Make sure you check out the heritage listed old Homestead on your next visit to Great Keppel Island. It was built close to 100 years ago and was occupied by Lizzie Leeke and her husband Michael O’Neill and later Ralph Leeke. Lizzie ran sheep on the island until 1945.

Due to a change in advice on the Queensland Government Covid19 mandate a limited number of accommodation rooms are now available for the Christmas/New Year period.
The Queensland Government has now advised that you DON’T need to be fully vaccinated to stay in our accommodation but you WILL need to be vaccinated to dine or drink in the Hideaway Bar/Bistro – if you are not fully vaccinated you will still be able to be served at the Bar/Bistro as normal but you will need to take your food ...
