Everyone Will Love...
The dedicated games room at Tonga transforms group evenings into proper entertainment. This separate space means adults can relax whilst younger guests play, or the whole group can compete together. Having this additional room prevents everyone cramming into living areas. The games room works brilliantly for rainy Cornish days when outdoor plans change. It's a proper group feature that sets this property apart.

Groups travelling with pets will need to arrange kennels or pet-sitting services before their trip. The property owners maintain a strict no-pets policy across all bookings. This keeps the lodge suitable for guests with allergies and maintains cleanliness standards throughout the year.

Tonga Reviews

Maxine
This is a stunning house and location. The views were beautiful and we saw some amazing sunsets. The house is spacious and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We did not want to leave. We walked down to the beach every day. We definitely would love to go back next year.
Ruth
WoW! Gorgeous house, stunning location. Has everything you need, we are a family of 5 plus Labrador. So much space, great layout, kitchen is really well equipped.
Celia
An absolutely fabulous property with amazing views. Well equipped, very comfortable beds and sofas, plenty of comfy and eating areas, lovely to have a few essential provided eg dishwasher tabs, washing machine tabs, washing up liquid, loo roll, bin bags, tea and coffee etc. There is a super walk down to the beach (and a rather more strenuous walk back up!) where there is a cafe and shop and toilets. We can strongly recommend this for a larger group, family or friends. Tips - bring a sleep mask if you are in the top room as the velux doesn't have a blind. Check the garage - there is equipment there eg wind breaks that we only found after we bought our own - silly us! We can't wait to return.
Peter
I do not understand where previous negative comments on this property came from. We loved the property and could not fault it.
Sandra
A fabulous property with views to die to from almost every room. Ideally located for cliff walks & beach.
Victoria
A beautiful house with amazing views. We had a wonderful holiday. Itâ??s easy to walk down to Porthtowan or over to Chapel Porth. Just need to improve the wet room drainageâ?¦
Sally

Martin
Great property. We really enjoyed our stay.
Claire
Amazing property, stunning views, well equipped, just a bit of a tricky access road to be mindful of
Mark
This property has it all. Loved the master suite and the views from the large window. The most amazing views from all windows. Great walks, beautiful beaches. Ate at Unicorn on the beach and had fish and chips from Porthtowan, delicious. Really an A1 5 star property.
Lisa
Absolutely gorgeous house. Location brilliant. Feels extremely remote yet 20 minutes drive to Truro. Breathe taking views of the coastline down to St. Ives. Two - very comfortable and airy sitting areas. All that you require to feel at home in a perfect sea views to die for location. Will definitely be back.
Raghavendra
Excellent home we loved it and have booked for nect year again. Lots of space for all the family. Views are to die for especially sun set. Few small things an upgraded tv would be lovely.
Catherine
We had a fantastic week at Tonga. The views are to die for the photos do not do it justice The house was very well equipped and we appreciated the tea and coffee etc left for us. Previous reviews had mentioned that the house was not clean and was somewhat shabby. We didnâ??t find this at all and were delighted with the accommodation. Itâ??s in a great location for anyone walking the coast path which we were and after a days walking the house was great to go back to
Susan
Fabulous location whatever the weather. Property would not feel cramped with 8 people, although we only had 4 in our party. Not sure you will find a better view when cooking! Would definitely return.
Oliver
Vor unserer Anreise haben wir, aufgrund schlechter Bewertungen, bei der Agentur/Eigentümer nachgefragt, ob diese stimmen! Der Eigentümer hat dies verneint! Leider haben sich einige Dinge bewahrheitet! Schimmel hinter der Badewanne und bei der Dusche teilweise auch bei den groÃ?flächigen Türen, Dachflächenfenster extrem verschmutzt Küche Ofen-Backrohr extrem verschmutzt WC Deckel im EG defekt Einfahrt zum Haus sehr steil "aufpassen" Die Lage und die Aussicht sind Top, aber aufgrund der Sauberkeit ist der Preis für das Haus viel zu teuer!
Karen
We had an amazing stay at Tonga. The view from the property is superb and really made the holiday for us. The property itself was clean, light and airy and had everything that we needed with lots of special touches. It was situated right next to the coastal path so ideal for walks. A truly fab holiday in a beautiful property.
Tracy
The Location of this property is excellent A*. Due to the lack of cleanliness and love lost on this property my Husband and I will unfortunately not be returning and will not recommend to family and friends.
Penny
Stunning location and comfortable & beautiful house. Great views and walks from property.
Richard
Tonga House has a amazing location with some incredible views of Porthtowan and the coastline. Access to the coastal path is great for walks to St Agnes. The house is spacious and was very warm for February! We loved sitting by the round window in the master bedroom on the chaise longue. The outside shower was brilliant after a swim in the cold winter sea. The welcome pack was much appreciated. We did find a lack of hanging space for wet gear and our wetsuits. The lighting in the kitchen space needs improving. Overall, we had a wonderful stay for my 60th birthday.
Christina
This is a perfect property for a family and friends with a dog.
Sarah
Lovely few days away with family. Great house with plenty of space. Fab fire place in downstairs lounge. Close to wonderful beach and views from house are incredible!
