No. 3: WIN FIVE endota eltham DAY SPA VOUCHERS – WORTH $100 EACH

Picture postcard parks, scenic hills and the heart of the Montsalvat artists' colony. Welcome to Eltham – only a scenic railway whistle stop from the hustle of Melbourne's CBD yet a world of tranquillity away. And it is here that you will find endota eltham. There's hydrotherapy, indulgent massages (or remedial for those nagging aches) and even Pilates classes. We have five Gift Certificates worth $100 each to giveaway for use at endota spa eltham. The gift vouchers can be used up til 30 November 2009. Read our review

No. 4: WIN ONE OF 50 (yes, that’s 50) $50 OFF VOUCHERS FOR YOUR NEXT STAY AT ROYAL MAIL, DUNKELD

Just three hours west of Melbourne is the Royal Mail Hotel with its sensational renovation of what was once the town pub. There’s still a front bar, but as well there are architect-designed rooms, an uber-chic pool and an award-wining restaurant. So incredible is the food that it won the Age Good Food Guide Country Restaurant of the Year 2009 (and two hats), plus 2009 Australian Gourmet Traveller Regional Restaurant of the Year. If you want to experience it all, we have 50 x $50 off vouchers for your next stay at the Royal Mail. But be warned – if you do win a voucher, make sure you book your stay well in advance, and make your restaurant reservation at the same time! Read our review
