I didnt like the long walk around to the cabin due to the construction going on but other than that it was a very pleasant stay. It would be nicer to have another option for somewhere to eat also as the food was below average and overly priced.

Beautiful beaches disappointing walking tracks

The accommodation was basic but clean, the coastal island was stunningly beautiful but we weren’t advised of the large deconstruction work being carried out so any hiking excursion was out of the question.

Okay for What you pay but it is not tired it is exhausted Crying out for money to be spent on it. Paying good wages to keep good people. Reliance on backpackers means you lose experienced staff every 3 months. Exhausting for management to maintain cohesion

We had a most relaxing and tranquil 4 days at Great Keppel Hideaway. Our comfortable studio was situated amongst some lovely trees and tropical shrubs. Also, the staff arranged for our luggage to be transported on and off the ferry. We'd love to come back!
