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.

A country Sojourn
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.

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.

It was great stay
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.

Fantastic stay
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.

Holiday review
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.

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.

Amazing place
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.

Would highly recomend.

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 !
