If you like spending time outside, then spend the day at Mount Doran Bushland Reserve, located 2.6 mi (4.2 km) from central Elaine. If you like Mount Doran Bushland Reserve, you'll love Meredith Education Area and Mount Buninyong Scenic Reserve, both just a short drive away.
I was greeted with a friendly smile and that theme continued throughout my two night stay. Having to catch up on some business was made very easy with access to high speed internet without the need to purchase or log in to a third party. Very comfortable and clean - very good value for money in my opinion.
