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!

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 villa was comfortable, spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything we could have wanted or needed. The gardens are beautiful, very private and are well maintained, as is the pool. Our host, Marina, was very helpful and met us on arrival ensuring we knew everything about the villa and then kept in contact with us over the holiday with details of a mid break-clean, when the pool maintenance and gardening would be done etc. The outdoor living area is spacious and also very comfortable. We enjoyed being able to walk to the many excellent seafront restaurants and the beach. We spent a peaceful and relaxed couple of weeks at Latchi Aria Villa and would love to return in the future.

Beautiful Estate stay

Karinya estate is absolutely gorgeous. You feel totally separated from everything around you, yet are 15 mins from everything Newcastle has to offer. Rooms are spacious and great for entertaining. It great that this aprty allows parties as its perfect for hosting events (like my 30th). Note that the power is prone to short circuit if too many applicances are used - we figured this out quickly but Alex was very responsive and came to check himself. Would stay again
