  • The Niseko area receives huge snowfalls each year in winter. While staying at this lodge, guests will need to do some snow clearing, including stairs and entrance ways. You must also snow clear the driveway yourself at least daily and on 30cm + days often twice.

    We will clear the rest of the house approximately once per week (depending on snowfall) but you must maintain the driveway. There are snow shovels supplied to do this and it is a great warm up before you go skiing ;)
