The Hideaway really has been beautifully done with the boardwalks everywhere and just surrounded by nature! Everyone was so helpful and friendly and great meals and great choices for kids to eat!!
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.

Relaxed vibe beautiful waters. Totally enjoyed a few days on the island. Sunsets were magical
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.
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!
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
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.
The time away was very relaxing. The room was great for the price.
