Great Keppel Island Holiday Village

6 sites · Tents10 acres · The Keppels, QLD

After being on Great Keppel Island for over 20 years, our desire is to offer you a holiday with a difference in a down-to-earth and friendly environment. We are daring to be different. The emphasis is on quietness, bush walking, snorkelling and the art of doing nothing. I am choosing to offer you a peaceful, non-smoking, low alcohol environment. Great Keppel Island Holiday Village is nestled in palm and gum trees less than a minute’s walk to two beautiful white sand beaches. Our accommodation is simple and basic; yet comfortable and cosy, giving you a feeling of being away from the fast pace and worries of the world. The atmosphere of our eco-friendly Holiday Village is what you would expect on an island – going back to a simpler time of low-key, relaxing and lazy days either on the beach or in a hammock; a bushwalk on tracks to deserted beaches; swimming and snorkelling; or maybe a motorised canoe trip to surrounding areas. And then there are the sunsets. A true private “island in the sun” experience. So come along – make some good friends while you play, relax, and appreciate the serenity and peacefulness of Great Keppel Island and our Holiday Village.
