<br> The only property in the village with your own pool and river access




This magnificent country home dates from the early pioneering days of owner Karen Jarrett's family. Its handcrafted sandstone and timber features tells a story of the earliest settlement in the valley and provides a blessed setting for an unforgettable Kangaroo Valley experience.

With the spirit of a joyful soul, the house offers the comfort of modern country living with all the charm of yesteryear. Time honoured traditions are expressed in line dried linen, a country kitchen warmed by a crackling fire, fresh flowers, French bubbly, and chocolates that await each guests arrival. These traditions and gifts of generosity are like the hand woven threads of a gorgeous quilt of unpretentious splendour that makes Hampden House such a compelling experience.

To this picture add a marvellous in ground pool for summer pleasure, ducted heating and cooling, wifi, Netflix, an espresso machine for great coffee, a seasonally changing garden of mature trees, flowering beds and sweeping lawns and a picturesque river setting. Hampden House is just a 10 min stroll or a two minute cycle into the village, yet remains a peaceful little world of its own.

You can't imagine a more idyllic historic home for a romantic getaway.

Gorgeous historical retreat
This was by far the best property we have ever stayed at. Beautifully presented and filled with antiques and historical memorabilia, this home is a hidden treasure. The expansive grounds are gorgeous with access to the Kangaroo Valley River as well as an inground pool. Host, Karen, was highly responsive and included so many lovely quality extras that made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be staying again and can't wait to introduce our friends to this property.

Unforgettable and Enjoyable Getaway
My close friend and I recently had the absolute pleasure of staying at Hampden House in Kangaroo Valley for three nights. It was a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charm and character of this historic home, as well as the warm and thoughtful hospitality of our host, Karen. Karen's attention to detail and genuine care for our comfort made a significant impact on our experience. The little treats left for us to enjoy was a lovely touch. The elegantly furnished house was impeccably clean and inviting and was surrounded by beautifully lush, private gardens. It was a very enjoyable break and I'm looking forward to getting back there in the future.

The Property and surroundings exactly what is needed to get away from a hectic life. We were only on the property for one day and that even made us completely relaxed. Karen is a champion and her quality in hosting is second to none. Enjoy staying and taking a trip back in time.
