The Elms B&B is the perfect stop for your ideal weekend getaway or vacation in Colac, country Victoria, Australia.

You're only 40 minutes from some of Victoria's best beaches, and The Great Ocean Road - one of the world's most scenic routes where you can discover the world famous 12 Apostles, Bell's Beach, Apollo Bay, Lorne, or the Otway Mountain Ranges amongst other fantastic places.

Be on the look out in your travels, for legend has it that the 'Beast from Barongarook' sometimes meanders by the roadside late at night. Some say it may be that all elusive, terrifying Australian Bunyip.

The Elms was built in 1883 for Dr. Foster as the local surgeon's residence and practice. Since then, an extension to the kitchen has been built and the original front of the house (as seen in the old photo to the right), is the right side of the house today.

In 1996 the house was purchased by Carmen Zahra and became a AAA rated 3.5 star bed and breakfast with 3 splendid rooms to choose from. Each room has its own central heating, TV and video for your comfort and enjoyment.

Today, The Elms, is slowly being remodelled to its former glory while maintaining the modern conveniences and comforts we all enjoy. The Elms Bed & Breakfast is a non-smoking venue.

After a superb country breakfast, which includes a cold selection of cereals, yoghurt, fruit, juice, and a hot selection of bacon, eggs, mushrooms, fried tomatoes, toast, and tea/coffee, you are sure to be satisifed.

If you don't have plans, feel free to ask your wonderfully warm & friendly host, Carmen Zahra for suggestions.
