Had the most amazing 3 days on Great Keppel Island. Stayed in a beachside cabin which had everything we needed. Gardens are beautiful & the views superb. Do yourself a favour and go experience this gorgeous island.

Great Keppel is one of those places you can't forget, you have to go back again and again and again. The Hideaway offers a beautiful island experience in a relax and unforgettable atmosphere. Live music, great food and comfortable houses. Recommended it 100%

Nice! Great staff. Everything you could want. Super relaxed, prices low, lots of cosy chairs, shelter, lawn eating locations and a great bbq and bar. Kid and pet friendly.

Modest but clean and suitable accommodation just a stones throw to the water. Great food at bistro and amazing outlook. Amazing snorkelling just from the beach. Crystal clean water makes for great swimming.
