The Rookery Inn is the only visitor accommodation on Saunders Island, a privately owned sheep farm in the Falklands run by the same family for generations, home to some of the archipelago’s largest seabird colonies.
Simple, self-catering accommodation run by the island’s farming family, functional rather than luxurious.
Self-catering facilities, with supplies typically brought by visitors or arranged in advance with the island’s owners.
Walks to the island’s seabird colonies, including rockhopper penguin, king penguin, and black-browed albatross nesting sites.
Saunders Island holds one of the Falklands’ most diverse seabird colonies, with four penguin species and a significant black-browed albatross colony nesting side by side.
The close proximity of four different penguin species nesting on one beach is a rare composition opportunity found in very few other locations worldwide.
The island’s owners manage grazing and visitor access to protect the long-term health of its internationally significant seabird colonies.
