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.

Excellent Location to Chill Out

The location with the back deck on the water made it a very relaxing weekend to just chill out. The weather was perfect which made it even better to sit in the sun on the back deck and then watching the sunsets was beautiful. To be able to walk into the restaurant for dinner and the Fish and Chip Cafe next door for lunch was fantastic too.

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.

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.

Red Box Cottage - Tuross Heads

A fantastic property. Clean and well presented with gorgeous views over the river. Lots of stairs throughout the property and house so if you are less mobile you might need to consider this. Spending time on the back deck fishing and soaking up the sun was a perfect way to spend the afternoon. Really convenient Thai restaurant and Cafe next door - great meals. Country Club was a nice spot to have lunch, beautiful views over the lake.

Fantastic family break

There is nowhere better to stay on the coast. The location is second to none. This was our second stay and we loved it even more (as we stayed twice as long this trip). The house was perfect for our family with two (young adults) kids - everyone had their own room and having two bathrooms always makes it easier to get along.We spent our days in the sunshine on the deck and our evenings sitting playing boardgames outside. When the sun was a little too hot in the afternoon, we retreated inside to watch DVDs.A new addition since our previous visit was the QR code for the next door restaurant on the outdoor table. We used this twice and it was highly convenient.We loved every minute and will be back for sure.

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.
