The Location
The holiday park is one of the oldest in the country, with the first chalets constructed in the early 1920s. Now a beautiful site with a vast range of unique, quirky and privately owned accommodation, including beach chalets, bungalows and lodges. Many have stunning sea views and all are within a few minutes walk of the beach.
On the doorstep
Walk the coastal path at low tide all the way along the beach from Hayle river mouth to the Cliff tops of Godrevy and the surf break at Gwithian where you’ll find great food and drinks from cocktails to coffees, ice creams and fresh seafood at the local cafes and restaurants.
For those seeking surf, beginners to experienced surfers and bodyboarders can enjoy doorstep breaks at Hayle Rivermouth and Mexico Towans, both within walking distance of the park. Paddle boarding and kayaking on the Estuary, as well as kitesurfing and windsurfing are popular all year round.
Hayle is home to the RSPB Hayle Estuary Reserve, Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary, Hayle Lido, ice cream parlours, gift shops, great food (including Cornwall’s best Pasties from Philps), pubs and supermarkets.
Further Afield
Take the coastal train from Lelant to St. Ives, and visit The Tate & Barbara Hepworth museums. Visit Newlyn Harbour and Fish market for the best in Cornish Fish. Wander around the historical market town of Penzance, taking in the Harbour and Egyptian House or take a day trip to Lands End and coastal walk to Sennen Cove.
Find your way to Knill's Monument and Steeple Woodland Nature reserve, a 40 acre public open space which overlooks St Ives Bay before making your way down to Carbis Bay for fabulous food, drinks and its sheltered beach.
Cornwall has always been a favourite of artists, writers and film producers and its rugged coasts and beautiful coves have featured in numerous films and TV series most recently, the popular Poldark series. Whether it is a relaxing break or a more action packed holiday you are seeking, Toms Holidays at Riviere Towans is the ideal destination.

We had a great stay at B34 Menadarva. Property was a sufficient size for the 5 of us and had everything we could need in the kitchen. The view is amazing and only a short walk to the beach. Have been coming to Toms for around 35 years, will never stay anywhere else in Cornwall.

this chalet was excellent. All equipment was of a high standard and it was so clean. My daughter has OCD very badly and she felt the standard of cleanliness was exceptional. All bedding and towels were supplied which helped a lot with washing after the holiday. The view from the chalet was wonderful, Looking forward to staying again next year..

I've stayed in this chalet before, fantastic views and a good size chalet, very clean and comfortable. The only downside would be the electric meter.
On Friday, 01 Nov 2019
It's a lovely chalet but with this one you have to pay for electric it would be better if this was included in the price, you have to make sure that you have pound coins to put in the meter

The hot water was never hot enough to have a bath- probably the temperature was set at a particular temp. for safety reasons , - fine for showers but I do like a bath when on holiday but not one that's luke warm- otherwise the chalet was just fab.

We love this chalet and have stayed in it many times and have already booked for next year! The only thing I would mention is that some kind of blind at the bathroom and toilet windows would be useful, this isn't a criticism just a suggestion ðŸ‘

Larger notices to holiday makers in chalets warning not to feed seagulls may be helpful, the problem has increased every year and it's no longer possible to eat outside the chalets without being hounded by them. It's always a pleasure to stay in menadarvs, always clean, comfortable and very well maintained and nice clean windows to appreciate the view! We can always feel confident that no pets have been in this chalet as due to asthma and severe dog allergies it's becoming increasingly difficult to find safe holiday accommodation but we can always rely on menadarvs. Thank you Toms holidays

Full marks to the owner - really comfortable beds (not often the case when on holiday); a lot of thought was given to providing the basics even down to tin foil and nicely appointed. The one thing I would mention and not necessarily the owner's 'fault' - I am disabled in that I use 2 sticks....the cottage is described as having accessible parking but for accessiblity to the front door I had to park alongside the next door property which thankfully was empty...and I found access to the property over the steps quite difficult

1st time to hayle just down from St Ives which is beautiful by the way. B34 Menedarva absolutely stunning views from all living area, spacious 2 double & 1 twin room, good living area could not fault it. Peaceful, lucky with weather such friendly people & decent base to visit most of Cornwall. Yes there is a meter to pay for electric but as out most of day very reasonable, very comfy beds. If views your after & a decent place to relax & see the sites this is the place. Don't know how the previous person found fault. Booked for 2017 too, hopefully it don't get too popular all year round, because we definately will be going back year after year.
