Where should I stay in The Capricorn Coast Region?

Choose your accommodation around the holiday you have in mind. Yeppoon offers a coastal town base, Emu Park and the surrounding beaches invite a slower seaside escape, Byfield Rainforest offers a change of scenery, and Great Keppel Island brings barefoot island days on the Southern Great Barrier Reef. Rockhampton adds heritage streetscapes, riverside dining and city experiences.

How many nights should I spend in The Capricorn Coast Region?

A short break gives you a taste of the region, while a longer holiday creates time to combine coast, rainforest, city and islands. Start with our two, three and five-night Capricorn Coast itineraries for ideas on where to go, what to do and how to plan your days.

Can I combine Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Byfield Rainforest and Great Keppel Island in one holiday?

Yes. Staying in more than one location lets you experience different sides of the region. Begin with Rockhampton’s city experiences, spend time among the trees in Byfield Rainforest, enjoy the coast around Yeppoon and finish with an island stay.
Our seven-night itinerary through Rockhampton, Byfield Rainforest, Yeppoon and Great Keppel Island brings these four stays together in one holiday.

Can I stay on Great Keppel Island or visit from Yeppoon?

Both are options. Stay overnight on Great Keppel Island to give yourself more time for beaches, walking and island experiences, or include a day trip during your mainland stay. Passenger ferries connect Rosslyn Bay with Great Keppel Island; check current services before arranging your travel.

Explore our guide to the Keppel Islands and Southern Great Barrier Reef to help plan your island escape.

Is Byfield Rainforest worth including in my holiday?

Byfield Rainforest offers a different setting from the coastline, with forest scenery, freshwater creeks, walking opportunities and places to stay among the trees. Include it as a day trip from your coastal accommodation or allow time for an overnight rainforest escape.
