Yeppoon Beachhouse

Yeppoon

Located directly across the road from a beautiful beach with views across the Keppel Islands, Yeppoon Beachouse offers budget accommodation in the scenic sea-side village of Yeppoon, 40 minutes' drive from the centre of Rockhampton.

The nearest airport is Rockhampton Airport, 40 km from the hostel. I like the ambiance of the place. It's just that I was alone, tho the people there are nice and friendly. It would be so much fun if you're coming there with friends.
