The Warrandyte connection seems to be accurate. Most pupils knew there was a street called "Everard Drive" there, and I recall my father taking us there for a Sunday Drive and actually finding it.
Back in the 1950's Warrandyte was not quite the trendy place it is today. In fact, it seemed miles away from Melbourne - which it was - and back then it was considered a long trip to the country.
Today it's considered a Sunday outing: afternoon tea, and shopping for lovely handcrafts.
I don't recall seeing the hotel, but I am pretty sure that the Misses Everard probably saw it like this.
Everard Drive still exists.
