Holiday houses in Yeppoon

Yeppoon — a small coastal town situated on the Capricorn Coast in Queensland — boasts some of Australia’s most beautiful beaches like Mulambin Beach, a secluded oasis situated between Bluff Point and Pinnacle Point. Its calm turquoise waters and the long stretch of golden sand are bound by dense bushland and volcanic rock formations, making it an exceptional spot to swim, kayak, or relax.

Yeppoon is home to a prolific creative community, with art galleries and stunning murals at every turn. On Saturdays, check out the Yeppoon Community Market to explore the trove of new and second-hand goods, including art, books, clothing, and accessories. The town is also known for its charming café culture — grab a coffee and a pastry on your way to explore this slice of paradise or visit restaurants showcasing fine local wines, cheeses, and dishes that spotlight fresh seasonal produce.

Yeppoon maintains a pleasant, subtropical climate throughout the year, making it a year-round destination. One of the best times to book Yeppoon holiday rentals is during the summer, when the idyllic climate serves as an exceptional backdrop for outdoor activities. You can expect warm but comfortable temperatures and little rainfall. During autumn, join in on the annual harvest celebration of Yeppoon pineapples which takes place in October. During the first week of November, you can attend Emu Park Lions Oktoberfest for a day of singing, dancing, and sampling German beers. Celebrate the start of the holiday season at Carols by the Beach in December, a community showcase with singers and dancers on Yeppoon Beachfront.

Bluff Point Walking Track

Situated within the Capricorn Coast National Park, you’ll find the Bluff Point Walking Track. Make your way to Turtle Lookout, a 600-metre climb where you can take in views of the Keppel Bay islands and catch glimpses of turtles swimming below. As you continue along the circuit, check out Ritamada Outlooks for magnificent panoramic views of the coast and hinterlands.

Yeppoon Lagoon

Head over to the southern end of Yeppoon’s foreshore to find one of the town’s most alluring attractions — the Yeppoon Lagoon — a public resort-style infinity pool overlooking the Capricorn Coast and Keppel Islands. The pool is approximately 2,500 square metres and encompasses a shallow play area for children, open swimming spaces for older children and adults, and an infinity edge where you can take in panoramic views of the pristine turquoise water.

Great Keppel Island

Hop on a ferry from the Keppel Bay Marina and spend the day at Great Keppel Island, one of the islands of the Great Barrier Reef. Great Keppel Island is home to some of the most pristine white sandy beaches, including Shelving Beach, Monkey Beach, and Butterfish Bay, where you can swim in the crystal-clear water, snorkel, jet ski, stand-up paddleboard, or sunbathe on the shore. Explore the island on one of the many walking tracks that snake through the forest where you may encounter wildlife, including blue tongue lizards, rainbow lorikeets, and goannas.
