If you are looking for a romantic weekend away with private time, this is not the place. Keswick Island might be the place, but certainly not the guest house. If you are looking to be a guest at your Auntie's house (on a gorgeous island) who doesn't like children and her kooky husband who bills himself as a "museo" aka... More

After having visited the Keswick Island Guesthouse for the third occasion it was about time to question why. Could it be the delicious meals that Lyn prepares for lunch and dinner? There is always something different and tantalising for the taste buds. Each meal is presented beautifully and can be guaranteed to satisfy your appetite. Not that Brian can be... More

We were looking for a quiet place to rest and recuperate from a busy year and were very happy we chose Keswick Island Guest House where we stayed for 6 nights. The hosts, Brian and Lyn went out of their way to make us feel welcome and were very hospitable and accommodating. Brian is a great storyteller and entertainer and... More

I was extremely fortunate to spend my 40th birthday (long weekend) at Keswick Island. From the moment we stepped off the helicopter the stress just seemed to melt away. We were met at the airstrip by Brian and Lyn and their enormous smiles which never seem to faulter. I cannot rave enough about Lyn's food and the hospitality of the... More

We stayed in the questhouse on Keswick Island - which is a fantastic place to be- for three nights ! Brian and Lynn, the owners, do their upmost to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Lynn is cooking like a professionel one star Michelin star chef. We enjoyed our stay in paradise very much and in case of return... More

Stayed here for 4 nights and had a wonderful time with warm and lovely hosts Brian and Lyn. All we had to do was sit back and relax, enjoy the beautiful view, eat the divine meals (Lyn is the best cook!) and take a heavenly dip in the sea every once in a while. The rooms are quite big, clean... More

We stayed 5 nights. I need gluten free food and Lyn not only provided great food but was able to do so completely without gluten while we were there. The meals were always interesting and often incorporated new tastes to offer further temptation along with the excellent presentation and food quality. Seeing to the comfort and interests of their guests... More

Brian and Lyn are born hosts. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. You get welcomed onto the island with big grins and waves as the tiny plane lands (part of the fun!), get a ride up the hill in a golf buggy and a glass of bubbles to say hello. Likely it will be a meal time, so you... More

We have just returned from 5 nights at the guest house, where we had a great time. Brian and Lyn are fabulous hosts-the food is delicious, the wine is plentiful, the company fantastic and Keswick is stunning (deserted beautiful beaches and clear blue sea). The island is about to be developed so go now while you can still have it... More
