We loved staying at Sekka Ni! An amazing place to stay and enjoy the snow. Would definitely recommend Bar Gyu; it's worth the line. Will come back.

Sekki Ni Chalet was a perfect base for our recent ski trip. The unique layout, offering three self-contained (but adjoining) spaces couldn’t have been better for our family, letting us gather in the large upper floor kitchen and living areas, whilst giving space and privacy when we needed it. The chalet has everything we needed to be comfortable for the week and is easily walkable to the shuttle or to the main street. And having the Niseko Gourmet team come in and create a 7 course degustation dinner was the highlight!

Thanks for the pleasant stay!

Thank you for the wonderful stay at Sekka Ni 1. We really enjoyed our time there, even in Summer there's loads to do in the vicinity, especially Moint Yotei :)

July 12th, 2023 - July 16th, 2023

This place is an awesome stay for us, especially it is very close to lots of good restaurants and bars. Recommend Bar Gyu (must try, Rita sour!), Rin. Will come back!

I just wanted to thank you for your impeccable service during our stay at Hirafu. You were incredibly efficient, friendly, helpful & easy to deal with. You definitely enhanced our trip by making it extra easygoing. All the best.

Our stay in Sekka-ni Niseko is amazing! Alyanna and Finn were very helpful. We were picked up at the Hirafu welcome center (felt like a VIP). Breakfast was provided and we were assisted in booking our activities. Our room is clean, cozy and has a beautiful view. The bathroom looks like an onsen. Plenty of Izakayas around the area. Food trucks near hirafu intersection serves great food. Easy transfer to Hanazono. Private onsen near the welcome center. Powder snow is unlike any other! Really hoping to come with our family someday!

The help from the staff at elite havens was tremendous. From check-in, when Alice drove us to and from our previous accommodation to grab our stuff, to the check-out courtesy ride to the welcome centre, the stay was as easy as could be! Great staff at Elite Havens, everyone was very helpful and nice :)

Our stay at Sekka Ni 1 was amazing! The property has Elite Havens drivers that can take you to the Hirafu lifts each day and they even helped with transportation to and from the property. We were a short walk away from many restaurants and the main part of town. We were also provided a package of breakfast food for a few days. This is the perfect spot for a couple to stay!

February 4th, 2020 - February 10th, 2020

We had a wonderful time! Thank you for the stay! The service from the Elite Havens pick up/ drop off team was lovely! Location was central and easy to get to places on foot.

December 28th, 2019 - January 7th, 2020

A massive thank you for all the kindness and attention to detail you have provided in making this a killer time for us (we are having a belated/extra 20 year wedding anniversary of sorts). You have all far exceeded our expectations and we are just so content with everything (some extra snow would be nice if you can swing that too). Also wanted to say a particular shout out for taking care of our trash and washing up our kitchen and everything else. We weren’t aware that that level of service was part of the accommodation so it was a very pleasant surprise.

December 14th, 2019 - December 21st, 2019

The place is super Japanese style, very cozy. They have cleaning people come every day to wash my dishes and clean my room. They have a concierge team, OMG! They helped me book lift tickets and bus tickets (hard to do as foreigner and if you miss the timing, you have to pay 300 USD for private ride from Sapporo). They also have private shuttle service that takes you from home to lift, to supermarket, and to random places free of charge as long as the destination is within Hirafu region. They have 2 cars running the the area. Finally, the highlight, they prepare newly bought bread, eggs, milk, bacon, juice, and butter in the fridge before I arrived! I have never been to an Airbnb that buys me food. Would definitely come back!

December 5th, 2019 - December 10th, 2019

Wonderful, cosy studio apartment in great location close to restaurants - good for a couple. Well equipped with a kitchen and washing machine - they even had some complimentary breakfast foods. Andrew was very generous to pick us up at Kutchan station on arrival and also take us to the coach for an early morning check out. Highly recommended.

November 29th, 2019 - December 2nd, 2019

The home is modern and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. It is also very thoughtful of you to provide food for self cooking of breakfast. The little touches like condiments and butter is much appreciated. The location is also very good as it is close to many streets. Also appreciate the personal attention of Andrew to meet us at the house and show us around and to arrange for collection of a parcel that was sent here. Thank you Andrew for your attention to detail.

October 23rd, 2019 - October 25th, 2019

Thank you so much. Everything was great!

January 12th, 2024 - January 18th, 2024

Dear Elite Havens team, Thank you so much for an amazing few days and for all your help and recommendations. Sekka Ni 2 has been better than we could have hoped. It's definitely been a memorable trip with the most amazing snow. Thanks for everything! p.s. Big shout out to Yuuka who could not have helped us more. Thank you. And Finn who picked us up late when we arrived and made sure we were fed. Legends.

February 15th, 2023 - February 19th, 2023

This was a thoroughly enjoyable stay in a beautiful, well-located apartment. Love the light and views from the double volume windows in Sekka Ni 2. Thank you for the responsive communication and ensuring it we had a great time. Cheers!

December 15th, 2022 - December 27th, 2022

We enjoy and had relaxing time. In addition the Japanese staff supported us at all times. If I had chance again I’d like to stay at Sekka Ni again. Thank you for your hospitality ;)

August 8th, 2020 - August 10th, 2020

Thank you so much for your amazing hospitality. We can’t express how helpful you have been during the planning stages and throughout our stay. Everyone has been amazingly friendly. Niseko has been wonderful! The kids loved ski school and were sad to have to leave. Off piste skiing after a heavy snowfall was incredible. The mountain was full of adventure. The kids say its one of the best vacations they have ever had. They loved it here. Hope to be back soon. You and your staff in Niseko were all amazing and I will recommend Elite Havens to all of my colleagues and friends. Your assistance and effort were much appreciated. Thank you so much.

February 3rd, 2020 - February 7th, 2020

Dear Elite Havens team - Thank you for making our trip to Niseko unforgettable! Not only were you all so helpful, you are all welcoming and kind people. The accommodation was perfect! Clean, homey and relaxing! We couldn't be more grateful for the lifts to and from places around the mountain (saving us from slipping on the ice). We will be back. Thanks again.

January 26th, 2020 - January 31st, 2020

Thank you for looking after us so well. We have had a great trip. Homeward bound now. Enjoy the rest of the season and see you next year.

December 23rd, 2019 - December 30th, 2019

We've had the most wonderful stay in Niseko - from waking up to powder, sitting down to our complimentary breakfast and coffee. The ease of the free lifts from the fantastic team - we could not have wanted more. To Julia, Daniel, Emma - such friendly and energetic people to greet us every morning when we are spirited and eager and every afternoon when our legs are weary. We cannot wait to come back to Niseko again and will be recommending everyone to do so in the mean time. Best Honeymoon destination ever!

December 18th, 2019 - December 22nd, 2019

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Niseko! Lovely staff, well-organized, super clean, and well-maintained grounds. Thank you for making our first visit to Niseko special. We absolutely loved staying here and plan to return soon. All the best!

December 31st, 2023 - January 7th, 2024

Thanks for the wonderful stay! The house is absolutely lovely. We love the living room the most. Everything is nicely prepared. And our host is very nice and helpful. She even helped us to find the mobile phone lost on a taxi.

July 18th, 2023 - July 21st, 2023

Thanks for making our stay wonderfully comfortable and extremely convenient. The apartment was very well serviced and we appreciate the delicious pantry items. A big thank you to Yuuka for arranging transport when needed. We hope to be back soon! Happy 2023!

December 25th, 2022 - January 1st, 2023

For our family of 4 living in Tokyo, it has been the perfect place to stay to experience summer nature of Hokkaido and an escape for the Covid 19. Apartment and staff have been amazing. And we will be back to enjoy the powder snow. Jostien, Cindy, Nana and Will!

July 21st, 2020 - July 26th, 2020

Thank so much for having us! We had a fantastic time. This apartment could not have been more perfect for us. We can't recommend the accommodation and the team highly enough. Nothing was too much to ask and we really appreciated all of the help and tips they provided. Looking forward to coming back again soon. AAA+

February 4th, 2020 - February 8th, 2020

A super duper trip for all. We have had a great time. So much snow. Snowed 5 days straight! Amongst the skiing we have had many funny moments on the mountain! Night skiing was excellent powder, very cool, bars great. We shall be back one day. Thank you team Elite Havens for looking after us all so efficiently.

December 30th, 2019 - January 6th, 2020

This is a lovely apartment with an excellent view of Mt. Yotei - especially in the morning when you wake to start a day at Niseko. Even though, throughout our stay here, we didn't have a lot of snow on the slopes, Sekka Ni makes up for it. The amazing kitchen area let us have a lot of brightness during our dinner and breakfast moments. I will recommend to all my friends.

November 25th, 2019 - November 29th, 2019

Such a wonderful place and view from the room. The rooms are huge and the kitchen is so well equipped. Amazing place.
