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 😔

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.

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.

Magical Red Box Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at beautiful, magical Red Box Cottage. The cottage was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The highlight was the deck over the water. We spent many happy hours there catching up and taking in the stunning views (including sparkling sunsets) and the tranquillity. We also went kayaking on the lake. It was a very special weekend. Natalie was also very kind and understanding when we had a change to our plans. I highly recommend Red Box Cottage, especially for its location both over the lake and right next to a delicious Thai restaurant and The Boatshed Cafe! We can’t wait to return!
