"Love this place! Rhys and Zoey are very attentive and always happy to help out any guests. Breakfast is served every morning. The lodge is cozy and nice. rooms are great. The best part is, the lodge is located 4 minutes away from the gondola on Annupuri ski resort. I would definitely stay here every visit to Niseko. Great people, great place, great location! also, the facilities are well taken care of. The dry room is in the basement and spacious for everyone's gear to hang and plenty of spots for your skis and boards. A place really worth staying in :)"
