Beautiful property, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Plenty of free snacks in the room and around the place but being coeliac unfortunately I couldn’t eat any of them so would have been nice if there were a few healthier options.

Good Lord, I need more stars to rate this property! It is breathtaking. The owners have put so much attention to detail into every aspect of this property. Every room is beautiful, the service is excellent, the food is both delicious and never ending (we kept finding more sweet treats everywhere!), the gardens are relaxing and beautifully designed, the bed was wonderfully comfortable. The whole experience was a step back to another world of manners, style and luxury. I can't wait to go back.

Put Bli Bli Riverside Retreat on your Bucket List

What a treat,Bli Bli house should be on the bucket list for travelers to Queensland, especially if you appreciate Old World Charm. Upon arrival Merril greeted us very warmly gave us loads of information regarding places to see and things to do. Breakfast each day was delicious and took into consideration my dietary needs. Treats in abundance in our room and in the shared space for guests. Location is superb. The decor at Bli Bli house is second to none. It is also well situated to the BliBli shopping precinct and a short 15minute drive to Maroochydore. Many places of interest to visit such at the Castle, the Maze and a relaxing and informative ferry trip to Noosa. We will be returning in the not too distant future.
