Nestled on the crest of Wombat Hill Botanical Gardens, over-looking Daylesford, The Convent boasts expansive views of the countryside and township below. A feast for the senses, the gallery is more than a three level haven of fine art in an historic 19th century mansion. With its decadent retail areas, Mediterranean restaurant, relaxing Altar bar and lounge, restored chapel, nuns museum, penthouse apartment and two stunning glass fronted function spaces, all surrounded by six acres of stunning gardens, this multi-award winning gallery offers endless possibilities for a unique and satisfying experience.
2012 will see The Convent celebrate its 21st Anniversary. After being purchased in 1988, the building underwent years of renovations. During hard financial times on March 31, 1991 The Convent Gallery finally opened to the public and has now been bringing art, history and culture to the community for 20years.
