Haven't been for quite a while and won't be back! $5.00 entry fee per person with access to only 2floors if you require the lift, decided to give it a go anyway only to exit the lift on the first floor to be told to go back down stairs and use the stairs on the other side and tell the staff not to send anyone else up this easy as we have a private function. We viewed a few are pieces of art, very disappointed, not so much that the place is inaccessible but more by the privileged rude attitude of the staff.
A) don't offer something you cannot provide
B) teach staff what hospitality means

This restored building is fascinating to wander around and the gardens are very pretty with plenty in flower. The convent has a variety of art works on display and for sale as well as a gallery shop and cafe. There is a lovely area for receptions as well. I enjoyed the art but more particularly the building itself. Areas have been displayed to show life as it was when used as a convent and visitors are able to access all floors via almost hidden staircases which add to the overall experience.(there is a lift as well).
Entry fee gives unlimited return visits for three days which we did take advantage of.
Well with a visit and can easily be combined with a walk around Wombat Hill Gardens and a visit to Cliffy’s. We didn’t try the Convent Cafe but it had a variety of foods available.

Came In for the first time and we both had the ploughman. Very simple but very nice. Had a tea and coffee both excellent. Great gardens to walk around in and some fantastic gift ideas in the shop.
