The custom furniture and décor of the house is unique in Niseko, playing with a range of bright colours and some very funky furnishings across the property. You could describe this as “fun luxury” as opposed to the sleek kind of luxury present in most of Niseko’s upmarket properties (not that there’s anything wrong with that!). If you’re with a group of friends, you’re guaranteed to get some great social media snaps in this one!

The living and dining room on the top floor cleverly separates the different areas of the room, while retaining a sociable open plan format. The kitchen comes with everything needed to cook a meal to rival local restaurants – though if you prefer to dine out, it’s only a short stroll to the closest izakayas. The dining table seats 12, while the lounge suites around the TV can seat another half a dozen bodies, perfect for a group hang after a day of skiing.

The chalet has four bathrooms, one of them en suite to the master bedroom. You’ll love the different colours and materials used in each bathroom – especially the forest wallpaper themed bathroom on the top floor! The property comes with a large ski storage and drying room, as well as laundry with washer and dryer. There is parking for one car. The highlight, however, has got to be the epic Jacuzzi waiting out on the deck. Boom!

Gustav’s Hideaway
Location

SETTING / ATMOSPHERE

Gustav’s Hideaway is located in the quiet lower end of Lower Hirafu Village. While it may not have centre-of-town convenience, that’s not really what you want in a hideaway is it? Instead of the high-rise jungle of Upper Hirafu, enjoy forests, other chalets and cabins, and fields of powder. It’s one of the closest properties in Niseko to Mt Yotei, giving it window-frame filling views of Mt Fuji’s little brother. From the other side of the property you have views up the ski mountain, which is beautifully lit up at night. Awesome.

LIFTS / TRANSPORT

It’s probably a 15-minute walk to the closest lift, although the stop for the free shuttle bus is just en easy five-minute walk away. This bus can take you to any lift, ski school, gear hire shop, restaurant or bar in the village up until 9pm. With a covered car port at your disposal it may be worth investing in a rental for your stay – that way you can pick and choose between ski slopes based on the day’s conditions, or take the kids out to one of many exciting local destinations a short drive (but a long bus ride) away.

RESTAURANTS / BARS

Lower Hirafu is full of hidden treasures – little izakayas, tasty restaurant retreats and even a clubs and trendy bars to keep you entertained without needing to hit the main streets up above. Some of the restaurants and bars are hidden inside old lodges, so keep an eye out for red lanterns and dimly lit signs in the snow banks. Also find one of the oldest traditional open-air onsens less than 10 minutes’ walk away. Stock up on groceries on your first day and apart from skiing you almost needn’t leave Gustav’s Hideaway at all!

    Seriously an awesome chalet in Hiafu. The bunk room for kids is on the entry level and perfect for 6 kids or adults who don’t mind sleeping in bunks. They are large single beds so very comfortable. The living and dining room is on the 3rd floor and looks out to great views with a very cool relaxed vibe. Groups love the chalet for obvious reasons!
