Solo Hideaway

GKI Hideaway is just that. Hidden away and not overly commercialised. Fabulous food at the restaurant and cafe and yummy cocktails. Mid week special was great, not too many people and the staff were all super welcoming and friendly.

Beautiful spot to relax and unwind

A beautiful, relaxing 3 day break. The perfect spot to unwind and not do much. The bistro meals were delicious and I highly recommend Kahuna massage whilst on the island. Such a beautiful, relaxing experience

Great keppel is an amazing place. Wonderful property close to the beach. Simple and pretty clean. Limited facilities in smaller rooms but enough to enjoy. Lots of activity options such as diving, paddle boarding and snorkelling. Be great to have a few more food options or a small grocery store
