Monowai Heights

We travel to Cornwall a few times a year, it’s our favour place to relax.

We really appreciated the garden we loved the fresh air and the wonderful view. We actually spent most of our time out there as our week was wall to wall sunshine. Unfortunately, we would not return here as the mattress in the main bedroom (patio doors) was not fit for purpose, a real shame and quite upsetting/frustrating. We had poor sleep all week and our aches and pains were aggravated. It was like a student accommodation mattress you could feel all the springs and very wobbly for 2 adults. On booking we assumed there would be a high quality mattress to match an apartment of this standard. Extremely disappointing.

The apartment was lovely, fantastic location, views and facilities.

A great stay.

An extremely lovely apartment with wonderful views.

Comfortable beds, fluffy towels, lots of hot water and nice and warm. Apartment is well equipped, modern appliances and hi spec tv Great to be so close to the train station and the beach and an easy walk to St Ives along the costal path Would certainly love to return

The apartment is fantastic, beautiful and tastefully decorated, and the outdoor terrace is a real treat.

The house has everything you might need. The location, with the views, close to the beach and the train station with connections to St Ives every 30 minutes, is perfect.

The property was excellent and contains all you need for your holiday.

We appreciated the extremly well equipped and cleaned apartment.

We would love to revisit as the accommodation is 10/10.

However the sofas, the conservatory seats and garden seating are very large, deep and low. This is a little challenging to be comfortable unless numerous cushions are used, of which there are plenty so we managed, but an area that could be reviewed by the owners/rental company for those with less mobility.

Love this place.

This was our 2nd visit. The only negative is the uncomfy mattresses which are really hard. Apart from that the place is beautiful with the best views. Such a well equipped apartment.

The bed is extremely uncomfortable (room with patio door), the mattress needs replacing because it really spoils the holiday.

I wouldn’t rebook here if this wasn’t addressed. In very heavy rain the doors at the back leak. We had to put towels down in two places to soak up the water. I would recommend providing a clothes airer and fans for the bedrooms.

Views are excellent.

The property was clean and well equipped. Some entries in comments book mentioned welcome pack not for us. Parking real problem had to ask for vehicles to be moved twice so we could get into are car even though we parked very close to wall. Soft Furnishings really uncomfortable for us I'm afraid .

A beautifully maintained, well equipped and clean apartment.

It is in a great quiet location with an outstanding view across the bay to St Ives. As with most properties in the St Ives/Carbis Bay area, you cannot avoid steep hills to get to anywhere. The only criticism of the property is that the mattresses are hard. Several other vsitiors have commented on this in the visitor book and in other online reviews.

Monowai Heights is probably one of the best apartments we have stayed in - superb location and outlook, stylish, modern comfortable furniture, top quality kitchen appliances and an extensive range of kitchenalia - all 5 star.

But the detailed folder of information needs updating as do the instructions for getting to the apartment which led to some frustrations during our stay. However, this is certainly a very good base for a Cornish holiday.

Every facility possible had been catered for.

we could not have wished for more. Thank you for sharing this lovely place with us.

Everything excellent and as described.

All needs catered for. Beautiful setting. Only slight negative/preference bath towels not luxurious and need to be bath sheet to be able to wrap around in comfort. Would highly recommend this property.

A very well appointed apartment with excellent views.

The apartment had almost everything we wanted. The only thing that could have improved the facilities would be some drawers in the bedroom for underwear etc. Parking would have been very tight if all 6 spaces were occupied. Fortunately only 3 were during our visit. Really enjoyed the easy access to the railway and bus services.

Beautiful apartment well equipped and comfy.

Had family over from Australia who we took with us they also said what a lovely place. Beautiful views and walks to rear of property very luck I found this place hope to return in the future. Sea gulls bit of a pain out on garden furniture but not the owners fault I managed to get most poo off with a clean also BBQ not usable but that’s not a real issue. Would recommend a visit

We had a lovely week at Monowai.

Super apartment.

A truly beautiful property and a wonderful location.

It was perfect. Thank you.

We had a wonderful time, great apartment, great location, but the beds were so hard.

We couldn't sleep well and it was very uncomfortable. Also the ventilation is not so good in the bathrooms. What a pity for such a great apartment.

A fantastic apartment, great location.

The only observation I have, and this was noted by a previous guest in the feedback book at the property, the beds are too hard. I was not able to get a good night's sleep and often woke with backache. I would suggest that mattress toppers be fitted to both beds. If this is done guests can remove the topper is they find they want a harder mattress. I would urge the owners to consider this as this is the only thing that would prevent me from booking this apartment again.

We had a very enjoyable stay at this property and were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived.

The apartment is decorated to a high standard and equipped with literally everything that you could possibly need for a beach holiday. The view from the back is absolutely amazing and the highlight for me. Carbis Bay is a beautiful base as it's quieter, away from the hustle and bustle of St ives with a beautiful beach. The apartment is around 3-5 min walk from the train station where you can jump on a train to st ives, it takes 3 mins on the train. I would highly recommend this apartment!

Everything was wonderful especially the fabulous view Only comments to make is the mattresses were extremely hard could really do with toppers Thank you for a marvellous holiday xxx

Wonderful property, very spacious modern living/dining/kitchen area, very well appointed, cannot fault it.

Bedrooms are small in comparison, but both en-suite showers. Some arrival issues encountered, but very promptly sorted by Carbis Bay hols, even on a bank holiday, thank you so much! Very limited TV access, which may or may not be important, but if there is bad weather or children present might be an issue. The inside and outside sea view bi-fold doors really need identifying as to which are openable or not with instructions, only the left hand doors to the patio open, which were very stiff, no details in introduction booklet. Only found this out from the lovely lady who sorted out our arrival issues. Very quiet property day and night, storms passed by without us noticing! Outside space very lovely too. Parking could possibly be tight at times. Would certainly consider returning to this property, but there is a lot of competition in the area.

Glorious views and a lovely clean and comfortable apartment - wish we could stay longer!

We have stayed in the property next door but will be back here next time!

This is a wonderful place to spend a relaxing holiday, Wonderful views and the apartment is very comfortable and well equipped.

Watching the changing tides is very relaxing and makes me realise how much I miss the sea.

Fabulous apartment, wonderful views, comfortable beds.

Lots of hot water and everything you need for a relaxing stay. We will be back!

Would definitely stay here again!

Enjoyed our week here despite the grey skies. Lovely apartment complete with fabulous views. Found the beds very comfortable despite the negative feedback.

Beautiful apartment, spotless and very comfortable.

Thank you for the fizz on arrival. Very comfortable bed. Thew views are to die for. Everything provided for the perfect stay. Definitely stay again.
