Pumpkin Island

Catering to only 34 guess, social distancing is not a new concept to Pumpkin Island. You can even rent the whole island to yourself! Pumpkin Island is fortunate to be close to the mainland to offer a quick getaway, yet ultimate seclusion with very few guests. This allows safe social distancing whilst enjoying fresh air, beautiful nature and your own self contained cottage with minimal interaction with other guests or staff, if you so wish.
Capricorn Caves
