The Convent is located west of Yarra Bend Park, with the Collingwood Children's Farm to its north and east, the river and parklands to its south and housing to its west. The ride or walk to the Convent is spectacular, with the Yarra River Trail walking path directly passing the site. There's the art precinct, the antique bookstore, the farmers market, cafes and more.

Nestled in the bend on the Yarra, the inner city Collingwood Children's Farm is an absolute Melbourne treasure. Open to the public daily there are pony and tractor rides, and plenty of hands on activities such as milk feeding, etc.

Lentil as Anything (eatery) is a not-for-profit organisation that relies on the honour system - Pay what you can, and the slow cooked vegetarian dishes are absolutely divine, worthy of a 5 star restaurant.

The Friday night Jazz nights are a personal favourite scene.  A night out with friends,  a glass of red wine, the smell of the convent bakery, great music and the maccaras! :) A real gem right in the heart of the city!
