Beside shimmering water and white sands sits an ancient fig tree to shade you from the hot sun.

Step inside and leave the world behind…

The Fig Tree at Snelling Beach has been an unmissable part of a true Kangaroo Island experience for years, don’t miss out this summer!

A homely Mediterranean-inspired feast underneath an ancient fig tree.

Season from November 6th ‘24 - April 5th ‘25

We offer an ever-changing Mediterranean-inspired feast (not a small plates degustation or a tasting menu).

Rather a homely 2.5 hour dining experience where you can relax and enjoy thoughtfully prepared KI and SA produce.

A range of KI wines and spirits will be available along with great producers from the mainland. Aperol spritz anyone?

Menu cost is $140 per person with alcohol and beverages charged on consumption.

You can also expect coastal foraged ingredients and hyper local seafood depending on how successful the staff are…

You will enjoy snacks, bread and antipasti, small plates, mains, sides, salads and dessert. After that you can walk across the road and lie on the beach!
