Located 5 minutes from Kosciuszko National Park, Forty Nine Post Office Lane is ideally situated in the heart of Thredbo Valley, accessible to Jindabyne, Mount Kosciuszko, Australia’s premier ski resorts (5 minutes to Perisher’s Ski Tube, 15 minute drive to Thredbo), iconic local dining experiences and a myriad of outdoor summer and winter activities.

Designed for friends and families, this home encompasses luxury, comfort and practicality ensuring every guest, big and little, has a memorable stay.

Our Snowy Mountains home has been a ‘project in waiting’ for some 17 years, finally built in 2017. Together with our architect Vince Myson and Jamie Durie (his amazing vision for our most recent addition; a new outdoor living space), we have achieved our dream and created a wonderful family holiday home.

We take great pleasure in sharing our home with friends, family and visitors alike and hope, as a guest, you love it as much as we do.

“Many thanks Luisa.  The property has been amazing and we have had a really great time”.

– Leah, January 2023

“This is a wonderful, beautiful property. Most stunning is the view from the large window in the kitchen/dining area of mature eucalyptus trees looking down over the outdoor kitchen and fire pit area. We made great pizzas in the pizza oven, and the night was cool enough to warrant lighting the fire pit. Early mornings a kangaroo mum and her joey would bound along the backyard. The beautifully furnished and modern amenities are top notch, and the kitchen is truly gourmet with pretty much everything at our fingertips. Thank you for making this property available for others to enjoy. We had a great time”.

“Amazing stay, amazing house, will definitely be staying again”

“Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Luisa for allowing us to hold our small private wedding on the property. The grounds are beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for more. The photos don’t do justice to this beautiful property. Just gorgeous, and Luisa has thought of everything! Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly think of. The kids bunk room is fully kitted out with games, books and such comfortable beds. Every bedroom is large with plenty of storage. The outside area was great for enjoying wood fire pizzas or a bbq. We just loved the fire pit. We just loved our stay at 49 Post Office Lane”.

– Parisa, April 2022

Amazing property, very luxurious and modern ,clean ,spacious. Kitchen very well equipped with everything we needed. The fire pit was very handy, kids loved it. Kids also loved the bedroom with bunk beds. Truly 5 star”.

We had a great time, thank you!”

– Anita, Sydney, April 2022

What a fantastic place to stay! Gorgeous setting with a beautiful and very well presented house. For our group of friends, it was the perfect setting for a few days getaway in the Snowys. We used the outdoor setting every night, jumping between the pizza oven and easy-to-use charcoal bbq (which is actually a really efficient grill). The fire pit settled us into each night. Inside, the standouts are the kitchen and the bedrooms, which is just how it should be to make holidays fun and refreshing“.

– Peter, Queensland, March 2022

I took a group of 12 friends down in February and we had the best week. The house is amazing and has everything you could need. The new outdoor living space is perfect for the cool summer nights, the pizza oven was an absolute hit! I couldn’t recommend this place enough and will definitely be back next year!

Luisa is so accommodating and was most helpful in recommending some of the best local places to eat and shop. Thank you for all your help, we can’t wait for our next stay!

– Olivia, Gold Coast, February 2022

“Thanks so much, we had a wonderful weekend” You were amazing to deal with, the house is incredible and so well setup/stocked. We will definitely be back. The only issue was 2 nights was just not long enough! Thanks again”

– Jess, Canberra, February 2022

“Amazing Property! We loved the huge kitchen with everything to cook for a big family, comfy beds with nice bedding and towels, beautiful firepit to sit around at night, room for everyone to have their own space, very clean. We will definitely be back”.

– Amy, Sydney, January 2022

“Thanks so much, we honestly had the most amazing holiday and a summer might be our new regular. You have every bit of detail needed in the house, was brilliant”.
