Perched on the slopes of Wombat Hill is The Convent Gallery, Daylesford. Overlooking the township this magnificent destination venue contains eight gallery spaces, picturesque gardens, a renowned café and retail space, along with a museum and chapel.
For just under a century the Presentation Sisters educated and shaped the lives of hundreds of women in this iconic building through the Holy Cross Boarding School.
Today, The Convent showcases the works of local, national and international artists. The palates of all those who eat at The Convent Cafe are delighted by the seasonal menu featuring regional produce. The six acres of exquisite gardens have been compared to some of the most famous in Versailles and are reason alone for visiting.
The Convent is also a popular wedding destination. The combination of historic features, modern architecture and magnificent views create an unforgettable atmosphere for any visitor.

Whatever your reason for visiting Daylesford, be sure to add The Convent to your itinerary. Take the time to loose yourself in the art, fall into the history of the place and allow your taste buds to swoon at the culinary delights that await you.
The Convent Gallery is not to be missed.
