  Bli Bli House Riverside Retreat is more of a luxurious experience than a hotel. The service was amazing and there were so many thoughtful touches - I couldn't have... read more asked for a nicer place to unwind.

I think I would go there for a break from reality even if lived next door!

  This beautiful accommodation was our home for three nights and it really did feel like it was our home.

Merryl and Phil have done a wonderful job restoring Bli Bli House and creating an ambience that takes you back to days gone by. Merryl was an attentive host and helped make our stay perfect. We took the opportunity to have dinner in the Chandelier Room which was a highlight of our stay. Breakfast in bed or on our private veranda was also included and it did not disappoint.Highly recommend a visit here if you want to be spoilt and pampered!

Highly recommend Bli Bli House for a relaxing, romantic getaway.

Thank you so much Phil and Merryl.

  Chose this place for our anniversary, because it had a lovely victorian-esque theme that my partner loved. Definitely lived up to expectations, was quiet, private despite rooms being so close,... read more and service was excellent, and at our own volition. Was looking forward to in house dinner and breakfast, but dinner was off the menu due to health issues the lovely hostess had. The breakfast we ordered for the morning consisted of: crepes, fruit salad, bacon and fried tomatoes, yogurt, juice, pastries, tea and coffee. And was cooked and presented perfectly and delivered straight to our door. We ate out on the verandah overlooking the river, food was excellent and so was the view. Spent too much time in the spa, came out a little cooked, nothing a little rest on the comfy bed couldn't fix! Overall will definitely do again sooner rather than later, maybe even next anniversary. Posted to my google acct too.

The gardens and surrounding area is so enjoyable and peaceful and Bli Bli house is just amazing. We will certainly be recommending it to friends and family.

From start to finish, I felt so relaxed and pampered at the Bli Bli House. We stayed in the Heritage Suite, which is absolutely beautiful with its four-poster bed, fireplace and seating area, spa bathtub, and - most charmingly - its own veranda with seating for reading plus table and chairs for dining. We loved feeling tucked away in this beautiful room with its private outdoor space for the duration of our stay. Our hosts, Phil and Merryl, did everything they could to ensure a 5-star experience for us. Knowing it was a special birthday for me, they gave us a bottle of wine and brought us strawberries and chocolate later that evening. The following morning, our pre-ordered breakfast arrived on a cart outside our door with everything served in silver. It felt so lush, luxurious, and 'old world' as we ate our breakfast on the veranda.

As a fan of period piece films set in the 19th and early 20th centuries, I truly felt transported to another time and place. My husband and I definitely plan on returning when we can. Thanks a million, Phil and Merryl, for helping to make my 50th birthday a memorable one. More
