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

I didn’t have hot water the first day, but staff were very efficient to get that fixed….. My only complaint is the comfort of the bed I would give a 2/10 but every is different and some people prefer harder beds

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!

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.
