About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

<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.

The moment we arrived it felt like your worries melted away. The house is filled with beautiful treasures from the past, it was like stepping into a different era, it was fantastic. Karen is an amazing host, the goodies that were left for us were terrific, bottle of Moet, bread, eggs Pepes Butter (which I love) juice, chips and Karen even baked an amazing shortbread. The property is extremely clean both inside and out. The gardens are amazing, we even enjoyed a swim in the pool. The house is within walking distance to town. I cannot fault this property. We had a wonderful weekend, cant wait to get back there.

Stayed here on the weekend, one of the best places I’ve stayed in. House and property are next level, and on arrival we were greeted with all sorts of goodies. It’s a short walk to the town centre. Hoping to return.

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.

We had a lovely stay, talking the night away by the fire. The little treats left for us to enjoy made our visit that more special. Karen was a fabulous host, communication was excellent. The house itself was a treasure trove, full of personality and history that sets it apart from other accommodation. It was very clean and comfortable. The back verandah was the perfect spot to catch the morning sun with a coffee. The location is perfect, an easy walk into the village. We can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful piece of land. Picturesque garden with a running river stream that is accessible at the back. Very well maintained gardens, matured trees well trimmed and turf regularly cut. Full of cicada's making deafening noises and plenty of flies.

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.

We were very impressed with the property. The owner had gone to a lot of trouble to make the guests feel welcome. The house was full of antiques and held something of interest in every corner. The extensive grounds with their beautiful gardens which led down to the river were magnificent. The pool was delightful and the location offering such a short walk to town was great.

Property was old and quite located near Kangaroo River. Which is exactly what we needed to get away from city life. My 3 year daughter loved it and wanted to stay there more. Fresh Cake was so good. Was better if weather was not cloudy and rainy. Last day was good weather. Would love to get back there.
