3 International Tours & Travel Ltd DARWIN HOUSE Darwin House has recently been refurbished to a very high standard and offers the facilities expected of a modern lodge. All rooms at Darwin House now are en-suite providing spacious comfortable rooms with all the modern conveniences expected by today s travellers. If you are thinking of a romantic weekend or simply need somewhere to get away to relax why not book into one of the two rooms offering the option of shower or jacuzzi baths. The newly appointed managers Lorraine Campbell and Al Pluckrose along with Elena and Aleks provide a warm welcome to the lodge. Lorraine and Al had the good fortune to be posted as part of their roles in the Royal Air force to Mount Pleasant Complex for 16 months in They fell in love with the Falklands and loved island life so much that they recently left their home in Spain to return to the Falklands as the new Darwin House Management Couple. Full afternoon teas and fabulous smoko s have long been a Darwin House speciality. Now you can enjoy the delicious food in one of two beautifully furnished rooms with scenic views over the harbour. Additionally, Darwin House can cater for lunches, evening meals and even special functions. Eileen Davies is now offering an interesting range of tours from Darwin House including the off-the-beaten track tour to Hope Pace, founded in 1847 on the edge of Brenton Loch and overlooked by Mount Usborne. Sadly, the settlement was short-lived as, for a variety of reasons, it was considered to be an unsuitable location, and in 1859 the settlement moved to Darwin Harbour. All that remains of the settlement are a few scenic stone ruins that provide a valuable insight into how the early settlers lived and the difficulties they encountered in this beautiful but harsh environment.
