Description

Old Man Creek is a pair of stylish duplex apartments – conjoined chalets, really – in a quiet corner of Hirafu Village. The chalet is set beside a babbling creek, enjoying clear views of both the ski mountain and Mt Yotei on those classic Niseko bluebird days. There aren’t many places that do this well, and in such style and spacious comfort to boot. Watching thick powder snow fall outside with the ski hill lit up for night skiing in the distance, while you’re warm, skied out and full from dining on Japanese cuisine, is a feeling you won’t forget.

Sleeps: 10 guests (12 max) each
Size: 276m² each (floorplans)
Built: 2006

These spacious and plush duplex apartments enjoy North American style with Japanese design features. Big, open timber beamed spaces with triangular windows give it a big alpine feel, while Japanese ofuro bath, genkan entrance for removing shoes, and tokonoma ornamental display its locale. The apartments feature plenty of raw exposed timber and stone feature walls, complete with gas fireplaces. Western appliances in the kitchens and the latest entertainment options including Netflix, WiFi internet and private lounge will keep you entertained in Western comfort.

Both Old Man Creek apartments have five bedrooms, one sleeping 10, the other 12. One bedroom is on the ground floor, two are on the middle floor, and two master bedrooms share the top floor – one with ski hill views, one facing Mt Yotei. Both master bedrooms on the top floor have en suites, while the two bedrooms on the middle floor share a large bathroom with Japanese ofuro bath. The bedroom downstairs also has an ensuite and is alongside the private lounge.

The kitchen, dining and living area is a spacious, high-ceiling open plan space, an excellent space for lounging around and enjoying finger foods or light snacks before venturing out for dinner. The views here are literally second to none. Not many places enjoy such clear views of both of Niseko’s major mountains – the ski hill Mt Annupuri, and the wild, snow-covered volcano Mt Yotei.
