The beauty of Bleaker Island



Bleaker Island is home to three species of penguin – Rockhopper, Magellanic and Gentoo – a large imperial cormorant colony, southern giant petrels, many smaller birds and a variety of waterfowl on the ponds. Here you may spot the rare flying steamer duck. Marine mammals are often observed offshore.
The settlement is situated in the middle of the island and still operates a sheep farm. Plenty of walking opportunities are available around the island including long sandy beaches with beautiful views. Listed as an 'Important Bird Area', the land north of the settlement is a designated national nature reserve.
Cobb's Cottage is a recently-built self-catering cottage offering cosy accommodation in the settlement.
