About the host

Hosted by Andrea Forsyth

Host profile image
I love all things Christmas and found my reindeer hiding a cupboard.I was a bit excited as you can see.
I enjoy the Snowy Mountains region and all that is on offer, bush walking in summer and snow fun in winter. It is certainly a region where you really do experience all four seasons. I enjoy meeting people from different places and helping them to enjoy all that is on offer in the Snowy Mountains and Andrea's White House.

Why they chose this property

The White House has a certain country charm which has you feeling relaxed in no time.
No wonder I loved it the moment we walked in to inspect the house.
Loved it then and love it now it has stood the test of time. It is unique with its country charm not a cookie cutter house at all !

What makes this property unique

Being on a 5 acre blush block you have the much needed peace and quiet yet you are close to Jindabyne for shopping and services, Thredbo Alpine Village for year round fun and 5 mins from the ski tube to take you to Perisher in winter. You miss all the Jindabyne traffic which is a total win !
The property has the best of both worlds peace, back to nature and yet close to it all.
Peace and quiet abounds close to the action for both summer and winter without all the crowds and noise around. Perfect escape to allow you to connect with loved ones and appreciate all that is good in life
