Fantastic relaxing stay, the A-frame was very spacious with character. Sitting outside on the patio for breakfast was beautiful. The staff helpful and friendly, Great place to watch magical sunsets. We all had a very enjoyable time and will be back soon!

Buffet breakfast was fantastic and when you can sit outside to eat it overlooking the beach what more can you ask.

Andrew, United Kingdom

The common areas were great, the bistro etc. as the pictures show. The beach was fantastic and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was well priced and tasty, as were the drinks.

Sara, United Kingdom

Excellant resort - fantastic friendly staff , super clean property and awesome food

Janine, New Zealand

We were in an Island view cabin, we looked out the window and this exactly what we saw - beach, ocean and Middle Island. There was a patio on the front and a deck on the back with tables and chairs. The ladies at check in arranged for a table to be decorated and a sign put up for my Mum's birthday dinner. It made her feel very special. All the staff were friendly. The meals at the pub restaurant were lovely.

Renee, Australia

Great place for a couple of nights to unwind without radio or TV. Beautiful views from beachside cabins.

“Island is beautiful - would stay elsewhere next time”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Bungalow - Beach Front
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Resort needs to lift their game or lower prices to match current standard offered to guests. New management appear to be in over their heads & staff are in dire need of professional leadership, beginning with standard of personal presentation. Guys driving around shirtless, receptionist with wet hair (someone shout her a hairdryer). Completely ignored by 4 staff milling behind cafe counter. This would all be fine if the resort wasn't charging $230-270 night for a beachfront cabin (including free wake-up at 8am by bulldozer working 4m away or your water being turned off without notice). Would rather support the competition next time. Keppel Island is a beautiful place, but this resort is on borrowed time if it continues to operate as is. We also recommend Freedom Fast Cats - we chose this ferry service because they didn't need to bag the competition to secure our business & were an obvious choice with potential for bird's eye view whale spotting.

눉Where do I start! The first issue we had was trying to find our room. We were given a map and the receptionist did her best to get us there but it was still very confusing. We had to ask for directions again. The room was clean but the windows were jammed closed which would have been a serious problem for me if we had stayed longer then a night. My parents had a room that had no windows and no ceiling fan. My mum felt very claustrophobic. We could hear the people in the next room like they were in our room with us. The shower pressure was minimumal and we had to use the hand soap as it we were not supplied any cakes of soap. There was a sewage smell across parts of the accommodation. The staff were all foreign which was disappointing. The first cocktail I ordered from a really unhappy American girl who started my order and then left it for someone else to finish. The cocktail was terrible. On another occasion girl asked me three times what I was asking for which was a 'stubby of Gold'.
눇Keppel has gorgeous white sand and beautiful clear water. The views across the ocean from the Hideaway are stunning.

“Don't stay in the garden cabins and you will have a great time.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉The photos of the cabin we stayed in are not in the gallery. For good reason. They were mouldy, the walls were as thin as paper with no view of anything (garden included). Could hear everything people in the next room were saying and doing, because the cabin has been split down the middle. And on Sunday afternoon the toilet paper was not replaced in the toilets near the restaurant until Monday morning. We didn't realise that our bags could have been driven up to reception or somewhere nearer the cabin. Not sure why we weren't told, bit of a pain.
눇The common areas were great, the bistro etc. as the pictures show. The beach was fantastic and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was well priced and tasty, as were the drinks.

“Island getaway”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Cabin
- • Stayed 1 night
눉For a self contained cabin - maybe a few more dishes. Otherwise, I loved it. We had a lot of trouble keeping the water from going everywhere in the bathroom, during a shower, as there is no barrier at the bottom and there is only a shower curtain. Not a huge problem though.
눇We were in an Island view cabin, we looked out the window and this exactly what we saw - beach, ocean and Middle Island. There was a patio on the front and a deck on the back with tables and chairs.

“Get wrecked on Great Keppel!!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Cabin
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉I wanted a bucket outside the door so we could wash the sand off our feet. It was a shame that the a/c only cooled the main bedroom & not the living area where the kids beds were but we were thankful for the pedestal fan. Extra floor mats in shower would have been great because shower in our cabin did not drain back to floor waste. I am not criticizing I am only suggesting what would make your guests stay the best cause we thoroughly enjoyed our time on the island.
눇Loved our cabin 1 back from the beach. When we go again I think I will ask for that particular cabin. I will not tell you the number so I can get it next time --lol!!
