We stayed there for 2 weeks, 5 persons (2 adults, 3 kids). The location is quiet good, only 5 minutes to the lift, but..... just beside the house is the dump for snow clearing. So every morning we woke up at 6:30 by the noise of the machines. The house was very clean, but in my opinion too small for 5! In the bedrooms there is no space, and no space for bags or suitcases . No chance to put your clothes somewhere, the kids had to leave there clothes in the bags. The bathroom is not really a bathroom, only a small corner just beside the gas heating. The appartment is ok for 4 people , not for 5. for my next visit to Hirafu I will choose another one, sorry. The service by holiday niseko was really good.

We have spent a very nice Christmas vacation at Niseko and found Silver Birch a great choice for a family of 4, such as ours. Very centrally located, within walking distance of pretty much everything you need (incl lifts). The apartment was very clean, well set up and left nothing for us to worry about. Many thanks for a great family vacation.
