Abbotsford is a leafy pocket of Melbourne’s inner north, sandwiched between the vibrant suburbs of Collingwood, Richmond and Clifton Hilll—which are easily accessible via public transport. The Yarra River runs adjacent to your stay, making it easy to start your day with a stroll along the Yarra Trail to check out the scenic views at Dight Falls and Deep Rock Historical Swimming Hole. The Abbotsford Convent and Collingwood Children’s Farm are just down the road where you can make friends with the animals, dine on fresh produce, or relax amongst the manicured gardens. Depending on when you’re travelling, you may be able to catch a women’s AFL game at Victoria Park.

Enjoy the hip and trendy end of Abbotsford—just a five-minute walk from Johnston Street, lined with cafes, sandwich shops, pizzerias and boutique shopping.

If you’re in the mood for a sandwich, you have to check out Kelso’s for lunch, while Rita’s pizza is some of the best on this side of the city.
