So the time has finally come, your Niseko dream holiday is but a couple of clicks away from being comfirmed. The question now is where to stay. The last couple of years has seen the Niseko development boom continue explosively despite the ravages of Covid 19 giving guests even more fantastic options to choose from. The majority of the new accommodations are hotel or serviced apartments which are excellent choices if you are looking for a full service luxury stay. However if you are looking for a more home away from home kind of luxury a stand alone villa or chalet may be just what you need. Holiday Niseko have a wide range of stand alone homes from 7 bedroom luxury properties to cozy cheap & cheerful 1 bedroom chalets.

The key here is space and plenty of it, with a 4 bedroom option such as Sekka House above you will have 4 bedrooms each with an ensuite to choose from, 220 sqm in which to spread yourselves across plus a fully equipped kitchen, dining and generously sized lounge area. If you compare this to the space typically offered by a 2 bedroom hotel room the choice between the two is an easy one!  Other similar large stand alone homes you might like to consider are ISE, Nero, Ori and Yoteiyama House.

If you are looking to enjoy some of the best snow in the world and emerse yourself in the beauty, peace and tranquility the area offers, a stand alone home such as Kabayama House may be just what you are looking for. This beautifully appointed 3 bedroom home is nestled amongst the trees in the quiet neighbour hood of Kabayama. Just picture yourself sitting back with a glass of your favourite while you watch the snow flakes fall. When you compare this to the experience of staying at a hotel with hundreds of other guests the choice is once again an easy one. Check these three more great 3 bedroom places here Ikigai, Fumoto and Ruby Chalet.

They say the family that eats together stays together and a stand alone home gives you a more intimate chance to spend time with your loved ones enjoying delicious home cooked (or takeaway) food on those nights that tired legs don't allow exploring the many great restaurants the Hirafu Village has on offer. Midori House above is a great value 2 bedroom home just perfect for a family of 4 or a small group of friends with a total of 6 beds on offer. A couple more great smaller options to consider are The Green House or Hanna & Jo. 

By choosing a stand alone place such as the ones above you get privacy, peace and quiet, a chance to spend quality time with those closest, the opportunity to get closer to the natural beauty that draws people to the area and a space all of your own to enjoy the ultimate holiday in the snow. Holiday Niseko have a great number of superb stand alone homes acrosss Hirafu Village and surronds so if you are interested in any of the places featured above or you'd like to see some more great options please feel free to conatct us anytime (res@holidayniseko.com).
