About this house rental

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.

For the Silver Package listing, 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 cozy atmosphere with a baby grand piano, gramophone with record and extensive book collection, large TV, Bluetooth music system, board games and a huge open fireplace.

The Homestead features a well-appointed gourmet kitchen inside. While outside, enjoy 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 pickleball, squash, tennis, basketball 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 in the games centre, on the trampoline, swing set or 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.

After seven years of annual family getaways, Kalinya Gardens is right up there at the top of the list. One of the things we look for is for all of us to be accommodated under one roof rather than needing to spread out across multiple cottages. The Homestead which holds a maximum of 18 was perfect for our group. The property caters for people of all ages. The Homestead is beautifully appointed: decor and furnishings are elegant and tasteful; the beds are super comfortable, and so are the pillows. There are several lovely bathrooms, and some comfy sitting areas, and more TV's than I could count. I don't actually think we turned one on until late on the final evening. We were too busy enjoying each other's company. Mandy, the owner has thought of everything. The grounds, the facilities, gardens, decks, outdoor tables and entertaining areas were just perfect. This year, my husband was celebrating his 80th Birthday. Mandy put us in touch with caterers and providores - all of whom were exceptional. On the day of the celebration, Mandy was there help us with extra tables and chairs so we could set up in the winter sun on the sheltered verandah which runs all the way around the house. What more can I say - "just gorgeous, in every possible way."

We were children at Christmas. At every moment the house would throw some new amazing detail at us and we’d get excited and. Report back. The whole family was incredibly comfortable which isn’t easy as we’ve a range of people who don’t like any fuss to the particular. But hanging out of the veranda was easy and comfortable. It is an extremely well designed “everything”. The kitchen is top notch and has more than you need. 5 people spoke of how amazing their shower was. Even the tP brands gave us a chuckle. With obsessions about chicken breeds etc in our family this just made another Christmas moment for us all. But the main thing was - we have young kids. They always add to the “fun” in finding suitable places. The ducks, and tennis and phenomenal number of outdoor and indoor toys for all ages had them more applied than ever. But there were smaller details I loved. Plastic wares. The pool was great for our non swimmers with an awesome and pool length step. The jacuzzi helped warm up between. The bbq- we is included in the group conversation without kids being next to the hot plates. The rooms were separated enough so any night crying disturbed us alone. Look. I can go on and on and I am internally longing to go back. I want to replicate the presses tin gloss walls in the bathrooms and many features that just were wow. Thanks Mandy for being an incredible host. We loved it and hope to return again next year on our trip.

Our stay here was amazing, from the minute this house was booked Mandy communicated so well regarding everything we needed for our stay. She is very understanding and will cater to all your needs. House was absolutely beautiful with activities for everyone, it was clean and so well maintained! In a perfect location for a quiet get away! Would highly recommend! 10/10

I was amazed by the property, I don’t think the photos online did it justice. Mandy the home owner was very welcoming. Looking forward to returning here in the future.
