I had the best time at the guest house! Craig was the best host, he was kind and was always really fair with the hours we worked for. The hours were flexible which meant i could enjoy either the morning or afternoon off! I had plenty of time to enjoy the beaches and explore more of the island. Craig took us on trips to see more of the island including a trip on his boat! Where we got to snorkel and see the reef! This was genuinely the best experience and i couldn't have asked for a better host😁

I had the best experience at the guest house! I did social media and work on the website. The hours were flexible and fair. I had plenty of time to explore the beautiful Keppel island in the afternoons and early mornings. Craig was an incredible host! He brought us out on the boat around the island to go snorkeling and fishing which was a dream come true on the great barrier reef! He was also so warm and welcoming and invited me to dinners with the locals which were yummy! He also cooks the most phenomenal reef fish! I also had a private room with the comfiest bed. So grateful for amazing time

I had an incredible time staying at the guest house on Great Keppel Island! The work was very reasonable and there was a lot of opportunity to hike, snorkel, go out on the boat, and generally explore the island. Craig was also very accommodating and a great host. I'd highly recommend this experience to anyone travelling Australia, as GKI is a hidden gem you won't otherwise hear about!

Our stay with Craig at the guest house was nothing short of absolutely amazing! We completely fell in love with the island. Craig and his puppy Ariel were the most warm and welcoming hosts. The work was extremely fair and flexible and Craig took us all around the islands and showed us anything we were curious to see and is always down for an activity! We truly had so much fun and hope to return to great keppel Island one day. We cannot recommend this exchange enough!
