer when the garden is in full bloom as it must be even more beautiful. On Saturday we ventured into Bowral for a browse around all the quirky little shops which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Mandy was a fantastic host and regularly checked whether we needed anything.

Exceptional.

An amazing place. The owners have excellent taste and have thought of every all details and amenities you could need. Cannot recommend Kalinya enough to others.
