About this house rental

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Karen’s peppery is exceptional. She went above and beyond to make our stay special, the sponge cake, champagne, fresh bread and butter were show stoppers. The property is secluded and private but still a short walk into the main strip of Kangaroo Valley. Will definitely be back.

On our trip from Sydney Karen contacted us with information regarding the safety of roads following torrential rains. This was a very thoughtful gesture. Our accommodation was beautiful. An historic cottage on the banks of a wonderful river. Vast garden area with beautifully kept garden beds. Champagne, cake , chocolates, bread, eggs and a home full of wonderfully kept memorabilia awaited us. Thank you for a most comfortable stay. Liz and John

A little slice of paradise

A little slice of paradise

Hampden House is a wonderful stay. Far enough out of the village to avoid any crowds close enough to walk to for a Spiced Pumpkin Latte. As described, this 4 bedroom cottage is a slice of yesteryear, with a sprinkling of family heritage throughout. The private pool was a delight on a warm summers day, and the air conditioned interior was a wonderful escape from the flies!! Karens homemade Victoria Sponge with real cream was a wonderful treat on arrival and the weekend only got better from there.

Our stay at Hampdon house was an extremely beautiful and relaxing Experience. Only a short stroll to the main town but far enough away to be quiet. It has everything you need with great quality amenities from the Sheridan sheets/towels to the scanpan in the kitchen. Even though this is an old home it is beautifully maintained. Karen has an amazing eye for detail, I loved the little extras like the champagne, chocolates cake and more! making this the most relaxing two days I’ve had in a long time.

Wow. This place exceeded our expectations on every level. It was so peaceful, quiet, you can sit outside and just see green for kilometres. We didn’t even need to use half the things we brought with us because Karen was so caring and thoughtful with everything she supplied. The pool was to die for, we spent hours in the pool and relaxing by the pool side. We didn’t want to leave !
