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.

Beautiful property and guest rooms. Bli Bli House has been lovingly restored, with many, many beautiful, authentic touches. Rooms are very luxurious, yet have all the modern facilities needed. Wonderful hosts. Very private rooms, beautiful outlook over the river. Grounds of Bli Bli House are very quiet and beautiful to walk around or just sit and take in the gorgeous surrounds.

This is a beautiful heritage property that has been decorated to give the feeling of having stepped back in time, while still having a microwave, internet and Netflix. Beautiful Petrie Creek frontage. Breakfast was delicious and generous. Lots of complementary treats to bring a smile. We had a lovely weekend there.

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.

Beautiful, old-world charm

I've just had a wonderful 4 night stay at Bli Bli house. I was after somewhere for a restful break and l found it. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Phil & Merryl's hospitality was exceptional yet unobtrusive. The breakfasts were great. I truly didn't want to leave, it was nice pretending that I was back in time. It's not just accommodation it's an experience. I really look forward to staying again one day. Don't forget to look for the jumping fish in the creek at sunset.
