Sustainability Policy
A great asset of the Falkland Islands is that its environment is relatively pure and unpolluted.
Darwin House recognises its responsibility to respect the environment and is committed to achieving environmental best practices as a team, where practically possible throughout its business activity.
We continually seek ways to conserve and protect natural resources, to minimise the wastage of raw materials and energy, whilst providing a consistent and quality product and service to our guests.
We conduct internal environmental reviews and annually assess our progress towards improved environmental performance and revise as necessary.
Our customers and guests are made aware of our sustainability policy and to give them the option to help us achieve it.

Dine at the Lodge
Our delicious food is home-cooked and is available to pre-order to guests who are booked in the lodge.
Traditionally we have done smokos to visitors looking around the area for a day. At the moment we don't have a drop-in facility for a coffee or food like previously but keep an eye out on our Facebook page for updates.
The Veteran Medal
Dotted around the lodge there are some interesting artifacts left. In the bar, there is even a South Atlantic Medal which was awarded to a British veteran from the 1982 Falklands War.
The veteran who wishes to remain anonymous has kindly allowed us to display his medal but under the understanding that should he wish it back we will return it immediately.
