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!

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.

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!
