This is an awesome fun activity for the whole family.. The kids loved being able to catch fish and were extremely proud of themselves when we all sat down to eat it in the cafe. The staff are awesome and extremely helpful. A definately must if holidaying at Phillip Island. More

It was not the nicest day to spend outdoors but thoroughly enjoyed our fishing experience. Although initially a little disappointed not to land a 'real' fish in the lake - the rainforest pond proved to be more challenging than we thought. Had a great time and really enjoyed eating our catch in the cafe. Was also interested in the bush... More

Thanks for your review - great photos too! I was with you guys in the Rainforest Pool - it did take a bit longer than normal, but then all of a sudden we caught three in a row! Generally we don't invite people to eat our bush foods direct from the plantation because some of them will give you a... More

OMG great scones yummy worth a trip there just for the scones... as for the fishing, nice enough... but felt abit rushed in the indoor pond area with the helper taking over, therefore felt pushed out from teaching the kids how to fish.. set up to win.. win... win.. big sized fish in the indoor pond. a guaranteed money spiner....

Thankyou for visiting our farm and taking part in some fishing and fine food! For those keen to extend their fishing experience, we always suggest you start on our beautiful big lake, where success takes a little longer. The indoor Rainforest Pool is much easier fishing and our staff are there to help anyone catch a fish and put a... More

This is a really good way to buy fish and chips! If you are looking for something really different to do, this is it! Fish in the pond all day, or try to catch only one trout on your line in the easy indoor set-up. Catch turns out into a fish and chip feast in the cafe. Couldn't fault the... More

I wish more tourists attractions were like this. My Partner and I spent quite a while choosing how we would spend our last few hours on Phillip Island. What better way than a trout farm!. My partner was a little skeptical, however I think she enjoyed catching the fish more that I did. This is not your normal trout farm.... More

We were quite excited at the prospect of catching our lunch, albeit, without hesitation as we are a family of very little fishing experience. As we walked through the doors, we were greeted with a friendly smile. The young lady who attended to us quickly and thoroughly explained the mechanics of what was involved - she handed us our rods,... More

It's a great activity for families. Kids love the experience of catching a fish and then eating it. I highly recommend it. Lots of staff to help and direct you through the park. Thumbs up!!! More

I live on Phillip Island - and I really enjoy having visitors, so it's great to see which of the attractions work best. The Rhyll Trout Farm serves glorious food in its restaurant, provides marinated trout for you to take home (I've done that too - minus the head!) and has just today provided a wonderful 'last day on the...

A great place for a family outing. Allow a few hours so you can go fishing in the outside and inside pools then have your fish cooked- beautiful fish and chips! The staff are very helpful and go out of their way to make sure everyone has a great time. More

Fantastic family experience! This family-owned trout farm is a hidden treasure, well not for long! Our family has visited this trout farm every time that we've visited Phillip Island, for the last 2 years. Young or old, you'll have a memorable experience! More
