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.

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.

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.

Great place for fishing
It is very unique accomodation, you feel there like living on a boat with water just behind the window. Deck is great for fishing and I have used it extensively with good results. The house itself is complex and varies in age with bathrooms excellent and newly renovated. The stairs to the house are very narrow and steep which may be problem for some people. You have to understand that you are living next door to an excellent Thai restaurant and busy cafeteria and people and various activities are things to consider.

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.

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 😔

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.
