The Salty Snapper

Come for the island. Stay for the memories.

Welcome to The Salty Snapper, a big, beautiful home tucked away in the peaceful seaside village of Rhyll on Phillip Island.

This is not your average holiday house. It’s a place designed for people to come together, spread out, slow down and enjoy being on holiday.

With six bedrooms, four bathrooms and multiple living spaces all on one level, there’s room for up to 14 guests without everyone having to be in the same room at the same time.

Want to gather around the long dining table for dinner? …..There’s room.

Want the kids to disappear into the games room? …..Perfect.

Want to curl up somewhere quiet with a book while everyone else is doing their thing? .....There’s a spot for that, too.

And when the day is done, there’s nothing quite like coming home, lighting the fire, pouring a drink and settling into your own little corner of the island.

The Salty Snapper is a spacious, light filled home with a relaxed coastal feel and plenty of personality.

We love beautiful things, so you'll find artwork, timber, natural textures and carefully chosen pieces throughout the house. It’s fresh and stylish without feeling precious.

This is a house you're meant to actually live in.

Kick off your shoes. Open the doors. Gather around the kitchen. Put your feet up.

The house has been designed around the simple pleasure of spending time together.

The Kitchen & Dining

The kitchen is made for big groups. There’s a generous kitchen with quality appliances, plenty of bench space and a long timber dining table that becomes the natural gathering point of the house.

Whether you're cooking a big family breakfast, putting together a lazy lunch after the beach or settling in for a long dinner with friends, there’s space to do it without everyone getting under each other's feet.

Room to Spread Out

With multiple living areas, everyone can find their own space.

There’s room for conversation, quiet time, movie nights, reading, relaxing and everything in between. The house works beautifully for extended families and groups of friends because being together doesn't have to mean being on top of each other. Foxtel with movies and sport packages are available on both large TVs found in the living rooms.

The Games Shed

Inside you'll find a pool table, table tennis and a classic arcade machine with 1200 games. These games will take you back to your childhood and you can certainly share your memories with the kids.

It's the kind of open space where the kids disappear for hours. And then you realise the adults have disappeared too. Fair warning: competitive table tennis or pacman may become a thing.

----

Outside

The backyard is made for island living. There's plenty of room for the kids to run around, outdoor dining for long lunches and dinners, a BBQ for easy holiday cooking and an outdoor shower for rinsing off sandy feet after a day at the beach. There is even a golf putting green.

The outdoor spaces flow naturally from the house, making it easy to spend the day moving between inside and out.

----

All Year Comfort

The Salty Snapper is designed to be enjoyed in every season. There's ducted heating and refrigerated air conditioning throughout the house, along with a log fire in the main living area for those cooler island evenings. We’ve even taken care of the common complaints about the local water quality and taste. At The Salty Snapper, all water accessed within and around the house is filtered, clean and yum.

WHY RHYLL?

If you know Phillip Island, you'll know that Rhyll is a little different. It's quieter. Slower. And wonderfully relaxed.

The village sits on the north east side of Phillip Island, surrounded by coastline, walking tracks, bike tracks, wildlife and beautiful natural spaces.

It's the sort of place where you can head out for a morning walk, wander down the end of the court to the path that leads you to the water, throw a line in without the crowds, grab a coffee, enjoy a glass of vino or beer at the Rhyll Taven, feed the kids at the best fish and chip shop on the Island (Tydes), have a game of tennis and then come back to the peace and privacy of your own house. All walking distance.

When you stay at Rhyll, you're still close to everything Phillip Island is famous for, including beaches, wildlife, the Penguin Parade, Amazing Things, Koala Park, Ten Pin Bowling, Indoor Rock Climbing, the Grand Prix Circuit, local attractions, cafes and restaurants.

But when you return to The Salty Snapper, the holiday really begins.

THE SALTY SNAPPER IS PERFECT FOR...

Big Families - Bring everyone together without sacrificing space.

Groups of Friends - Plenty of room to cook, eat, chat, play and relax together.

Beach & Island Getaways - Come for the coastline, wildlife and adventure or pamper, then retreat home to your own private space.

Celebrations - Birthdays, reunions and special weekends are welcome (provided they remain respectful of our residential neighbourhood and our no-party policy).

A Proper Escape - Sometimes the best holiday is simply having nowhere you need to be.

COME AND STAY AWHILE

The Salty Snapper isn't about rushing around trying to see everything.

It's about coming home after a day exploring the island and knowing you've got a beautiful house waiting for you.

It's long lunches. Bare feet. Kids laughing in the games room. A glass of wine while the sun goes down under the vines. A morning coffee before everyone else wakes up. A few competitive games of pool. And those conversations that somehow only happen when you're away from home.

Come for Phillip Island. Stay for The Salty Snapper. Leave with some good memories.

The Salty Snapper is yours for the duration of your stay. You'll have exclusive access to the house, backyard, outdoor areas and games room. The garage is not available for guest use, however there is off street parking for two cars side by side directly in front of the garage. There is also extra parking down the court.

We'll provide everything you need for an easy arrival, including check in instructions and access details before your stay. And if you need us during your visit, we're only a message away.

I wont be available in person but I will be sure to respond quickly to any query you may have and in most cases be able to assist with personnel who are moments away.
