Deck over the water

This property is a real find. It is quirky, comfortable and so close to the water, the deck is actually over the water. If you like fishing or paddle boarding you are going to love it. Our little dog also loved it.

A Wonderful Three Days

Even though it rained we had the best time. The house was perfect for us-grandparents, parents and grandchildren. It has the feeling of being on a house boat with all the benefits of being on land. Of course having your Thai meal from the restaurant next door being handed over onto your deck was most convenient as well as being delicious.

Amazing location

A great place to have a short break. Right on the water, we swam off the deck and even caught a couple of little fish..the big ones are still out there.Everything you need is there. Even a great Thai restaurant right next door. We ordered takeaway and they delivered it over the fence. Perfect.

Fishing heaven!

Quirky layout with multiple levels, great back deck to fish from. Wonderful Thai restaurant and cafe next door. Quiet, great outlook over the water. Tuross is untouched by development, they do have a terrific club with very nice meals though. We spent many hours fishing and caught a lot of undersized fish but had a great time catching and releasing, some bigger ones also got a reprieve.

Making a stay here an annual get together.

Three couples in our late 60s who had a our first stay in 2023, just had three nights in 2024 and just booked for 2025. Love the quirky house, the over- water deck and its location. NB, as mentioned in the listing, if you have mobility issues not the place to stay as lots of stairs throughout the property.

Fabulous views and comfy house.

Three couples and we had a great stay. Outdoor, over water verandah is lovely. House really well-equipped. Restaurant next door great as is the cafe next to that. Pub runs a courtesy bus and is a fun night. Loved it and all ready booked for next year.

A perfect long weekend away

Wow!! We had been wanting to stay at this house for many years as we have family in Tuross, we had very high expectations and we were not disappointed. From waking up overlooking the water, to sitting on the deck with a wine fishing with the family our four days were absolutley magic. We will definitely be back.

Location number One

My husband and I had the best stay in the Red Box. The location for fishing was perfect and with the Pickled Octopus, Jane's hairdressing and coffee shop next door we didn't have to travel far. Communication with the owners was excellent and instructions easy to follow. The cottage met all of our needs and I would certainly recommend a stay here if you are venturing to this wonderful part of the world.

Treasure Box

This place keeps on giving. The tranquillity of the lake, the sunsets, little nooks to find, the salmon and seals. Great pleasures of stillness and reflections. Oh and the house in a perfect spot. All that you will ever need in the house and plenty of hames for kids. We loved our stay and was sad to leave 😔

Great weekend in unique property

Spent three nights for a winter escape. Great looking out over the lake from the house, and sitting out on the sunny deck (and throwing a line in). Spotted a seal swimming by :-) Having a good Thai restaurant and cafe right next door meant no need to cook (but the house well equipped if you do). Comfy house, with everything you need. Would book again.

Beautiful location and fantastic property!

My Family and I have been going to Red Box Cottage for many years. The Owners have made numerous renovations and additions that are stylish and practical to ensure a wonderful holiday. The property is always spotless and beautifully presented. We spend most of our time out on the back deck enjoying the water and enjoying the fishing. There is a great restaurant and cafe right next door. We always love coming back!

Fishing Week

Had a great family week away. Access down the front stairs was the only down side. On entry a hand rail on the left would make it easier when carrying luggage given the right rail is behind the open entry door. The added bonus of the grandsons being able to fish from the deck was brilliant.
