Edinburgh of the Seven Seas Tristan da Cunha Welcomes Visitors to its homes |
| Edinburgh is a small village, home to some seventy families who are all farmers, grazing their animals on communal pastures and cultivating crops, especially potatoes in walled patches using only hand tools. As a visitor you can become part of this traditional community by renting a guest house (catered or self-catering) or by staying in homes on a full board basis. | |
| Home Stays Full board accommodation is available in island homes at an inclusive rate of £40 per night including bed, threee meals and laundry. |
|
| Guest Houses There is a range of Government and private accommodation on Tristan. There are six Guest Houses available to rent on a catered or self-catered basis. Catered prices are in line with full board home stays, and self catered prices are £20 pppn plus utility charges. Children Under 12 qualify for a 50% discount; Under 2 years Free. Please note the Island's Government allots visitors to appropriate guest houses to ensure fairness. |

| Huts Islanders have huts (though many at The Patches are more like Guest Houses) around Tristan (at The Patches, The Caves, Stony Beach and Sandy Point) and on Nightingale Island. These can occasionally be used for overnight stays by visitors by special arrangement with owners during longer stays when expeditions may be organised. |
|
| Booking Accommodation All booking enquiries should be made by email to the Secretary to the Administrator who will advise options available during your stay and arrange a booking. |
|
| Privacy Tristan is a tiny community of under 300 islanders. Visitors are most welcome, indeed the hospitality of Tristan people is famous. Occasionally trust can be abused and islanders may well be shy and resentful to visitors who approach with a camera raised and whose purpose may appear to be to report to the outside world with very limited knowledge. |

Please note that whilst every effort has been made to make information of these pages accurate, the Government of Tristan da Cunha reserves the right to change local by-laws and charges. Visitors should check firm prices at the time of booking. |
