Established in 1859 as Pengilly’s Blacksmith Shop it now presents as the Goodness Coffee Company (Coffee Roastery and Espresso Bar), The Little Rickshaw (Vietnamese dining), Spoilt Rotten Hair (Beauty Salon), Willunga Gelato (in summer) and of course our beloved Blacksmith Cottage. The precinct is popular for both locals and tourists alike providing a chic, eclectic atmosphere with many sitting spaces to relax with friends or find a spot for yourself to read a book or enjoy chatting with the locals. On weekends Blacksmith Hub is quite busy and plays host to a variety of live music acts until late at night.
