to get started.

Loved everything about Holiday Village! Wasn’t exactly sure what to expect other than we knew we booked a tent. Ian “Good-o” (the manager) met us as we got off the ferry and from that moment forward, went above and beyond to ensure we were enjoying ourselves and feeling taken care of. The bed in the tent was super comfy and the chairs / table on the private deck area in front of the tent was perfect. The facilities were remarkably clean, and the self-catering kitchen very well-equipped. We allotted ourselves only 1 night on GKI but wish we had stayed longer. Holiday Village was an excellent choice, and Goodo made it fantastic!

Geoff is very welcoming and tells you how things are honestly. His place is run very low key and is very relaxing. We loved the yellow and white striped chairs on the verandah of our Bungalow.

Susan

Waking to the cacophonous sound of curlews and myriad other birds was an amazing experience. We loved our open breezy tent, the deck, the pristine beaches, the sunsets, the privacy and the unstructured time to rest, talk, read and relax. Not for spa, jet ski and breakfast buffet expectations, but for those who truly love sand, sea, sky, serenity and a bit of solitude. Pack a cooler for the huge fridge and freezer and plan your meals. Swim, snorkel, read, nap, cook, eat, walk the trails, build sandcastles, take photos, write and ruminate. Discover new things about the island, the ecosystem and yourself. Interesting international fellow glampers come and go. Great personable staff work tirelessly to help you live into the island experience you dreamed of and came for. I was struggling with a ligament tear, and Godot (spelling) managed to make everything accessible and comfortable. Go. Give Great Keppel a few nights or weeks to work its magic! Holiday Village, we will be back!

I wasn't aware there was camping available too as that wasn't listed on booking.com, would have been a better option for us as we thought we had to leave our gear behind.
Absolutely amazing location and very cool host. Geoff was welcoming and easy going, we loved our stay here and wish we planned to stay for longer. Perfect for budget travellers as you can BYO food and drinks, use the excellent kitchen to prep your meals and picnic on the beach, or take a beer down to watch the sunset.

My room was freezing cold during the night (Juli, windows closed of course), thicker duvets would be nice during the winter. When I arrived, I had to get rid of at least 15 mosquitos in my room. Screen doors would help. Geoff, the owner, told me that he almost gave my room to somebody else as he couldn't find me when he wanted to pick me up from the ferry. Nobody told me that somebody would pick me up and I arrived in the dark...so I missed him and walked to the accomodation instead. It is it a bit weird that he wanted to give my room away especially since I had already paid the full amount before my arrival. I also informed my host about my estimated time of arrival via booking.com and I was still on time!
Very clean, well equipped kitchen, nice garden, close to the beach. You can also rent snorkeling equipment and wet suits. Great keppel island is a beautiful little gem...I loved it!

Nothing to complain about. the nearby restaurants are pricey so it would be nice if they stocked a few instant meal items such as noodles.
Close to beach but sheltered from the wind. Excellent well equipped communal kitchen. Tents were comfortable and cool with a roomy deck and comfy chairs. Lovely hot showers. Staff were very helpful.
