Review

Our preferred estancia on the Peninsular, the Estancia Rincon Chico is a great place to get a feel for what it is all about, coming to this area of the world. The focus here is on privacy and intimate views of the wildlife of this beautiful area. Making use of their private beach and large property, it is the perfect place to come and see wildlife and spend some time out in this windswept wilderness.

Set slightly inland from the coast, the Estancia Rincon Chico is the only estancia on the Peninsula that does not accept outside visitors and is all the better for it. This small estancia has really tried to raise the level of the accommodation and communal areas to cater for tourism and what it is to be in this spectacular and rugged scenery.

The rooms, while simple (as is the norm for estancia accommodation), are well appointed and are just about big enough. The communal areas are fantastic and feel really like being at home with comfortable sofas and a small fire…just what is needed after a long walk or day out on the peninsular.

The Estancia Rincon Chico has tried hard to try and create a place that appeals to all types of traveller with a series of walking trails across their land for keen walkers, mountain biking circuits and horse riding nearby. For those with families then there is also a small cottage that is set on the only disabled access beach on the island that has two rooms and views from your bed to elephant seals out on the beach in front! Needless to say, we are big fans!

Great ambience, good location, access to easy beach, good food, great activities, access to scientists

    Estancia La Elvira

    Estancia La Elvira

    Small and well-located, Estancia La Elvira is a really great example of a traditional, working farm and, located close to some of the best orca hunting areas, it offers a great opportunity to see plenty of good wildlife. The Estancia itself is fairly simple inside (as are most of the working... More...

    Faro Punta Delgada - Wildlife

    Faro Punta Delgada

    The largest of the three estancias based on the Peninsular Valdes, the Faro Punta Delgada, an ex lighthouse base and training ground for the army, still works, more or less as a sheep farm. The restaurant itself is fairly large and has good views out across the plains. Moreover, due to their... More...

    Hotel Peninsula Valdes

    Hotel Peninsula Valdes

    The Hotel Peninsula Valdes is a fairly simple but clean and tidy hotel located in the heart of down town Puerto Madryn and so, if you are after a bit of nightlife or just fancy getting to know the town a little, then it is a good choice. The rooms themselves are basic affairs, as is the restaurant... More...

    The Rayentray Hotel

    The Rayentray Hotel

    Dominating the skyline of Puerto Madryn, the Rayentray Hotel is the “only 5 star hotel” that is on offer and, on paper, promises a lot. Completed in 2008 to a fanfare of fireworks, the hotel has never really gotten off the ground with the pool, spa and one or two other things to be built. The rooms... More...

    Solar de la Costa - Bedroom

    Solar de la Costa

    A small and friendly hotel on the way out of town, the Solar de la Costa is a budget option in the area. Established for quite a few years now, we would suggest that the interiors could do with a bit of a facelift, but it is well positioned and just back from the front which allows for good views...

    The Tolosa Hotel - Restaurant

    The Tolosa Hotel

    Located in the centre of town, about 3 blocks back from the waterfront, the Tolosa Hotel is a fairly non descript in our opinion. The rooms are fine and it is definitely worth opting for the Superiors rather than the Standard, but they are very unexciting with the colour palette basically being... More...
