About Us

Elephant Bridge Hotel is one of Victoria's oldest inns (circa 1842). A charming bluestone establishment nestled in a rural landscape alongside Mount Emu Creek, where bullock wagons once crossed and coaches rested between the South- West coastal ports and the gold diggings. It fuses its quintessential colonial past with boutique-style accommodation and sublime modern comforts. There are four guest rooms and two shared bathrooms, all recently refurbished and beautifully appointed with super-comfy beds, quality linen, luxury Elephant Bridge Hotel robes, heating, flat screen televisions and Wi-Fi. The Bed and Breakfast includes a local artisan-wholefood continental-style breakfast with freshly squeezed juice, quality teas and espresso coffee. The bar is stocked with great local wines to enjoy with a savoury platter or evening meal, provided for guests upon request in the cosy lounge-dining room by an open fire. Surrounded by the world's third largest volcanic plain with its many picturesque lakes an craters, the Elephant Bridge Hotel is a two hour drive from Melbourne. Located an hour from the Great Ocean Road and Shipwreck Coast, it is equidistant to Mount Sturgeon and the Grampian Wine Regions. It is a perfect stay for weekenders and tourists with a desire to experience Victoria's south-west.
