• Great Keppel Island Holiday Village
  "Holiday Village, a great place to stay"
  "We have just spent 9 days at Great Keppel Holiday Village and had an awesome time. The weather was sensational, the beaches are some of the best we have seen. The accommodation was simple but very comfortable and relaxed. The facilities were terrific and Geoff and his staff could not do enough to ..."make our stay more enjoyable. We are from Melbourne and we found the coral reefs to be snorkelling paradise. We swam, snorkelled, kayaked and went on many walks. We have now swum with turtles which was really special. The late afternoon boat tour of the island with Geoff was a real highlight. Thanks again Geoff and all the workers for making our holiday really special. We will watch with great interest how things unfold on Great Keppel in the coming years. The island has got such a friendly feel at the moment. Hoping this remains forever! Stephen and Marie " More >

  "Beautiful island"
  "Great Keppel Island is a peaceful, bushy island retreat living in the shadow of the old and decaying resort. Obviously the island has seen more prosperous days and its hard to see the resort ever opening again despite the plans - for better or worse. There is a restaurant/bar at the northern end..." of the main beach which we did not eat at but has an envious beach aspect. There are no food shops available (only very basic staples) so you need to bring all your own food. There are great kitchen facilities available though at both the house or the main part of the resort. The beaches here are truly excellent with fine white sand and clear clear water. And with a small effort you can find a whole beach to yourself. We stayed in the larger house which is set apart from the rest of the village at the southern end of the beach. The house is rustic, comfortable and functional with a pleasant outdoor BBQ area and located within a stones throw of the high tide mark. Telstra 3G and O... " More >
• Keppel Haven
  "Keppel Haven is a pearl in the very beautiful but sad and run down Great Keppel Island."
  "We had not been to Great Keppel Island for 18 years. We had wonderful memories of a relaxing resort and of swimming off beautiful sandy beaches to snorkel over coral teaming with coloured fish. So, passing through Rockhampton, we took the day ferry trip from Yeppoon to Great Keppel Island (30 minute..."s each way). The island was as beautiful as we had remembered but the resort has closed and is boarded up. As a result, other businesses on the island are struggling. It has never been a huge tourist island, which is a major attraction for those turned off by glitzty resort islands. After getting off the ferry onto the beach, we first stopped at The Rainbow Hut for coffee and directions but the owner seemed reluctant to give us either. So we walked further along to find Keppel Haven Reef Bar and Bistro. Like many businesses, Keppel Haven is struggling with the closure of the resort. But the location and hospitality is great. Not only did we get coffee with a smile but also a summary of wha... " More >
