Fabulous venue for small events.
We booked Karinya for my daughter’s bridal shower and Hen’s party. Stately home perfect for events with plenty of room indoors and out. Private grounds and convenient location with accommodations for guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend of celebrations and Alex was a great host with good communication. Highly recommend

The property was perfect for holding our small hens event. Couldn’t have asked for a more secluded feeling spot in an area otherwise quite busy. Grateful for the size of the house & all the bits & bobs provided that came in handy. Thanks again!

Beautiful location
Karinya is a great place to stay with a bigger group - awesome outdoor/entertaining area where the kids enjoyed hours in the pool. The location is great, doesn’t feel like you’re in the city. The home has some history and loads of original features which is an interesting touch!

Awesome family reunion
We loved our stay at Alex’s house - it was perfect for our family group of 14. There were several open family areas and the outdoor area was fantastic. There were lots of towels and other thoughtful touches that made for a wonderful stay. Alex was also terrific to deal with - helpful and responsive. Thank you Alex.

Fantastic Stay at Karinya Parkland Estate
We had a fantastic stay at Karinya Parkland Estate. The house has great character and plenty of space for any size group inside and out, meaning wet weather isn't an issue. Everything from the kitchen and bedrooms, to the BBQ and pool was clean and tidy. The estate is quiet and peaceful, you wouldn't know you are moments from greater Newcastle shops and restaurants. We couldn't have asked for a better host - Alex was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended!

Our stay at Karinya estate
Having just spent a weekend at Karinya Estate, it’s hard to encapsulate how exceptional our stay was. The serene ambiance of the estate provided an immediate retreat from the hustle & bustle of everyday life. The property is vast, offering picturesque views.
The bedrooms do need updating. The kitchen and living area were exceptional though and experiencing these spaces enriched our families stay leaving us rejuvenated. Highly recommended for any families seeking a memorable getaway.
