Great Keppel Island Holiday Village

Our family recently enjoyed 5 wonderful days glamping at Geoff's Holiday Village on Great Keppel Island. Managers Susie and Nathan are amazing, they made us all so welcome. 🥰 Comfy and clean double bed tents, big kitchen with lots of freezer space for all our food. And so many Island trails and beaches and snorkelling gear provided. We got to swim amongst the coral with giant turtles. Can't wait to return. Thank you for hosting us, the Chalmers gang of 8 😊

The clamping tent was spacious comfortable and set amongst tropical garden. Facilities easy to use. Walking distance to beautiful beaches marine life amazing. Staff at great keppel village were just great!

Accommodation is basic but that is all you need - very clean and tidy. So relaxing to be able to have a meal and drinks whilst drinking in the ocean vista. Snorkeling wasn't that great but there had been rain the previous week so water was a bit murky due to this event.

We stayed here for two nights and absolutely loved it! The current manager (I think they rotate every few months) is so warm & welcoming - she would have to be the “star” of the show at the holiday village! There’s a kitchen so you can cook all your food on site, free snorkel gear and the overall vibe is calm & friendly. Highly recommend!!

Lovely eco village tucked away on GKI. Lovely welcome by both Ben and Rach - very personal (thank you). We stayed in a cabin which had ‘everything you need and nothing you don’t’. The communal area included hammocks and a fire-pit where guests and hosts gathered at night to chat. Laid back vibe - perfect spot to explore the island. Close to other facilities if you wanted to grab some lunch or dinner. Personally, I liked the no smoking, low alcohol, guidance - it was a very peaceful and friendly place to be. I wish we could have stayed for a few more days as we only scratched the surface of the island’s walks and beaches.

This is the most beautiful island I think I've ever seen. We relaxed, snorkeled, and fished. The sun sets are absolutely unbelievable. Water is very calm and warm enough to get in during winter with a beautiful backdrop of mountains from the mainland. The resort village has a very chill and easy going vibe. We made some friends and will definitely be back. This is the type of island that is hard to find back in the States ie low key and not overrun with tourists, enjoy it while you can! This is our first visit from the USA and can't believe we got to spend time on this precious gem of an island.

Great location and everything you need to enjoy the beauty of the island.

Lovely place to chill and relax - definitely more suited to young people/families - not somewhere for older people or anyone with disabilities. It is looking a little tired and in need of an upgrade - to be expected after the neglect that would have occurred during the Covid outbreaks. Staff were, on the whole, lovely and very friendly - seemed to be mainly foreign backpackers and it's good to see them back in Australia enjoying what we have to offer. Food/drinks - had everything that you needed.

We absolutely loved everything about our stay at GKI Holiday Village! It is so chilled and a perfect way to relax if in need for some "you time". There are a few different options for accommodation. We chose Glamping and it was lovely. It's not luxurious or glamorous (the bed was fantastic though!), but basic and real down to earth. You are surrounded by starry skies, the sound of birds, lizards and other creatures. Not to forget the stunning beaches! Great for snorkeling, hiking or just doing absolutely nothing. Personally I thought it was a nice touch that after 9:30pm, everybody was expected to be quite. So if you wanted to hang out with old friends or new acquaintances, you'd kindly be asked to go down to the beach (2 minutes away, so no big deal - and fantastic skies!). In return, the early risers were also expected to be considerate of those who wanted to sleep in. And it worked! Peaceful all around. The vibe is really just fantastic and we met the most wonderful people from all over the world during our 3 night stay - including the managers, Anthony and Jeppe. You just couldn't help being happy around them. They couldn't have been kinder, more helpful, friendlier or more present during our stay. I'd go back just for them! So to sum it up - Tranquil, peaceful, friendly and beautiful surroundings. I really can't praise this place high enough.
