  • star rating  Beautiful,large rooms (5 suites) tastefully furnished .All conveniences including coffee pod machine,fridge,TV,DVD player and an effective lifelike electric fire.Four of the rooms have a wide verandah and overlook Petrie Creek,more... read more a river than a creek at about 75 metres width.Four poster bed ,quality sheets,towels and bathrobes.Very quiet rooms which seem impermeable to outdoor noise although at peak hours there is some traffic roar outside on the verandah( several major roads,including motorways,are close by although one would not know it,other than by the afore mentioned traffic roar which is nothing much really).
    There is a public lounge,dining room,reading room ,dining room and games room,all attractive.
    The hosts are kind and obliging and a real pleasure to know.The breakfasts are superb and delivered to the room.Dinner is served in a dining room which was graced by a real fire in it’s fireplace when we dined.
    The premises are designed well and everything within is of quality.It is scrupulously well maintained and clean.Bli Bli house in my opinion sets the highest standard and one which all Queensland hospitaliers would do well to emulate.
    Well worth it’s 5 stars! More

  • star rating  Absolutely amazing. My husband and I stayed there for our 1-year wedding anniversary and it was nothing short of a lovely, romantic experience. From the minute you walk in, you... read more have a very friendly greeting, the decor is so beautiful and well set out, inside and out. I was so in love with the vintage furniture and really enjoyed the view of the garden and river, outside was so nice and pretty and looked after very well. Great attention to detail and a lot of thought put in for your stay at Bli Bli Riverside Retreat. From a beautiful welcome letter and flowers, to treats and a bar fridge that had the necessities, and it was all free. A hot breakfast each morning and it was beautifully cooked and well presented. We are very pleased with our experience and will definitely be back again. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast and really think you won't regret giving it a try and staying here! Thank you Merryl and Phil for the great stay.

  • star rating  If you want to step back in time then Bli Bli House is the perfect stay as we found out. Our hosts have an eye to please their guests... read more in their idyllic setting on the banks of Petrie creek. Despite the wet weather we had no real reason to leave our comfortable surrounds and enjoyed time looking at the views from our own private veranda. A great range to chose from on the breakfast menu which was delivered to our room each morning. The touching surprise was the silver plate with two forks, sliced strawberries, dipping chocolate sauce and two red heart chocolates waiting on our arrival back from dinner. The only disappointment was it didn't happen the second night when we were so looking forward to this special treat. A memorable stay for our 47th anniversary surrounded by delightful décor that certainly added charm and elegance. Worthy of giving this accommodation 5 stars. More
