Keppel Village Retreat
At my Great Keppel Island Holiday Village, I am daring to be different.
The emphasis is on quietness, bush walking, snorkelling and the art of doing nothing.
I am choosing to offer you a peaceful, non-smoking, low alcohol environment.
Looking forward to seeing you, Geoff Mercer.
As the owner I leave the day to day running of the village to my managers. We have as well a group of 4-6 volunteers at any time. We treat our staff with the same respect as our guests, and often have guests ask to volunteer with us as well.

There aren't enough words to describe how amazing our time on the camping with Katie , Tim and the other volunteers has been. They made sure that our experience was a once in a lifetime. We leave with friends and memories for life. ❤️

My first Worldpacker experience and I couldn't be more happy! It was everything I was expecting and more ! I had the opportunity to meet the most amazing people both tourists and volunteers. The work load match perfectly with the description and I find it fair for what we got back as volunteers. If you are looking to escape form the traditional Aussie backpacking routes and you want to live a true island experience this place is absolutely perfect !!!

My stay at the camping has been the camping! A beautiful place to rest and recharge. Geoff and the managers were super lovely and welcoming, organising regular staff dinners and group outings (including fishing missions!). The work is totally fair for the time off you get to spend on the beautiful island, with a mixture of housekeeping and gardening, and the managers were open to any extra projects you wanted to suggest too! Will really miss the place. Thanks for having me guys! (And letting me run wild with art projects!)

GKI felt like finding a second family! 🌴 The managers & volunteers are amazing. Work is a chill 3hrs/day, leaving heaps of time for snorkeling with my GoPro or sunset hikes (pro tip: wear trail shoes, but stay barefoot otherwise! 🦶). My glamping tent was so cozy and the kitchen has everything. Food logistics are tricky on an island, so bringing protein powder might be a good idea! But the calming vibe is something everyone needs to experience. Truly special!!
Feel free to ask if you need more tips! 😊
