Great Keppel Island Resort Whitsundays Queensland Australia

GREAT KEPPEL ISLAND RESORT

Great Keppel Island is a 3.5 star property situated off the Central Queensland Coast Australia, 15 kilometres across Keppel Bay from the town of Yeppoon; 55 kilometres from Rockhampton, the closest major city.

The Island is 43 kilometres in circumference, about 1400 hectares, and has 17 outstanding white sandy beaches, all safe for swimming; several with good coral and heaps of colourful fish just right for snorkelling. Ninety percent of the Island is bushland, with all businesses situated along Fisherman's Beach.

Great Keppel is the largest island of the Keppel Group, which consists of 14 islands offering excellent marine life and great spots for snorkelling and diving. Because of the central location of the Island, we enjoy a warm, sunny climate year-round.
The birdlife on the Island is varied from White-breasted Sea Eagles, Brahminy Kites, Ospreys to Pied Oystercatchers and Beach Curlews, to the Honeyeaters, Rainbow Bee-eaters, Pheasant Coucals, Friarbirds, and of, course, the lovely and very noisy Kookaburras and Rainbow Lorikeets! Brushtail Possums are quite numerous and the occasional Blue-tongue lizards and Goannas.

The resort itself offers great facilities including a pool, a small shop, numerous accommodation types and various restaurants. Great Keppel Island Resort is the major place to stay on the island.
