About this property

Kalinya Estate Gold 26 max

Kalinya Estate is an Australian Colonial, heritage-listed, luxury Estate; offering exclusive high-end accommodation at a private acreage for groups. With sporting, musical and recreation facilities catering to guests of all ages, it offers opportunities for work, relaxation, entertainment and more. The Estate’s accommodation features three separate buildings, The Homestead, The Lodge and The Barn, all of which are a short stroll from each other through the gardens. All three spaces have been magnificently restored, with all of the quality modern updated fixtures you need. Kalinya Estate is a private venue, taking only one group at a time.

‘The Homestead’ is one of few original Australian Colonial Mansions- 1860's Victorian Georgian. This house is where all of the guests staying on the estate gather to share meals, due to the large entertaining spaces.
'The Lodge' was the original medical centre for the whole region- originally name Emohruo.
'The Barn' was originally used to build submarines and after that was used to care for champion dressage horses.

Kalinya Estate is located in the rural town of Bargo within the Wollondilly and welcomes its guests on the land of the Dharawal people. We aim to honour their culture and love for the environment, whilst showing respect to their elders past, present and emerging. ‘Kalinya’ is itself an Aboriginal word, which translates to ‘good, beautiful and honest’; the intention at Kalinya being to reflect these words in conduct and interactions.

Kalinya Estate is entirely unique because of the high end sporting and musical offerings. There is plenty to do for everyone, no matter what the weather is. In the squash court, you can play racquetball, squash or handball. There is a 17m fully tiled heated pool and a therapeutic hot tub. Use the gym, foosball, billiards, table tennis, air hockey, or vintage arcade games. There is a piano lounge with a concert grand piano. Enjoy the ducks, chickens, orchard, and natural pond ecosystem.

The Homestead offers elegant large estate living with vast wrap around verandahs, grand high ceilings, and beautiful vintage finishes. Patterned cornice and artworks hanging on picture rails adorn every room.

Gorgeous polished Blue Gum timber floors grace the living areas creating a natural country feel.

The Homestead includes a grand family/ dining room that is designed for large gatherings with large slow combustion fireplace.

The spacious formal lounge rooms have a grand but cozy atmosphere with a baby grand piano, extensive book collection, large TV, Bluetooth music system, board games and a huge open fireplace.

We have a well-appointed gourmet kitchen inside. Outside, the Homestead enjoys private undercover outdoor entertaining facilities including a top of the range built in Weber BBQ and huge commercial Vesuvio Wood Fired Pizza oven.

Feel pampered and relaxed using the outdoor spa/hot tub area or chill out beside the tranquil pond and the outdoor fire pit.

Enjoy a game of tennis or basketball on the Tennis Court or a dip in the 17m heated swimming pool (heated from October 1st through to April 30th). Have a drink and a chat in the stunning pool house. Tire out the kids on the trampoline, swing set and large outdoor chessboard.

Chooks and quail wander the property and munch on food scraps. Our ducks and geese enjoy visits at the dam or pond. Our pond natural ecosystem is home to our Koi and is definitely worthy of exploring.

Kalinya Estate is made up of 6 acres of award winning gardens and high end facilities; including tennis court, basketball, 17m heated swimming pool, therapeutic spa and outdoor games. Luxury accommodation for up to 26 guests is located in the 2 grand and beautifully appointed houses.

This was a stay of three generations to celebrate the grandfathers 90th birthday
Immaculately maintained property with wonderful amenities and things for all age groups to do. Ample bedrooms, bathrooms and sitting rooms. Well equiped kitchens. Tennis court, Squash court, pool and hot tub plus games room and gym. Lots of board games to suit all ages as well as a huge screen theatre. Mandy was extremely helpful She recommended a caterer (M20 for a celebratory dinner which was excellent and a very special occasion. Would recommend Karinya for any large family gathering with all ages catered for even young children.

A blissful stay, the bests hosts ever
Mandy and Chris are the most kind accommodating hosts. We had a lovely stay during the school holidays with 5 families. There was never a need to leave the property. The kids and adults alike were blown away by the facilities on hand. Truly relaxing, we can't wait to come back!

Our COVID getaway - if you want to isolate, why not isolate in style.
We spent a week at the Kalinya Estate Homestead & Lodge with our extended family. Grandparents down to young children. The house and grounds are very well maintained with activities for all age groups. I was very surprised at how you can fill in a day and not leave the property. The local shops are wonderful and very worthwhile exploring. While we did not eat out due to COVID, and decided to order in, everything was wonderful. The Homestead was very well maintained with modern appliances and enough kitchen space and utensils to feed an army. You will not run short of anything in that department. However, you will need to buy bags of ice as the ice maker is not going to cope with large groups. A single large fridge in the Homestead filled up very quickly, and this needed to be managed with a large group. A separate drinks fridge would be great to see. There is AC in every room with a central control so you will not please everyone. Some rooms also were a lot hotter than others, while some were very cold. There are plenty of blankets for the winter months. We visited in summer. I would bring your own pillow as the pillows were good quality but not to our liking. You will find the reading room and piano room, a great relaxing area. Our family spent many hours enjoying family games and talking. There are a few areas you can sneak off to and have some alone time to read a book and relax. The deck does need some maintenance as splinters we easy to come by if you did not wear shoes, our youngest children found out the hard way. A simple oil I believe would fix this; it is more dry than damaged. If you love sitting on a deck with a drink and a book or company, there is no better place. Watching the ducks go back and forth, and kids playing in the yard is magical. I did this every day for many hours. The pool, squash court, games room, tennis court and spa, were all great. We all spent many hours swimming and relaxing by the pool. Kids loved going to the games room. Even the adults used the gym. The Lodge was quite modern and well-appointed. The description of AC is very misleading. In summer, the bedrooms that did not have AC were unbearable (That is all but one). No fan was going to solve this. Mandy is a great host and supplied us with all the local must-see places and great food outlets. This is a great property for young and old with plenty to do on the property. I would be happy to come back and enjoy Kalinya again with the family.

About the host

Hosted by Mandy

Host profile image
Welcome to Kalinya Estate. My husband Chris and I bought the Estate as a country escape for our family nearly 20 years ago and discovered a passion for hosting and building relationships. My background as a Clinical Psychologist provided a blueprint to fostering such relationships and encouraging others in a similar way. Consequently, to promote meaningful connections, we offer an un-rushed experience through a 2-night minimum stay. Chris and I love sport and music, so the estate grew over the years to be the ultimate family playground. Our hope is that Kalinya will bring your family and friends closer, that they will have the time of their lives using all of the facilities and spending quality time together. Chris and I moved to Bargo to get away from the city, to enjoy the best of rural living with our family. I am a Clinical Psychologist by background, and love spoiling and looking after people. We set up Kalinya to cater for large extended family or friendship groups. We love that there is plenty to do at Kalinya for anyone who stays; from the old to the very young, from the active sportsman, to one who enjoys a good book.
