Keppel Haven on Queensland’s Great Keppel Island was officially handed over to businessmen Sean Appleton, Grantley Jack, Matthew Bredhauer and Peter Lowe acquired the 300-bed property from Brian Canty.
The re-opening of the large resort is still conditional on financial backing but the new owners are planning a major refurbishment and it will be about two years before it opens.
Keppel Haven is the only property on the island offering a restaurant and bar for visitors. The property, originally known as Wattarabulla, has 22 cabins, a bunkhouse for groups of up to 50, and several permanent tents for budget travellers. Great Keppel Holiday Village still operates and the Tower Group is ready to renovate the Great Keppel Island Resort.
Leon Wetzel (formerly Beaches Bistro and Capricorn Tavern) will manage the property.
