About

Overview & Vibe

The Convent stands on Wombat Hill above Daylesford — a grand nineteenth-century former convent turned art gallery and wedding venue, its turret and verandahs looking out over six acres of manicured gardens and the town below.

Setting & Style

Three ceremony settings come with the building: the six acres of manicured gardens, the historic chapel, and a soaring glass conservatory for when the weather turns. Receptions choose between the St Lawrence room, seating up to sixty, and St Michaels, seating up to a hundred and forty, and the packages are all-inclusive but flexible — menu, drinks and set-up can all be customised. The Altar Bar carries the after-party with an eclectic mix of decor, exotic cocktails and an extensive boutique wine list, and the Convent Penthouse sits upstairs with a boudoir-style curtained bed, hydrotherapy spa, two private balconies, a fireplace and a cushioned daybed.
