Situated in the tightly held historic centre of Robe, 26 Smillie Street is known by the name "Campbell Cottages", by the locals.
Built in 1857 by Alexander Campbell, a Scottish pharmacist, for the accommodation needs of a busy seaport. The home is part of a time capsule of rare buildings, a fine example of colonial life in Southeast of South Australia.
Part of the property has continued to offer rental accommodation and is currently operating as "Robe Terraces" for short stays.
The current owners from 2010 have renovated the three terraces. And built a modern addition to the main home. Featuring 4 bedrooms, study, large open plan living room with dining area, two bathrooms, kitchen, and pantry. The living room opens out to a 32 metre balcony, a pleasant place to sit and enjoy the view of Guichen Bay and the historic street.
Included in the complex are three well-appointed townhouses, equipped for short term accommodation, all arranged around a beautiful courtyard garden. The property provides plenty of accommodation for family visits and the current owners have been operating the property for 12 years.
The adjacent building is a working studio, incorporating the laundry and another toilet. The studio has built in cupboards and has been used for artistic and creative pursuits.
An easy short stroll to all of Robe's cafes, restaurants, and retail shops and directly across the road from Town Beach.
The versatility of the property can be utilised either commercially, or for extended family to come and enjoy the ambience of Robe.
Currently 26 Smillie Street is known as Robe Terraces.
