It's heavenly...
Its incredible just how at home you will feel at The Nunnery.   The building retains many of it's original features such as stained glass windows, huge mantles, grand staircase and much much more.   The Nuns (a.k.a Nunnery Staff) create a relaxed & friendly vibe - if you need advice "Mother Superior" or one of the "Sisters" is always at hand.   The Sisters are particularly spot-on for recommending great bars, clubs and restaurants.   Brother Francis (our cat) will take your confession.

It's comfy...
Our huge Lounge/TV room with open fire place, leather chesterfields & large dining table is the place to hang out and meet fellow travelers.  

Our kitchen is cleaned 3 times per day and is available for your use from 8am to 11pm every day. PLUS we have a state of the art BBQ (Aussie style 7 burners with hood!) which you can use whenever you want.

We have 3 internet kiosks with super fast connections (ADSL) that is available for your use 24 hours per day and we have a laundry for you to clean your dirty habits.

Freebies...
There is a plethora of free stuff to keep you entertained at The Nunnery:   Free wine & nibbles ever Friday night, home made soup (winter), icecream (summer), BBQs and organized outings.

Time for genuflection
Located near artsy, cool and groovy Brunswick Street, The Nunnery is literally around the corner from an amazing array of live music, cafes, galleries, restaurants, and the best coffee in Melbourne. Great shopping can be found catering to everyone's tastes from funky techno fashions to antique books.

In winter check out the spectacular skiing and snow boarding resorts just three hours from Melbourne. In summer take a trip to the rugged Great Ocean Road or visit the Fairy Penguins at Phillip Island. The Nunnery can arrange these and other day tours such as the famous Neighbours/Ramsay Street tour.

Melbourne - Australia's Cultural, Culinary & Sporting Capital

There is an extraordinary number of things going on in Melbourne on any given day or night from huge cultural events (for example Melbourne International Comedy Festival) to Culinary (Melbourne has Australia's most highly regarded restaurants and cafes - Italian, Greek, Vietnamese, Thai, African you name it!) to international sporting events (for example the F1 Grand Prix & Australian Open tennis) and it would be virtually impossible to name them all.

Beer O'clock?
We are literally 2 doors away from one of Melbourne's best known pubs...The Pumphouse which offers a wide variety of beers, wines and delicious food. The Pumphouse has won many awards for both their facilities and their service including AHA awards for "Best Hotel Bar" and "Best Hotel Reception". An excellent and convenient place to have a tall frosty beer or wine and their "Conservatory" is an ideal location for a function.
