Mandy went above and beyond as a host to ensure that our weekend was nothing short of perfect. Both the interior and exterior to the property was impeccably designed and maintained, the location was serene & picturesque, and all family (young & old) had the best time....two days was not enough! Mandy, thank you again, we can’t wait to come back! read less

The pictures actually do not do it justice, immaculate and something for everyone to enjoy. The pool, undercover outdoor TV area and wrap around balcony, not to mention that spa. Even when a huge storm rolled in this place was an entertainers dream! Book now if you’re considering it! read less

It was a great experience using the pool, tennis/basketball court, walking around the beautiful grounds. The host, Mandy, invited our kids to meet the chickens and ducks and feed them. They really loved this. The house was the perfect size for the number of people we had. With a couple of spaces for a large group to talk and play games etc. Thanks for the great time, Mandy and family. read less

Mandy and her team of trusted caterers put together multiple options from us to choose from, all of which was spectacular. They were also sensitive to our dietary requirements. The grounds of Kalinya Gardens Estate were perfect for our Winter event. Everyone had their own room and the facilities were perfect for team collaboration. We also made good use of the TV for presentation and Finska and giant chess board after the sessions.The bedrooms were spacious and between the two houses we had access to, there were enough for one each. Thanks Mandy and team! We had an amazing and highly productive time. read less

According to Google, Kalinya is an Aboriginal word meaning, good, beautiful and honest. It most definitely is all that and more!!It was easy to get to, roughly halfway between Canberra and Newcastle.The place is perfect for a large family gathering with beautiful grounds, great heated pool, tennis court and an awesome homestead with everything you could want. There is plenty to do for young and old and Mandy is the best host you could wish for. Deserves more than 5 stars. If only I could afford to buy it 😉 read less

We had our best ever family gathering at Kalinya Gardens, 5 days we will never forget. 8 adults and 5 kids and Kalinya had it all for us....Nights around the gorgeous fire pit or in the spa or cooking around the bbq and pizza oven, days around the spectacular pool or playing tenpin bowls on the deck. Lounging around reading or playing games or doing puzzles, cooking up a storm in the phenomenal kitchen. You could spend days doing nothing or trying to work your way through everything that’s provided. Our expectations were exceeded beyond belief. Please have us back again next year Mandy!!?? read less

The grounds are an adult's playground, beautiful and feature packed. A weekend wasn't enough to enjoy every single part of it. We made huge amounts of pizza dough in the sizeable kitchen, hired the pizza oven for an evening to really mark the occasion and generally exhausted ourselves between running a tennis tournament on the court and water polo in the sizeable pool. Thank god the beds were fit for royalty 🙂 read less

I'm not sure where to begin after spending the weekend at Kalinya Gardens. I arrived at a breathtakingly beautiful homestead and felt instantly at home and welcome. Not long after arriving, Mandy popped in to greet our family and made us feel extremely welcome and at home. She made it feel like our place but she was available for anything that we might need. Everyone was catered for, my children had the most amazing time with all the activities provided while I was able to relax and catch up with my family. A weekend was no long enough! We booked our next Kalinya Gardens retreat before we left! read less

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
