Why Stay at Cove Niseko: A Luxury Retreat at the Base of Annapuri

For travelers seeking the perfect balance of adventure, comfort, and exclusivity, Cove Niseko delivers an experience unlike any other. Nestled just a short walk from the Annupuri gondola, this luxury chalet places you right at the heart of Niseko’s world-class skiing, while offering a private sanctuary filled with modern comforts and alpine charm.

1. Prime Annupuri Location

Forget long shuttles and crowded slopes—Cove Niseko is just minutes from the Annupuri gondola. This area is known for its quieter atmosphere, wide-open ski runs, and direct access to Niseko’s famous powder. In summer, Annupuri transforms into a hiking and cycling haven, making Cove an all-season destination.

2. Spacious Luxury Chalet Living

Cove Niseko features six bedrooms plus attic and basement rooms, making it ideal for families and groups. The open-plan living spaces, floor-to-ceiling windows, and warm alpine design create the perfect environment to relax after a day outdoors.

3. Private Onsen and Relaxation

One of the highlights of staying at Cove Niseko is the private indoor onsen-style bath—the ultimate way to rejuvenate after skiing, hiking, or exploring. Pair this with cozy lounges and mountain views, and you have a retreat that’s as restorative as it is luxurious.

4. Entertainment for All Ages

Cove Niseko is more than a ski chalet—it’s a destination in itself. Guests can enjoy a dedicated games room with table tennis, arcade machines, mahjong and entertainment options designed for both kids and adults. It’s the perfect space for après-ski fun or family nights in.

5. Concierge Services That Go Beyond

The in-house concierge at Cove Niseko ensures every stay is effortless. From arranging ski rentals and lessons to booking private dining experiences with local chefs or securing reservations at Niseko’s top restaurants, everything is taken care of with personalized attention.

Staying at Cove gives you a luxurious base to explore Niseko’s year-round beauty.

7. The Luxury of Privacy and Space

Unlike hotels or resorts, Cove Niseko provides the intimacy of a private villa with the comforts of a fully serviced stay. Whether hosting friends, gathering family, or enjoying a romantic escape, you’ll find space, privacy, and attention to detail at every turn.

Reviews

Mespi Lodge is an awesome pad for hosting friends and family, and base of operations for some serious skiing and snowboarding. The warm western red cedar walls and wood detailing really give it a warm alpine feel, right at home at the base of Annupuri Resort. Beyond the seven bedrooms, there are numerous areas for entertaining and amusement, including the LDK, sunroom, and gym. The huge games room deserves special mention, with heaps of space for the pool table, ping pong, darts, large format television and stereo, arcade, and library.

Open up the large bank of windows to enjoy the jacuzzi with the cool mountain air, and skip across the deck to the sauna. A small office is available for someone with work to attend to, and the separate laundry room is convenient. Designed with riding in mind, there is a dry room and board area right off the entrance, and a large basement storage space for an owner with a large quiver of boards.

A large 85 sqm central deck spaces on the second floor is perfect for BBQs and outdoor eating, refinished with hard wearing synthetic decking and new railings in 2022. Located on a large lease lot, the owner and guests of Mespi Lodge enjoy an expansive yard with ample setbacks, and a beautiful birch forward that is enjoyed from the sun room, jacuzzi, and games rooms.

Next door is the famous Del Sole Pizza, and Lucky Fingers restaurant is diagonally across the street for eats and drinks. Also within walking distance is the beautiful onsen hot spring at Ikoine Yuyado Iroha. For groups that want chalet living and yet the convenience of being able to walk to restaurants, amenities, and the lifts, Mespi Lodge is an ideal fit.
