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

It was... read moreStaying at Kalinya Estate was a total dream from start to finish - we never wanted to leave! It was the most stunning, luxurious, stylish, fun and activity-filled private accommodation that all 25 of us had ever experienced in Australia and it was the most special setting to celebrate my 30th birthday.
From the multiple fireplaces and fire pits, to the pizza oven and BBQs, to the tennis court and cinema, the swimming pool and hot tub, the luxurious bedding and brand new grand piano - everything was of the highest quality, condition and designed with such style, thought and creativity.
Mandy Barnes could not have been a more hospitable, welcoming or helpful host to deal with in the lead up to and during the weekend. Thank you again for such a wonderful, memorable weekend!

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

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. The grounds are well maintained and amazing detail and forethought has gone into the design and layout of everything. We booked the grand homestead and the luxury lodge, we had 18 people, with only couples sharing rooms. Every room had it's own en suite, and it was very spacious for 18. 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. We had an amazing weekend, Kalinya Estate has it all, so all that was left to do was enjoy our time with great friends. Mandy was a gem, was so easy to deal with, and helped us tailor our experience to be exactly what we wanted and more. 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. Mandy was a fantastic host and regularly checked whether we needed anything. read less

Even though the weather was not the best we still, kids and adults were covered. We were able to collect our eggs for breakfast from the chicken coop, swim in the heated pool, use the hot tub, lay squash, watch a movie in the cinema room, exercise, play arcade games and watch Netflix in our rooms at bedtime. The homestead and guest house are decked out with top of the range appliances including a coffee machine with fresh beans! I was even lucky enough to have a pizza van come and cater for us on the main event which was awesome as there was no cooking or cleaning up required just eating and drinking! Most importantly Amanda looked after us with great communication and support before, during and after our stay. I highly recommend Kalinya Estate for the place to book for your next celebration with family and friends, for me it was so great that no one needed to have baby sitters as the kids were also looked after and able to do their own thing. Thank you again for letting me have the best 40th Birthday a woman could ask for! Money well spent! read less

What Our Guests Say
- Nicole Foster12/05/2022 - Google
My new husband and I were recently married at Kalinya Estate. Our entire experience with Mandy (and Bec) was faultless. While looking for our venue we visited a few other places in the Kangaroo valley that just didn't feel right and often the services provided were a one size fits all approach, with no leeway for what we wanted for our day. As soon as we met Mandy the first thing she asked was 'what do you want your day to look like?' and she did absolutely everything to assist us with a bespoke day that was absolutely perfect for us. From the beautiful manicured gardens, to the grand lodgings, the plethora of activities and OH THE PIANO BAR! This place is all of the elegance without any pretentiousness. Future celebrations are looking great at Kalinya!

A most magnificent stay from start to finish at Kalinya Estate to celebrate a birthday with family and friends. The accommodation and facilities are amazing and Mandy and her team made the stay perfect. The recommendations they shared ahead of our stay for caterers and musicians were spot on and nothing was any trouble in the lead up and during our stay. Our guests were blow-away by Kalinya and all that it had to offer. I highly recommend it - it was magical and so many wonderful memories were created. Thank you Mandy and team Kalinya.

I don’t even know where to begin.There are no words to describe how amazing my whole experience was. From the moment myself and my new husband visited Kalinya Mandy took our breathe away with her incredible personality and her beautiful astonishing estate.It was absolute heaven walking through and knowing instantly that this is where I was going to marry the man I loveWe stayed there for 3 nights and I had the honour of being able to invite my family and friends to share the days with us. They all couldn’t stop saying how beautiful the grounds were. Everything was so green and I’m pretty sure we all squealed with delight every time the ducks were in sightThere was never anything to hard to do, and the team at Kalinya went more then above and beyond for us. They ACTUALLY used a leaf blower to blow dry the grass as it was still a little wet from the rains and were sweeping the grass to ensure all the dirt was out of it. No one does that. Ever.Mandy, Bec and the team were always happy to help in any way possible and were never more then a few seconds away.If you are looking for a place to get married, have a party or just to relax for the weekend you are crazy not to come here. Everyone should come here. This was the best experience of my entire life and they have given my husband and I memories that will never fade.I don’t know how to Thankyou enough and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to stop smiling (or crying)Mandy you are one of the most beautiful people I have ever met in my entire life and I just love and adore you.

We recently spent a weekend at Kalinya for a 50th wedding anniversary celebration. The luxurious accommodation and the extensive and immaculately maintained grounds were the perfect inducement for a totally indulgent weekend. Apart from the many activities to enjoy, there was a myriad of delightful nooks and bowers for a quiet retreat with a good book. As well as the excellent cuisine, provided by local chefs, everywhere was a feast for the eyes, counterbalancing beautiful established trees and gardens with quirky elements of decor. The cute little pig with wings outside our French doors is one example. Mandy is the ideal hostess, discreetly ensuring that everything is running smoothly and adding her own personal charm to the mix. We can not recommend Kalinya highly enough.

Absolutely incredible! My new husband and I had the privilege of booking Kalinya Estate for our wedding weekend in Nov 2021. There are so many wonderful things to say about the owners of this incredible property, Mandy and Chris. Mandy is an amazing person. Before, during and after our stay, Mandy has been incredibly kind, caring, helpful, thoughtful, just amazing. I can't thank you enough for the absolutely incredible weekend we had with friends and family. The Kalinya Estate property is a mind-blowing, stunningly beautiful place to stay with amazing attention to detail in every room, and immaculate gardens. I absolutely recommend Kalinya Estate, and I know we will be back.
