Inside Out – August 2019

West Elm Apartment,

Mount Hotham

Mount Hotham in Victoria doesn’t get as

much attention as Perisher and Thredbo,

but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be top

of your list. In fact, thanks to its low-key

reputation and advanced-level terrain,

going early enough in the season might

mean you find yourself swishing through

powder on the quietest slopes in the country.

Happily, the accommodation has just

gone up a notch, with West Elm teaming

with Hotham Holidays to create a custom-

designed apartment right near the slopes.

The apartment features mid-century-style

furnishings, a warming fireplace and cosy

window seating, with two bedrooms and a

balcony overlooking the ski fields. There’s

even a private drying cupboard and ski

locker – and at only 70m from the slopes,

you really couldn’t be closer to the action.

From $1968 for two nights, depending on the

season; mthotham.com.au/discover/connect-

Forty Nine Post Office Lane, Crackenback

Situated in Thredbo Valley, a short drive from Jindabyne and both Perisher and Thredbo ski resorts,

Forty Nine Post Office Lane can sleep up to 12 across four bedrooms in a building designed by

Currarong firm Myson+Berkery Architects. It’s perfect for guests with kids, thanks to its six-bed

bunk room, dedicated media room and outdoor fire pit complete with fun tree-stump seats.

There’s a mudroom with a boot and glove drier – just like you’d find in locker rooms at ski

resorts – so you can put on dry gear each and every morning. Inside the house, the high-end

fitout includes a suspended fireplace and generous dining area for all-in après-ski meals.

From $990 per night for the entire house; fortyninepostofficelane.com.au
