Originally the tea house for the historic “Pioneer Village” the formal dining room has been refurbished to reproduce the elegance and authenticity of dining at a grand manor. With the 12 foot high ceilings and old world chandelier above there is a feeling of dining with royalty.
The Dining Room is furnished with an authentic Victorian fireplace, grandfather clock, historic sideboard and offers an individual table for each guest room. Small touches such as white linen tablecloths to the floor, freshly polished silver ware from yesteryear and relaxing background music all add to the experience.
Our aim is to give you a breakfast experience to remember! Our breakfasts are served in your room on our silver service trolleys and on the week-ends as a buffet breakfast in the Chandelier dining room.
On arrival you will be given our breakfast menu to fill out for the next morning. You need to choose your cooked breakfast selection from eggs benedict, our signature crepe, fried eggs and bacon, eggs hollandaise and scrambled eggs. There is a huge choice of cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurt, juices, pastries, breads, and a variety of jams. Tea and coffee is served on your trolley in our polished silverware.
One thing is for certain… you won’t go hungry! Check out our menu here.

I came to Bli Bli house without expectations or ideals around how my stay would manifest. Magic miracles arose from this mindset.
Bli Bli house is beautifully positioned on... read more Petrie Creek amid a gorgeous block of land.
The furniture is all from the time period my heart craves the most and I could feel the antique energy embrace my soul as my core essence soaked up the ecstatic memory vibrations of past guests.
Meryll wheeling the sweets trolley past me, full of cakes, lollies, bikkies and brownies, felt like I had stepped into the world of Harry Potter's train to Hogwarts.
The Kengsington Suite, in which I stayed, was swoonworthy, complete with thick fluffy robes, a princess style 4 poster bed and a claw foot tub which I soaked in for hours.
The added extras seemed unending and I was overwhelmed by the generosity of gifts that came with the stay.
The most amazing being a world class breakfast..those scrambled eggs...mmmm.
I am truly grateful I synchronistically stumbled on Bli Bli House when I was needing this kind of nurturing.
The world felt...not as bad anymore after my stay.
I wish I could have stayed longer and next time I just may take myself up on the possibility.
Thank you Merryll and Phil. You are truly unique and giving souls! More

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.

My husband and I stayed at Bli Bli house for one night in the Regency Suite with the romance package. We were greeted at the front door by Merryl who... read more was warm and friendly. We were given a tour of the retreat before being shown to our luxurious suite. We loved that we could roam around the house and enjoy the sweet trolley, coffee/tea and the pool room. We didn't have time to use the media room/home theatre but will use it next time. Our suite was absolutely beautiful! It was opulent and regal with a four post bed, double sofa, small kitchenette, slippers and robes, ensuite with double spa bath and separate shower and french doors that led onto our own private balcony with beautiful views. We enjoyed a bottle of champagne and strawberries before settling in for the night. The bed was very very comfortable and we enjoyed a good nights sleep. We handed in our breakfast choices the night before and received a text message in the morning to inform us that our breakfast trolley was ready and outside our door. The breakfast was beautifully prepared and very well cooked. We enjoyed a hot breakfast with fresh coffee and pastries. The only thing we regretted was only staying one night. We will definitely be back! Thank you to the hosts for a beautiful stay. More

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!
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
We selected Bli Bli House purely from previous reviews which were spot on.
We had a lovely night. Although we had planned on eating in, this wasn’t an option when... read more we arrived. No big deal, we drove down the road and purchased some prawns, which in hindsight sight, it was nice sitting on the verandah watching the sun go down, eating prawns and drinking bubbles.
If the people in the next room didn’t wake at 4.45am on a Sunday morning and turn the TV on and talk reasonably loudly for that time of the morning, everything would have been excellent!
Breakfast came at the allotted time. Again, nice to sit on the verandah and take our time. No rushing to leave early.
We didn’t know what to expect prior to going, however we would definitely go back again…. More
