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
We came to the Snowy Mountains 23 years ago and fell in love with the White House and the Snowy Mountains We have been hosting guests for many years and love to help people enjoy their time in the Snowy Mountains. We have met some wonderful people. Hubby Greg loves winter ski fun and I prefer walks in Autumn and Spring. We currently live on site in seperate accommodation and enjoy hosting our guests and making sure we are on hand if needed for advice and help, particularly in the busy winter time.
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. It is so important to relax and reconnect 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 !
