"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

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!

I recently held my wedding at Kalinya Estate and it was the most amazing experience not only for us, but also for our family and friends. It is the absolute best wedding venue! We stayed for 2 nights and made full use of the facilities which were so much fun! We had lots of children stay and they all said it was the best weekend they've ever had, they did not want to leave. Mandy is the most attentive host you will find, she went above and beyond to make sure not only our stay was perfect but also the wedding. Thanks so much Mandy xx

December 2020

Our wedding at Kalinya Gardens was above and beyond what we had hoped for. Mandy is one in a million and made all our dreams come true. Nothing was too big or too small for her to give it her full attention. She has an amazing list of contacts for all your needs including caterers, florists, hairdressers and helpers of any kind. Kalinya Gardens is so beautiful it literally takes your breath away and makes you feel very spoilt and special. The accommodation is 5 star and having the Sunday after our wedding to laze by the pool , play tennis, chess, petanque and just explore the grounds made it such a perfect weekend. We can't thank Mandy enough for making our wedding weekend so perfect. We will definitely be back.
