The Chalet
Katoomba is located in a peaceful south-facing spot on the Riviere Towans Chalet Site, situated in the fabulous sand dunes of Hayle.
It has two double bedrooms, a cosy living room with underfloor heating, a fully equipped kitchen and a shower room. It also has a large decking area with comfortable furniture - the perfect place to relax after a day on the stunning beach. Watch this space for some outdoor improvements due for the 2026 season!
The Beach
The stunning 3 mile long beach is less than a 10 minute, safe walk away and is fully lifeguarded during peak times. The soft, golden sand is perfect for building sandcastles, with a fabulous shallow tidal pool. This changes with winter storms so it's exciting to see each year! The beach equally has plenty of space for watersports- swimming, surfing, bodyboarding, windsurfing, paddleboarding... With cafes and shops close to the beach, you really can spend all day there.
The majority of the beach is dog friendly, but there are some seasonal, daytime restrictions on other parts. Please see the local area page for further information.
The Location
Katoomba is set within Riviere Towans, which is a 40 acre site nestled in the sand dunes. The South-West Coast Path is a short walk from the chalet.
We are well positioned for all that Hayle has to offer. There are some fabulous restaurants and shops, and a few supermarkets within a short drive. There are two pubs within a 10 minute walk, and numerous takeaways if you want to relax back at the chalet or take dinner down to the beach.
Hayle is centrally located for many Cornish attractions. It's 20 minutes away from Marazion and St Michael's Mount, about 40 minutes from the Minack Theatre and Land's End, and only a short scenic train ride to St Ives.
What Guests Say
We have just spent a wonderful week at this gorgeous little chalet and wish we could’ve stayed longer!
Even though it is a relatively small place we had everything we needed and were very comfortable, big fluffy towels are very appreciated after walking back up from bodyboarding and showering off. Thanks to the beautiful October sunshine we were able to hang out wetsuits on the washing line directly outside the front door and the underfloor heating was an absolute pleasure for our chilly feet.
Thank you so much for thinking of everything and providing good quality cosy and comfortable accommodation in our favourite part of Cornwall.
Emily Savage
We had a wonderful week in Katoomba. We loved this cosy Modern chalet that is just a 5 to 10 minute walk from the amazing beach! The views whilst walking here are stunning also. We enjoyed Katoomba so much we cooked in a lot and relaxed with ours springers Lottie & Lexie after many lovely walks. Communication with Kerry was excellent also and we are sure we will be looking to holiday here again. Thanks for our lovely stay!
