This Beautiful old building, has been lovingly looked after & the position by the river is sublime. The rooms & the furnishings are very well suited, & you dream of yesteryear, but still with modern amenities. The hosts do an amazing job, from arrival to leaving in making you feel very welcome. Will definitely return.

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.

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.

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.

Meryl was a delight from the moment we walked through the door. The house is gorgeous, the rooms so romantic and we just didn’t want to leave. This was perfect for our 8th anniversary as we love the region and were looking for something that little bit special for this occasion. We dined in the Chandelier room and the food was divine - we were SO full but finished it all as it was just so delicious. They catered to my coeliac needs so well too. We will definitely be back! Thank you.

good/bad but enjoyed
Greeted in very friendly manner, explained about everything we needed to know, shown the casual lounge where able to have free tea/ coffee,- treats--cakes/chocolates/ lollies - etc all at any time day or night. Bed and room wonderful. Authentic Victorian décor, could not be faulted.Beautiful position on river really enjoyed our stay,but was upset that we were not informed we could not dine in the elegant dining room for breakfast or dinner because of Covid..Could not see why ,with (at the most) 5 couples they would have been wide spread, or have 2 sittings.We were celebrating our 63rd wedding anniversary,and my wifes 84th birthday and chose here because of the old time elegance and silver service dining. It was a surprise for my wife,but we had to go out to a hotel for a meal.with about 50 people and a lot of noise No silver service Hardly a surprise romantic evening, and not even offered room service,except for breakfast.Cannot fault anything else,very pleasant owners,just that one big fault. Would I recommend it?--YES, Would I go again ? Not sure....
