Inside Steve Jacobs’ private hideaway in Vanuatu – as he returns to Nine following Today sacking 

Steve Jacobs is preparing to return to Nine as a radio presenter for Magic 1278, four months after he was sacked from Today. 

And ahead of his return to the workforce, the 53-year-old weatherman has shared a glimpse at the lush Vanuatu hideaway where he spent much of his short-lived unemployment.  

Posting to Instagram, the father-of-two showed off his tropical rental getaway, The Boathouse, while encouraging his fans to book a holiday to Vanuatu.

‘From where I’d rather be. Dreaming of getting back to my island paradise. Vanuatu has registered no cases of Corona’, he wrote next to a gallery of photos of the property. 

Steve also included links to his website where holidaymakers can find more information and make reservations.  

Located on the southern end of Port Vila, Vanuatu, The Boathouse is a private beachfront property just a stone’s throw away from the island’s pristine reefs.

On Sunday, it was announced that Steve would return to Nine as a radio announcer for the network’s Melbourne radio station Magic 1278. 

He will host a new breakfast show at the end of the month, focussing on music from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. 

‘To be able to start with a blank slate and rebuild these stations is a really exciting time,’ Steve told The Herald Sun of his new gig. 

‘To be handed the reins of these amazing stations that have such great heritage and to bring them back to music stations is a great challenge.’  

Steve, who spent 18 years living in the Victorian capital, said he hopes his trademark on-screen energy will translate to the airwaves.
