8/10 Very good

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Janice, 1-night trip

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.

A delightful step back in time to a luxurious treat with such attention to detail. The breakfast trolley is something to experience! Phil and Meryl are excellent hosts, there if needed but totally respecting your privacy.
Fiona, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
