Kalimna Estate

Step into a legacy of love at Kalimna Homestead, a breathtaking Italianate estate built on the very foundation of devotion. Originally commissioned in 1901 as a grand wedding gift, this heritage destination offers you a timeless setting in the heart of the Paterson Valley where history and luxury intertwine. It is a warm, evocative space that invites you to host an unforgettable celebration surrounded by the rolling hills of the Hunter region.

From the moment you arrive, the homestead transports you to an era of unparalleled craftsmanship. You can wander through rooms featuring original Kauri Pine flooring and rich Cedar finishings that provide a golden glow for your photography. The architectural grandeur of the estate, with its sweeping verandahs and intricate pressed tin ceilings, offers a sophisticated backdrop for a garden ceremony or an intimate cocktail hour.

Beyond the main house, the property’s past remains beautifully alive through the weathered remains of the original dairy. These spaces offer a rustic contrast to the homestead’s refinement, providing unique locations for your portrait session.
