Montsalvat: Open Hours & Entry

Montsalvat is Australia's oldest continuously operating artist community.

From its distinctive mudbrick cottages to its soaring, vaulted halls, it is the hand-built legacy of Justus Jorgensen and his followers.

Blending art, architecture, community, and culture, Montsalvat is a celebration of creative expression, sustainable design, and meaningful connection to people and place.

We warmly welcome visitors during our open hours to explore the galleries, grounds, and artist studios. Montsalvat is a privately owned creative precinct-not a public park-and we encourage visitors to relax and enjoy all that the site offers, including our on-site cafe and wine bar. If you're planning a special visit, large group gathering, or would like to host an event, we invite you to connect with us to assist in making your experience truly memorable.

Accessibility
Montsalvat is a heritage-listed site located on a hillside, with pathways, staircases and buildings that reflect its unique history and setting. While this contributes to its charm, it also means that accessibility varies across the grounds. We recommend allowing extra time to navigate our sloped and gravel areas. Our staff and volunteers are always happy to provide guidance on the most accessible routes.

As Montsalvat is a heritage-listed site, some surfaces are uneven, so sensible footwear is recommended. If you have specific accessibility requirements, please contact our team before your visit so we can best support your planning.
Free accessible parking is available near the main entrance to the cafe and the grounds.

Montsalvat is situated on a natural slope and features a mix of gravel and paved pathways. Some areas and buildings, particularly those at the base of the property such as the Great Hall and Chapel, can only be reached via stairs. However, many parts of the grounds and several buildings-including the cafe, Residents Gallery, Village Square area, the Barn Gallery and Long Gallery-are accessible for visitors using wheelchairs, mobility aids, or prams.
Please note, that some of our doorways are narrower than standard width, and some wheelchairs may not be able to pass through comfortably, however there are some spaces with an alternative entry.
An accessible bathroom is located behind the Barn Gallery, close to the cafe, and seating can be found in shaded outdoor and indoor spaces across the site.
