Great spot and perfect place to stay for a ski trip to Perisher. Plenty of space for a large family and literally 5 mins from the ski tube.

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Forsyth

Host profile image
We came to the Snowy Mountains 20 years ago and fell in love with the White House. We have been hosting guests for many years and love to help people enjoy their time in the Snowy Mountains. Hubby Greg loves winter ski fun and I prefer walks in Autumn and Spring. We have various business interests that take us away at times but we always ensure local managers look after our guests and we are always available on mobiles.

Why they chose this property

Simple - out door adventures in winter and summer.
We also love the peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of every day city life. It is good to stop sometimes and just enjoy the simple things in life like a glass of wine watching the sun go down, a chat with local community and exploring all that is on offer in this unique part of the world.

What makes this property unique

Andrea's White House is not your standard cookie cutter house. This is different.
We love the country style and have maintained this look and feel - we believe this creates peace and tranquility allowing you to slow down and just enjoy life.
It gives everyone a chance to just breathe and remember that life is good and it is so important to connect with family and friends.
We really appreciate the quiet being on 5 acres and love watching the little birds come and go and the kangaroos enjoying eating our grass !
