About this property

ONLY PROPERTY IN THE VILLAGE WITH A POOL AND PRIVATE RIVER FRONTAGE



Hampden House offers guests serene accommodation amongst beautiful established grounds overlooking the Valley escarpment with private access to the Kangaroo River.

Hampden House was chosen by the Australian Women's Weekly as the location for their winter fashion shoot. Boxstudios have used the property for music videos.

Good news - Wifi, Netflix, as well as ducted heating and cooling to ensure your stay is comfortable all year round, although it is always lovely to light the fire in the cooler months.

Built towards the end of the 1800s, Hampden House retains many of its original features including outbuildings, 3 sandstone fireplaces, century old hardwood flooring and cedar windows. It is set on acreage with frontage to the Kangaroo River and is a short stroll to the quaint heritage listed village of Kangaroo Valley. The house has wide verandas with extensive views of the surrounding valley escarpments. The property has been in the same family for 5 generations and the current host is the great grand-daughter of the original owner.

The main house has 4 bedrooms featuring many of the property’s original furnishings. The kitchen and separate living room offer stunning views of the property surrounds and feature the original chimneys, echoing the sandstone of the renowned Hampden Bridge.

Hampden House sits beyond a laurel hedge amongst fruit trees. Meander in the orchard or down to the waters edge and listen to the gently flowing river as you relax in the garden.

Make yourself at home, relax in front of the fire or on the veranda with a good book and take in the clean crisp country air of one of Australia’s most beautiful regions. Discover the tranquil world of Kangaroo Valley and enjoy this elegantly furnished house which is suitable for couples who enjoy their own company or for a small group of family or friends.

Hampden House is the perfect stay for guests wanting privacy close to town with a great variety of activities to choose from. The house features its own solar heated swimming, pool, sheridan sun dried linen, mountain bikes and idyllic picnic spots.

Hampden House could be your perfect for your wedding, it is suited for small intimate occasion 20-25 guests.

Easter @ Hampton House
We had the most amazing weekend at Hampton House. The hospitality of the owner was just wonderful. I have never felt so welcomed before. Thank you so much Karen. The property is so private and peaceful. We had so much fun with the pool and the kids loved playing in the river. We will love to come back again one day.

Luxury cottage
Hampden House is a beautiful cottage located on the river front and a short stroll from the main shopping strip. Abundantly laden citrus and fruit trees surround the house, with stunning views of the escarpment. Inside, every detail has been thought of, all the kitchen staples are provided and more! Lovely treats, decadent toiletries, sumptuous beds with electric heating, piles of wood for the fire. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Magical!
This is a very special property. The house is full of antiques and wonderful old photos & prints, yet it also has all the mod cons to be completely comfortable. The garden leads down to the river, which is so beautiful & perfect for a cool down. Or if you prefer to swim in a pool you will not be disappointed. The pool is beautiful, surrounded by huge sandstone pavers. The house is an easy walk to town for restaurants, cafes, markets etc. And, the owner filled the house with treats which we thoroughly enjoyed! We will be back!

This was our third stay at Hampden House, and it won't be our last. If you are looking for a place where your every day life anxieties melt away; a place where the host invests her time to make sure your time is perfect; and a place you will want to return to time and time again then this property is for you. Karen, thank you for another magical memory filled stay.

Wonderful family holiday!
Hampden House is a wonderful, character filled, rustic country home. We had an amazing time unwinding in the country air. The pool and the grounds are simply wonderful! Karen's thoughtfulness is evident from the many treats she left for us (Fresh milk, eggs, large Pepe Saya butter, sourdough bread Raw honey, candied macadamias, Moet champagne Assorted drinks, Spanish sherry, Maggie Beer icecream, Plenty of pantry staples like specialty teas, hot choc and fresh coffee beans and a huge assortment of high quality luxury shampoos, conditioners, face/body washes and lotions in every wash space) to the many creature comforts to make our stay memorable for years to come. Talk about spoilt! If you haven't stayed at Hampden House yet, you're missing out!

Everything you need
In a lovely part of Australia, the property is very well equipped and has everything you need. The host responds quickly and leaves some food and drink essentials for use during the stay. The property has a nice homely feel with plenty of areas outside to sit and relax. It’s a short walk to the village where there are a few shops and restaurants.

awesome location
Really enjoyed our stay here...we travelled from Sydney and was very easy to find and check in was a breeze. Property was great with a wrap-around balcony that each bedroom and living areas had access to. Loved the nice touches by the owner such as fresh bread and the odd tasty beverage left for our enjoyment! Great having bikes available to us that we could head into town or down to Hampden Bridge. But probably the best was the location backing onto the Kangaroo River, where my boy and I could launch our kayak to head up river....shallow in places where we were but easy enough to drag the kayak over in places and go again. Thoroughly recommend!!
