From Snowgums’ visitors’ book
Beautifully renovated farmhouse
The accommodation within Pippa’s beautifully renovated farmhouse is homely, authentic and practical. The love, thought and huge amounts of energy and determination it has taken to create Snowgums have achieved a unique and very special holiday retreat. Pippa’s knowledge of the area is bountiful and even without a car we were able to experience some of the activities on offer. My first visit to the Alps & I am uplifted by the experience.”
