A Story Steeped in Romance & History.
Built in the late 1800s by Scottish settler and successful timber merchant Andrew Campbell, this home carries a tale as poignant as it is romantic. Inspired by his deep love for the daughter of celebrated poet Robert Burns, Campbell constructed this exquisite residence as a grand gesture. Tragically, she passed away only two years after arriving in Castlemaine, leaving Campbell to live out his days in the mansion they were meant to share.

Today, Campbell House stands as a testament to love, craftsmanship, and the rich history of central Victoria – and offers you the chance to be part of its living story.

Very charming house, great facilities.

This house had a lot of charm, the rooms were really beautiful. Most rooms were very spacious, some even had sitting areas. The house was very well equipped for the number of people it accommodated, there was nothing missing. The host provided excellent communication. We really enjoyed our stay. The house is very well located, right near the main street. The gardens were beautiful and had many seating options.

Campbell House

The property was excellent and very clean. Amenities were very good and comfortable beds and pillows. Heating in lounge was cosy and rooms had individual aircon units which were independently managed. Very well equipped kitchen and great a great position. Nice to have a backyard area to bbq and enjoy. I'd definitely go back for another visit.

Great stay in a lovely town

Campbell house is spread over three levels. Having two toddlers meant a bit of hand holding up and down stairs but that’s part of the adventure of this house. It’s been beautifully decorated and we loved our stay here. Kitchen/dining is upstairs, so a bit away from the main action but we got used to it. Backyard was fantastic for a kick of the footy with all the kids. Overall, enjoy a wonderful stay in a place that offers magnificent views and space to enjoy a great few days away in Castlemaine.

Magnificence in Castlemaine

We were privileged to stay at Campbell House over a weekend. This is an iconic home, beautifully and tastefully furnished. Renovated with the retention of lovely period features, it offers space within a number of independent living zones. While preserving an atmosphere from a bygone era, Campbell House features all the necessary 21st century luxuries - large screen TVs, WiFi, stereos, reliable hot showers and cloud-like beds. This property provides the pinnacle in relaxation and will not disappoint even the most fastidious guest. A highly recommended stay!
