When built, the Macleay Chronicle Newspaper noted that the station was 'easily the finest this side of Newcastle and will have no rivals between here and Grafton.'[3]
The station was damaged by fire on 23 December 1939. The parcels office was completely gutted while severe damage was done to the booking office, the stationmaster's office, the ceiling of the waiting room, the signal cabin and the roof and awning of the platform.[4]
Maintenance on locomotives and rolling stock is no longer carried out in Kempsey and the engine shed and work buildings have since been demolished.[5]
