Elle Dale is a small community with only a post office / General Store. That was ok with us as we enjoy peace and quiet. We intended to travel around the area and had no trouble with meals in surrounding small towns. Mandy's place is a rustic older house, very basic but very clean and good value for money. Mandy is a delightful host and we enjoyed sharing her house with her for the two nights ... and her cooked breakfasts are great. Prospective guests need to know that the shower is over the bath. There is a helpful grab handle, but for some that may be a difficulty.
