Travel by private boat
If you're arriving by your own boat, The Shell House is the only guest accommodation on Great Keppel Island offering two complimentary moorings exclusively for our booked guests (T&Cs apply). While we hope you can make use of them, they do have weight, draft, and size limitations.
