Keep your voices down – we’re just about to introduce you to one of Queensland’s best kept secrets – Pumpkin Island in the Southern Great Barrier Reef’s Keppel Group of islands, just 14km off the coast of Yeppoon. The island is the ultimate ‘get away from it all’ for couples, family groups or larger parties undertaking special celebrations.
This tiny gem – just six hectares in total – offers you eco-friendly accommodation for up to 34 guests in 7 self-catering units that are powered by the wind and the sun. All offer private decks and barbeques overlooking the sunset.
There is so much to do on this little island treasure. The wildlife will delight you; see dolphins, turtles and whales in season. Fish the rich waters, snorkel or experience the coral reefs from a glass bottom kayak or stand up paddle board, harvest your own oysters off the rocks or simply wander the secluded beaches.
