Great Keppel Island Holiday Village

Fodor's Review:

Tucked in among the welcome shade of gum trees is this modest, quiet alternative for couples and older travelers looking to get back to basics without a party scene. The village centers around a large reception hall where you can buy island maps, arrange tours, pick up snorkeling gear, and meet other guests. Varied accommodation includes two solar-powered, self-contained family houses, two cabins that suit couples or close foursomes, twin and double rooms in the main lodge; four- and six-bed dorms, and tents with wood floors, twin or double beds, lights, and chairs. There's a well-equipped communal kitchen, and barbecues for cooking out. You can hike, take a canoe or kayak tour of the island for A$35-A$40, or flop on one of the island's 17 beaches.
