Beautiful location overlooking the Tasman Sea. Room was the perfect size with all the amenities. Bed was SUPER comfortable and cozy!
Only thing I would comment on is if future rooms are built include heated floors in the bathroom.
The apt has great view of tasman sea...very clean and amenities are excellent .host has been helpful to facilitate easy check in . Highly recommend this property to anyone coming this way

Location, quality of unit, quality teas and coffee and breakfast goods were an unexpected suprise - thank you

Amazing views, good location to explore the west coast from. Great selection of hot drink choices!
Not enough pats with the dogs :)
One word - "Stupendous". The accommodation is modern, luxurious and a location and views to die for. The hosts - amazing. Go that little bit extra by leaving teas, coffees, cereal and use of their laundry. Always available and happy to assist. Best place I've stayed via Booking.com. There have been a few. Can't wait to return. Thk you 🥰🥰🥰
Nothing. All amazing.
This accommodation is new and beautifully decorated. The outlook is outstanding. Bring supplies, once you’re here you won’t want to leave.
Not a dislike, just setting the expectation: There are neighbours right next door, so the outdoor living is not 100% private. Similar experience to a hotel/motel.
I like the details that the owner has prepared in the studio. From the cleanliness of the beds, pillows, rooms and toilets to the array of coffee, tea and other beverages. There is also a big pack of milk provided, the owner even asked if we prefer full cream or low fat milk. When we have the third guest, the owner has kindly agreed to add an extra bed! So it was really nice to have both rooms to our family of 5. Thé views at the yard was awesome!! My family enjoyed the stay!
Easy to find. Good communication from hosts. New and well thought out unit with kitchen and sink and microwave but no hob or oven, sofa and large bed. Clean and warm with spacious shower. Lots of drinks choices milk and chocolate. Uninterrupted view of ocean. Great for a one night stay on way down West Coast.
Not a lot around it so pick up dinner en route to heat in microwave and enjoy the view of ocean and sunset.
Modern, clean, well stocked, lovely bed and bedding. Great views.
Found the air con / heating hard to get right. But hosts came and sorted.

Location, views, room, everything
El estudio está muy bien, es moderno, estaba bien equipado con todo lo necesario, e incluso supero mi expectativa, muchos tipos de te, café, y cereales. Las vistas son maravillosas. Sin duda repetiría.
No encuentro nada a mejorar
Beautiful spacious room with out of this world views. The hosts ensured our stay was memorable by including enough fresh milk to last a couple of days, along with cereals and a range of teas, and a coffee maker.
The amazing view as soon as you walked in the door. The accommodation had a good choice of teas and coffee, was comfortable and relaxing.
Amazing accomodation, highly recommend. The attention to detail was lovely, teas and coffees, cereal etc. The views are stunning.
Nothing to dislike.
Top Ausstattung und eine Top Aussicht. Der Sonnenuntergang war einfach nur herrlich
Excellent food coffee and chocolate provided . Private outdoors great. Lovely location.
Views to die for. All sorts of complimentary teas and coffee. Very well spec'ed facilities and comfortable. Second time back and we still love it.
Great view! Beautiful place.

Volledig ingericht en spiksplinter nieuw. Aanrader
Love the view and the comfortable room. Check in process was so easy and host was very friendly. Full amenities provided - the largest selection of drinks by far, even better than some 5-star hotels! And a generous amount of cereal and milk was provided in the room. The best part was to find out that host uses shower gel that donates to charities! I would come back here to support this business!
The view! Super clean, great floorplan and layout, quality furniture, china, bedding, linen etc, good variety of tea, coffee, meusli. Kind host.
Nothing, to be picky, drapes are hard to open and close.
This is an easy review. The place is absolutely amazing. The room is impeccably clean, modern and everything worked. The view is incredible . What distinguishes this place from other 10/10 places is the generosity of the hosts . They offer super nice soaps, 7 or 8 different types of tea, good coffee, 1 liter milk (!), 3 different kinds of muesli and a nice welcome bar of chocolate. Hence, indirectly, breakfast is included. Also they give 2 new, fresh and big towels per person for a 2 night stay. The bed is incredibly comfy. Literally a gem of a place !
I liked everything a lot
We were blown away by the apartment. It was pure luxury, modern furniture, fabulously comfortable bed with pure linen sheets. Breakfast cereals, a variety of coffee and teas to choose from. Lovely crockery, cutlery and utensils. Bathroom immaculate with a glorious shower and super large towels. In the peace of the day or evening one could sit inside or outside and view the Tasman Ocean, the sun setting, even the odd shower of rain blowing in. With surrounding farms, it was nature at its best to be both remembered and absorbed. Even Mount Cook was visible. The owners are delightful people, friendly, very helpful and communicate well. Thank you for the welcome West Coast chocolate.😃
The property was extremely well furnished & very comfortable. Amazing view from the deck with great sunsets & so relaxing. Our hosts were fantastic & gave us some great recommendations for walks & drives. We couldn’t have wished for a better stay to explore Greymouth & the surrounding areas. Would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending. We could have easily stayed longer but certainly glad we had booked 2 & not just a single night!
Nothing
Well presented & peaceful surroundings. The unit was lovely, it was very clean & the bed was super comfortable. The host provided plenty of extras eg: yummy chocolate on arrival, fresh milk, 3 types of cereals & a lovely selection of tea, coffee & hot chocolate. The views were gorgeous. The property was located just out of the town centre which was fine with us as we had a car.

Herrlicher Blick auf den Pazifik. Neu, modern eingerichtet, architektonisch sehr ansprechend. Bequemes Bett mit hochwertiger Bettwäsche. Ruhige Lage. Danke Anthea & Wayne für den schönen Aufenthalt in Eurer Gästewohnung!
Zu kurzer Aufenthalt in dieser tollen Unterkunft.
We just had a 2 night stay at Views Over Tasman and can’t speak highly enough about our stay The Property is brand new and feels luxurious Very very clean and spectacular Views to the sea and a Perfect Sunset Some nice touches also with top notch Toiletries and a Tea/Coffee selection the Ritz would be proud of (and a free Chocolate bar) This West Coast Area is ideal to explore and to come back after a Long Day and relax here was Perfect It felt very private and not overlooked Would Highly Recommend
Everything was perfect!
Loved the apartment - including some breakfast options in the room
The main thing is that AMAZING view ! Pictures will never do it justice but ended up watching the sunset coming down and it was fantastic, the apartment itself was so lovely , everything was where you wanted it and very well put together by the hosts
Nothing , all was fantastic

From the moment you open the door you are greeted with the lovely views over the Tasman Sea and a beautiful, spotless large studio.The kitchenette is thoughtfully supplied with everything you need plus little extras. Tasteful decor and a comfortable bed. Relaxing, peaceful & quiet location.

Everything. The views through the doors as you enter take your breath away. The generosity of Anthea & Wayne with regards to tea, coffee, milk, cereal, etc. is much more than we expected, but it was thoroughly appreciated. We could not pick fault with anything, and without doubt, this was the best place we have stayed in during the 2 weeks we have been travelling around New Zealand so far. Thank you Anthea and Wayne 😊
Our stay in NZ was fantastic. The accommodation was beautifully presented, very clean, thoughtfully equiped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially appreciated the cosy bed with lovely linen sheets, great shower and well stocked kitchen with breakfast options. Happily to stay here again fully recommend. Thank you.
The view, the rooms were very clean, the kitchen was well stocked, just about everything.
Nothing, there was nothing to dislike.
Beautiful studio—appeared brand new, so everything was spotless. Our host,Wayne, was super nice. He & his wife provide many special touches, including large variety of nice teas & coffees & breakfast items. The property is so tranquil with lovely patio that looks out to the sea.

Lovely views from our apartment, over the Tasman Sea. Mountain View’s from the front. The facilities were great and had a luxury feel to them. The bed was excellent- very comfortable. We spent two enjoyable nights here, so peaceful & 6 kms from Greymouth town. Would recommend.

Als je er even tussenuit wilt en wat luxe is views over Tasman geweldig. Een rustige ligging. Van alle gemakken voorzien. Hosts zijn super aardig en gastvrij. Zitjes buiten zijn ook fijn. Fantastisch uitzicht!
Geen minpunten
This was an amazing stay. The room is modern, comfortable, well equipped, spacious, and spotlessly clean! The views are amazing- you are on the ridge and have an unobstructed ocean view. We had a rain day and were so glad we had this place to hang out in all day! Definitely recommend this for your stay in this area (and there’s so much to do!!).
We loved everything!
The room was private and peaceful with a gorgeous outlook over the Tasman Sea. We loved the little extras provided and appreciated the layered bed linen which helped us both get the temperature we wanted. It was a big room and the kitchenette had everything we needed.
Nothing
The apartment was exceptional - I don't know if we were the first people to ever stay there, but everything seemed brand new and spotlessly clean. The view is unrivalled!! I couldn't recommend this property any more highly.
Absolutely nothing!!!
Las vistas al mar son increíbles y el apartamento nuevo y con muy buen estilo. Todo muy ordenado y limpio.
Nada en particular.
Gorgeously spotless accommodation with outstanding view! Kitchen was well stocked with lots of goodies, cannot cook though which was fine with us, we just uber picked up dinner. Barest of art and clutter which simplified the decor beautifully 🥰. Gorgeous sunset!

The cottage was beautifully decorated and clean. The communication from the host was amazing. Such a comfortable bed and the view was spectacular, even in the middle of winter. Will definitely be staying there again.
Stunning location. Exceptionally clean and comfortable room with the added bonus of breakfast. Seamless self check in. Quick responses to my questions.
All of it..
So clean, and lots of little luxuries in the kitchen provided thoughtfully and free.

Perfect accommodation. Fantastic views. Immaculately clean and comfortable. Tank and Gus (the property's dogs) are an added bonus. I never want to leave when I get there.

Newer place that had comfortable bed and small kitchen area. Easy to find and get in/out of via car. Host was friendly. Went to close by Garth Wilson Jade which was very nice, small store connected to his studio, recommend that as a stop if you stay here. Place worked well to hit the Glacier area to South and then head through Arthur's pass the next day.
Limited restaurant options near the place. View of Tasman was at a distance and not a particularly scenic shoreline area. We did not have very good sunsets during our stay.
It was modern and beautifully laid out with the most stunning view. The sunset was unreal. There was an amazing range of tea, coffee and breakfast cereals and a chocolate treat
Nothing
Quiet, serene location and wonderful views of the ocean. Spacious, beautifully decorated room carefully organized for guests convenience; excellent attention to details to create inviting and well-equiped accommodation. Appreciated the well-equiped kitchen and breakfast cereals/coffee!
Great location, lovely apartment, very well stocked.

Brand new modern accommodation with awesome owners👌Lot of extras such as coffee pods, teas, cereals and lot more especially a block of chocolate on welcome in 👍definitely views over Tasman like 2m views awesome relaxing 😎
Nothing absolutely amazing 🤩
The apartment was very modern and immaculate. The kitchen was fully stocked with different coffees and teas, muesli, breakfast cereal, milk. Everything was beautifully presented. The furnishings were extremely comfortable and the views over the Tasman Sea were spectacular. There was a little patio with comfy chairs and a table.
absolutely beautiful setting everything was excellent a truly memorable experience

Fabulous view overlooking the Tasman Sea. Comfortable room and bedding. Immaculate. Nice touches like an assortment of teas and coffees. And a large bar of yummy chocolate!
I did not expect what we got on arrival - absolutely incredible views. We loved the choice of breakfast, and we were gifted chocolate on arrival. The bed was super comfy and very tidy. Thank you!
Fantastic location, views forever, and a modern spotless well equipped unit.
Nothing to report here, 100% fantastic
What a beautiful place: the room, the view, the communication, the details…. Everything is thought about.
Nothing!
Fist stop for us in Southern Nee Zealand did not disappoint. Gorgeous views, easy to find. Rey well stocked, included recommendations for dining -but ample supplies to make your own breakfast. Relaxing stay with great hosts in a breathtaking location.
Loved everything.
Highly recommended. Our suite was very clean and tastefully furnished and the location was perfect and quiet with views of the ocean.
Views are fantastic, apartment clean and the bed is big and comfortable. Hard to take your eyes of the view so sitting on your own patio was just so relaxing, the town of Hokitika was lovely, had plenty going on, I liked it there, Greymouth town was very run down and tired looking, not for me. Anthea and wayne are lovely, we enjoyed chatting with them, would happily stay again
Couldn’t walk to the beach, had to go 2km down highway 6 either way to get to it
A beautifully appointed, spacious apartment. Lovely views over the Tasman Sea at sunset! Recommended.
Note; it's further out from Greymouth (heading south) than we'd expected, about a 10 min drive as you head south from the town.
The view of course
wasn't sure we were at the right place, sign sitting against a table, box trailer and looked like building supplies out front, not the setting for a luxury unit,something banged repeatedly through the night
This was a lovely apartment with a stunning view!
