Guests Say

Paloma's review:
There are not enough stars to rate this amazing cottage! We loved every single space. Everything was spot clean, plenty of cute details that made it homely. Loved the sheets, towels, soaps...everything was thoroughly selected, great quality. We felt very well taken care of. Jenny also offers experiences! We got bicycles as a bonus (prepared by Glyn, Jenny's husband) and booked the canoe experience just next door, super convenient! We finally could not make it due to a health issue. Martin, Jenny's son, was super understanding and had no issue with the cancellation and refund.
Overall, the complete stay was perfect. We had such a great Christmas. We definitely would love to come back and take that pending canoe trip 😊❤️🚲🏞🛶

Delightful Cottage. Very restful, peaceful ambiance. Loved the wrens and robin flitting among the bushes on the back patio.
Thank you Jenny


Enjoyed reading the 60's & 70's mags and recalling the fashions. Friendly chickens from next door came to visit. Very relaxing.
Jeanette


We had a wonderful relaxing stay - the cottage is lovely and the bird life amazing, we had a visit from the kangaroos and an echidna at the bottom of the garden and so many butterflies.
A great weekend, wish we had booked for longer. We will return.

This property was everything we hoped to get. Clean and comfortable, it had everything we needed to have a lovely few days in Kangaroo Valley. The kitchen is great if you want to self cater, the Hampden bridge is close by and the museum even closer. We loved the decor, the garden and the bathtub. Such a comfortable place. We will be back for sure.

We loved our 2 nights in the hampden cottage. The kitchen and bathroom looked brand new and were well appointed. There was bubble bath for the lovely big bath, an abundance of large towels and wood for the open fire which gave a lovely ambience. The owners were great to communicate with too. We were sad to leave.

We are very sorry that the smoke detector disturbed your night. Hope that the late check out we offered gave you time to rest and recover. We do our upmost to make our cottage a welcome retreat for our guests and are deviated that you gave us a three star review due to a safety alarm malfunction, which was obviously a one off.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 Sept 2026
Strange that you would say the cottage was not cleaned nicely. Other reviews compliment the cleanliness of the cottage. Do your think it acceptable for you to: Damage the wooden coffee table leaving hot ring marks when there were coasters supplied. Leave the outside garbage bin full, in the middle of the kitchen floor. Not wash up after yourself. Leave cigarette butts everywhere and dirty BBQ. Pleased to say that Reviews from other Guests find our cottage a delight to stay in.
