    Not a real convent (anymore), Abbotsford is, rather, a convocation of heritage buildings housing cafés, galleries, farmers' markets, craft markets and places to sit outdoors on a summer's day. Read more

    Beautiful old, gothic convent on the banks of the Yarra turned into a community farm and centre. Great little food places too. One of my favourite spots in Melbourne. Best visited on a weekend.

    Beautiful place. Walk around the gardens, go to the markets, have a long lunch at Lentils (with a chai!), enjoy the tranquility

    Gorgeous little precinct with lush gardens, a few restaurants, an open air cinema in the summertime, and a plethora of markets and events throughout the year.

    I could spend the whole day here, eating at Lentil as Anything, buying fresh good veggies at the organic market and walking along the Yarra.

    c3 gallery has openings every so often, on a Wednesday. It's the one on the garden side that looks a bit like a cellar!

    Make sure to bring two $2 coins. One for parking and the other for the farmers' market, if that's what you're there for.

    Donate to keep this place as is. Don't let development spoil this cultural institution.
