Hampden House

This magnificent country home dates from the early pioneering days of owner Karen Jarrett’s family. Its hand crafted sandstone and timber features tell 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, Hampden House offers the comforts of modern country living with all the charm of yesteryear. Time-honored traditions are expressed in line-dried linen, a country kitchen warmed by a crackling wood fire, fresh flowers and treats such as Karen’s home-baked surprise and the French bubbly and chocolates that await each guest’s arrival.

These traditions and gifts of generosity are like the hand woven threads of a gorgeous quilt of unpretentious splendor that makes Hampden House such a compelling experience.

To this picture, add a marvellous in-ground pool for summer pleasure, an espresso machine for great coffee, a seasonally-changing garden of mature trees, flowering beds and sweeping lawns and a picturesque riverfront setting. Hampden House is just a ten minute stroll or two minute cycle into the heart of the village, yet remains a peaceful little world to itself.

We can’t imagine a more idyllic historic home for a girlfriends’ getaway, family reunion or even an intimate wedding, with the memento of bridal photos set against this backdrop of timeless beauty.
