Our stay was filled with stunning natural beauty and friendly service, making for a memorable experience. The island's views were breathtaking, and snorkeling was delightful. However, the accommodation fell short due to its basic setup and cleanliness issues, and some dining options were less than ideal, impacting the overall value for money.

We had a fantastic time on our day trip to the island, but there were some challenges. The boat ride was comfortable, and the island was beautiful, but the accessibility could be better. While we enjoyed our time exploring, it was frustrating to deal with slow service and incorrect food orders at the restaurant. But overall, the experience of the island's beauty made it worthwhile.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the resort, as the picturesque setting right on the beach allowed for a truly relaxing experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but some accommodations could use updates. While I appreciated the good food at the bar/bistro, service could be improved. It's unfortunate that the state of the island's beauty has diminished, affecting the ambience a bit. Nonetheless, I'll be keen to return and explore more of what this area has to offer.

Our stay was truly memorable, with a breathtaking beachfront location and a range of activities that catered to our family. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, which enhanced our overall experience. While the food options were somewhat limited and not particularly varied, the live music and atmosphere added a nice touch to our evenings. Overall, a solid choice for families looking for adventure and relaxation.

We stayed in a cabin that provided a comfortable setup for our family of five, but we could have used more home comforts like a broom to sweep up sand and a TV for the kids after long beach days. The tiny bathroom felt a bit cramped.

The location is phenomenal, right next to the beach with stunning views. It's great for bushwalks and swimming, although the presence of flies at mealtimes was a bit of a nuisance.

We chose Great Keppel Island Hideaway for our wedding, and it truly was a dream come true! The stunning location by the beach offered beautiful scenery, and the wedding coordinator, Amy, was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. However, we were a bit disappointed with some aspects of our stay, particularly the cleanliness of the room which detracted from an otherwise lovely experience.
