Tucked within the breathtaking Keppel archipelago, this exquisite private island offers a rare chance to secure one of Queensland’s most enchanting coastal treasures. Just a short journey from Yeppoon—and easily accessed via private ferry, charter vessel or helicopter transfer from Rockhampton—Pumpkin Island delivers the ultimate escape, wrapped in natural beauty and year-round balmy weather.
Adding to its rich story, the island became widely recognised when it was temporarily rebranded as XXXX Island for a two-year national promotional campaign. During this period, competition winners were invited to enjoy exclusive, all-inclusive island escapes—firmly cementing Pumpkin Island as an iconic Australian destination.
Set across 6.07 hectares of pristine, eco-rich paradise, the island’s gentle beaches, crystal-clear waters and peaceful walking tracks create a haven where guests can unwind, explore and reconnect with nature. It’s a destination that welcomes families, friends, adventure seekers and those simply longing for their own slice of barefoot luxury.
The accommodation offering includes seven self-contained villas, comfortably hosting up to 34 guests, with additional infrastructure including a manager’s residence and staff guesthouse to support seamless operations. Overlooking the water, the licensed beachfront bar and sunset lounge invites long afternoon gatherings, complete with a library, fire pit and activities hut—perfect for hosting retreats, celebrations or intimate island events.
The opportunity also includes:
• A custom-built 36-seat passenger vessel
• Three registered boat moorings
• Children’s Playground
• Oyster lease for truly unique guest experiences
Renowned for its environmental credentials, Pumpkin Island stands as one of Australia’s most sustainable island resorts—fully off-grid, powered by solar and wind, and operating with impressive water-harvesting systems. Awarded Most Sustainable Hotel in Australasia in 2018, it set a benchmark as the nation’s first island to go beyond carbon neutral.
For the incoming custodian, the island offers strong potential for future growth. From dynamic pricing strategies to elevating the guest experience with additional services, wellness offerings or high-end amenities, the avenues for value uplift are considerable. Planning approval for two additional villas also provides scope to expand capacity and enhance returns.
A breathtaking sanctuary. A thriving eco-resort. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a private chapter of the Great Barrier Reef.
