Great Keppel Island Holiday Village
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.

Like hitting the Worldpackers jackpot! Could not have had a better experience at Great Keppel Holiday Village. The work was exactly as agreed upon and the accommodations are great. There are endless places to explore and things to do, but above all else the people make this experience. Truly a perfect find!

I had such a good experience at the village on great keppel island. You are well looked after by the lovely Anthony and Jeppe who manage the village. The work is very reasonable and the guests and other volunteers are great. The island is an incredibly beautiful and special place, nothing quite like it!

I loved my stay on Great Keppel Island! Everybody was so kind and I felt very welcome. The work is totally worth for what you get in return. Would definitely recommend to stay there a while to discover all of the island‘s beauty 😍

This was an amazing island idyll and Geoff’s holiday village has created a genuinely laid back, calm and fun vibe. Jeppe & Anthony are great managers. Theo can fix literally anything.
I felt honoured to meet so many lovely people who were great fun to work beside and also relax. Hopefully some lifelong contacts have been made.

Just a piece of paradise. So beautiful and peaceful…The work was pretty easy (2/3 hours per day) and all the volunteers were just lovely. I enjoyed a lot this island : snorkeling, swimming, hiking…or even just a chill day in the village. I have made some great friends thanks to this volunteering. I recommend 100%!
