Why Stay in Abbotsford?

Historic buildings and grounds at Abbotsford Convent

The Abbotsford Convent Precinct

Abbotsford Convent is an arts and cultural precinct with historic buildings, creative studios and places to eat. Check what’s on before you visit, or explore the grounds and look for open studios using the Convent’s visitor information.

Gardens for a Slower Afternoon

The Convent’s heritage garden has mature trees, formal garden beds and a rotunda. Bring a book or plan a picnic on the grounds when the weather suits. It’s a different way to spend an afternoon in inner Melbourne.

The Capital City walking and cycling path passes the Convent precinct. Victoria Park station is another arrival option, with local buses serving Johnston Street. Check the route from your accommodation before heading out, particularly if you’re travelling with luggage or a bicycle.
