About Shepton House:
Shepton House was built in 1904 by Percival and Edith Hammon, whose son, Harry went on to create the iconic Scenic World, one of the Blue Mountains major tourist attractions (and a walk away from Shepton House). It was named 'Shepton' after Edith's birthplace in England. We look forward to sharing this special home with you!

The house is in a great location, it's a 10-min walk to all the shops/restaurants and similar to the three sister/information centre etc. The house is large enough for everyone to chill out and entertain "in"if you want. We will definitely come back and stay again.
