Convenient location not far from home, I would say paradise just a small boat trip away. Very short walk to beach. Awesome for family with kids and couples romantic getaway paradise.

Thankfully we were upgraded to an Island Cabin, as the Garden Cabins were very basic and had no crockery/cutlery or useable outdoor space -- they were essentially a trailer. In contrast the Island Cabins had a large covered porch and kitchenette, which was lovely for breakfast. The cabin was a tad tired and could do with updating, but it was comfortable and would work well for a relaxed family vacation. The gardens were lush and well maintained, and the beach is terrific -- white sands and clear calm waters.

The location could not have been better. The ocean was spectacular. Beautiful greens and blues and you could see right to the bottom it was so clear. Beaches were beautiful. The walks were great and the scenery on the walks made it worth it. Food was delicious, possibly influenced by all the lovely walks working up our appetite.

The dinner menu was very expensive. There were very little options for self catering, so what was going to be a reasonably priced holiday got out of hand pretty quickly, because the food options were limited and expensive. 3 star holiday resort ended up at 5 star prices.
Great location. Friendly staff and guests, warm family atmosphere

“Great Keppel Island is great - visit - but find somewhere else to stay.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 4 nights
I booked and paid for a triple room as I was staying with my daughter and required two beds. On arrival we were told that we could have the room for 3 nights and on the fourth we would be moved to a room with one bed and a mattress on the floor - no discount. Fortunately when we went to arrange for the changeover we were told that there had been a cancellation and that we could keep our room. The room itself was very small for two people. There was very little space for storing clothes, hanging bath towels, beach towels, swimmers, rash vests, etcetera. Even a few hooks or shelves on the walls would help. No chairs in the room. Only one plastic chair outside the building we were in which could fit 3 in our room and 4 in the next door room. Nowhere to sit and eat or relax either in the room or in the area outside. Totally inadequate. On the first night we found that the water from the shower was only a trickle. We were able to get the showerhead changed and were told that this often happens as the bore water clogs the holes. Ok, in which case I would expect the staff to regularly check that the showers are operational and not require guests to chase up maintenance.
Great Keppel Island is wonderful - very beautiful, relaxing, great weather, warm water. We had a wonderful time kayaking, snorkelling, walking and diving. Highly recommended as a great place to relax and unwind with various activity options.
