SCOUT REVIEW
The Maples Niseko is a relatively new player in the race for prime ski-in ski-out luxury hotels in Niseko - and it has a lot going for it. Opened in December 2018, it offers a fantastic range of apartments, ranging from Studio, 2 Bedroom, 3 Bedroom, and Penthouses, with possibly the best ski-in ski-out access of any hotel in Upper Hirafu.
The apartments at The Maples have been wonderfully designed, with a major focus on spacious living areas and functional kitchens, especially catered to families. Each apartment is decorated with a style that seems to be aimed at appealing to as large an audience as possible by being simple and somewhat bland, with muted tones and plenty of brown, beige and wood. Each houses a full kitchen with modern appliances (kitchenettes in Studios), living and dining area, washer & dryer, and the option of either kings or single bedding, perfect for families who require flexible sleeping arrangements. Guests also have the choice of view depending on their budget, from village views, and ski slope views, to stunning views of Mt Yotei. The studio rooms are all located on the ground floors, so don't offer any particular view. Scout loves the huge windows featured in each apartment, especially those facing the ski resort side where you almost feel like you're already on the slopes!
Barely metres from the Ace Family Run, it has never been more convenient to hit the slopes each day. The Maples Niseko features large individual ski lockers, with great access directly from the slopes, and a cafe (Three Trees Cafe) and restaurant on site to either grab-and-go or to enjoy a long lunch (yummy noodle bowls with alternating menu). There is an onsite physio too, which once-a-year skiers will well and truly appreciate. For those booking rentals via Rhythm, you can simply leave your gear in the ski locker at the end of your stay (how convenient!). The only thing missing from the Maples is an onsen. Families will love the 24 hour reception/concierge, and the proximity to both ski school and the main Hirafu village - the triple threat! Local restaurants, bars, supermarket, and onsen are all within a few minutes walk (no shuttle rides needed!), making The Maples the perfect choice for a family ski vacation.
Who should stay here
The Maples Niseko is perfect for those who want a self-catered apartment that’s ski-in/ski-out and close to all the action in Hirafu.

Scout Booking Terms & Conditions
- Availability: Booking of all packages & accommodation is subject to availability at time of confirmation of package option by customer.
- Rate includes: All associated taxes. Some hotels charge extra fees for parking, cots, rollaways etc. Such fees can be confirmed on request based on your requirements.
- Payment Schedule:
- Deposit: 25% of the full amount is due WITHIN 7 DAYS OF CONFIRMATION to secure the booking.
- Final Balance: Invoice will be issued for the remaining balance 80 days prior to departure. PAYMENT IS DUE 70 DAYS PRIOR to departure. Failure to pay by 70 days may result in the auto-cancellation of accommodation by the accommodation provider or late payment fees.
- Bookings within 70 days: Full payment is required within 7 days to secure the booking.
- Variations: In some circumstances suppliers may have different payment policies to the above. Additionally some Early Bird deals require full payment by or soon after the book-by date. In these instances Scout will clearly communicate any variances prior to confirmation.
- Cancellation Policy:
- All deposits are non-refundable once received.
- For balance payments made within 70-45 days prior to the trip the deposit amount is non-refundable.
- No refund for total amount for cancellations 45 days or less prior to arrival and no-shows. In unexpected, unfortunate circumstances (family death etc) Scout will work to negotiate with the supplier for a full or partial refund, however this is not guaranteed. We recommend taking travel insurance to make sure you are covered. Cancelling due to weather, missed travel connections or lack of snow is not considered an unexpected circumstance and is one of the risks you must wear as part of taking a ski trip. Unless the supplier has a snow guarantee or weather cancellation policy, Scout will not refund any part of the package due to these factors.
- Variations: Please note that some hotels may have stricter policies (such as no refund within 60 days) and we are required to pass on these policies. We will communicate any varations to the above cancellation policy prior to confirmation of booking.
- Changes Policy:
- Once bookings are confirmed and deposit is paid service fees will apply for every amendment to existing elements, late final payment and travel document re-issue in addition to fees charged by suppliers
- In a few instances we purchase products through third party providers. If you change part of your package whilst at a destination, the 3rd party provider may have a different refund policy to that of the supplier in the destination. Wherever possible we will work to recover any refunds that come from a change at the destination, however it is not guaranteed.
- Surcharges: Scout does not charge any additional fees for the booking. Prices quoted are for cash (bank transfer) payments only. Credit card payments (Amex, Visa or Mastercard only) will be subject to 1.8% surcharge.
- Booking Currency: Scout will quote and charge in one currency of your choice from AUD, USD, CAD, JPY, EUR or GBP only.
- Currency Exchange Policy: If you book an international destination all remaining balances are subject to change (based on currency fluctuations) until the final payment has been processed. This can go either way (if your currency gets stronger you will be invoiced less!). We will confirm at the time of invoice what the final amount is, based on the exchange rate at that time. Should you wish to pay the balance earlier (prior to when it’s actually due) to secure that current exchange rate you are welcome to request the final invoice at any time. Once payments have been made (deposit or final balance), no refunds will be given for changes in the amount of what that payment would be, based on currency changes at any time prior to your trip.
- Travel Insurance: Once your booking is confirmed, we strongly recommend taking out travel insurance as it will often cover the cost of cancelled reservations.
