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.

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.
