"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 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!"  Nicole

Spending our wedding weekend at Kalinya Estate, was an absolute dream! Upon our arrival, we noticed how clean the whole estate was. It had been freshly landscaped and the accommodation spaces were stunningly cleaned. Mandy and Bec had put everything that we wanted, exactly where we had asked - tables, high chairs, barrel for the cake, ramps for a guest who uses a wheelchair etc. We had our close family and friends stay with us over the weekend, which was so much fun! We used the pizza oven and enjoyed the many facilities at the property - squash court, pool table, foosball etc. This night was just what we needed to ease our nerves, before our big day! On our wedding day, Mandy was around to help and be a presence of comfort and joy, just when we needed her. Everything ran smoothly and we had the wedding of our dreams! We are so happy that we happened to stumble across Kalinya Estate and that we had the pleasure of meeting Mandy and Bec. They are such friendly, approachable and kind people, who are so passionate about what they do. We can’t thank them enough. We look forward to visiting Kalinya Estate again, in the near future.

We got married at Kalinya Estate in September 2024, and it was nothing short of perfection. From start to finish, everything was seamless and so much of that is thanks to Mandy, the incredible owner. She is truly the best of the best. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her calm, professional approach meant our day ran effortlessly. She genuinely knows exactly how to bring an event together with grace and precision. Every single guest who spoke with Mandy commented on how amazing she was and how lucky we were to have her in our corner. Her warmth, attention to detail, and experience made all the difference. As for the estate itself.. absolutely breathtaking. The grounds are stunning, immaculately maintained, and create the most magical backdrop for a wedding. The facilities are second to none; everything you could possibly need is right there, delivered at the highest standard. Kalinya Estate is a dream venue, and Mandy makes it even more exceptional. We are so grateful for the experience — we wouldn't change a thing.

Our wedding at Kalinya Estate was an absolute dream come true! We hosted a three-day event where all our guests stayed, and it was a celebration filled with joy, relaxation, and unforgettable memories. The estate itself is breathtakingly beautiful, providing the perfect backdrop for our special day. The photos turned out stunningly against the backdrop of Kalinya's picturesque surroundings. Throughout our stay, our guests enjoyed the luxurious amenities, especially the refreshing pool and the plethora of activities available. Whether it was lounging by the pool or playing tennis, there was something for everyone to enjoy. Mandy and Bec, the wonderful hosts of Kalinya Estate, played a pivotal role in making our wedding getaway seamless and stress-free. From the moment we booked the estate to our arrival, their exceptional communication and genuine care made us feel relaxed and taken care of. They are truly some of the nicest people we've ever met. Our wedding getaway at Kalinya Estate exceeded all our expectations and was everything we had dreamed of. We wouldn't have changed a single thing about our experience. Thank you Mandy and Bec for making our special day truly unforgettable. We can't recommend this venue highly enough!

We had our wedding at Kalinya Estate and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Mandy and Bec were incredible—kind, friendly, and always helpful—with outstanding communication and attention to detail throughout the entire process. They supported us every step of the way, before, during, and after the big day, and made everything feel smooth, special, and completely stress-free. The venue itself is stunning, surrounded by beautiful gardens, lush greenery, and peaceful natural surroundings that created the perfect backdrop for our celebration. We couldn’t recommend Kalinya Estate more highly.
