Montsalvat is a truly unique heritage property set on 12 acres of tranquil gardens in leafy Eltham – an easy 30-minute drive from the Melbourne CBD. Founded as an artist’s colony in 1934 by the renowned artist Justus Jorgensen, Montsalvat features today as both Australia’s oldest continually working artists’ colony and a popular art and event space.
From its charming mudbrick cottages to the majestic Great Hall, Montsalvat’s collection of unusual buildings ensures a memorable event and stunning photography. The architecture is fashioned on the provincial medieval style of French Villages and the great Gothic cathedrals of France and Spain; largely inspired by Justus’ travels and life in Europe. The building materials used were locally sourced including the bluestone and clay from the Eltham hillside. Recycled materials salvaged from prominent historic city buildings also feature, including the famous floor-to-ceiling stained-glass windows which makes a stunning addition. Artworks of significance, both old and new, can be found across the gallery and event spaces, and sculptures can be found amongst the gardens. Guests will also delight in Montsalvat’s resident animals – a family of white geese and several peacocks that roam freely. There truly is no place quite like Montsalvat in Australia.
As an arts and events space, Montsalvat is frequently used for weddings, seated receptions, cocktail parties, memorials, festivals and exhibitions, team-building events, filming, photoshoots, and small meetings.
Spaces available for booking include the Great Hall and Justus Studio, the Upper Gallery and The Attic, the Bluestone Chapel, and the Long Gallery and its Ornamental Pool area. More intimate spaces, as well as outside lawn area, are also available to book upon request.
Montsalvat is ideally suited for smaller events to those of up to 130 guests. Ample free parking is available on site. Accommodation can be sourced locally.
