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
These were beautiful and comfortable rooms in a lovely, peaceful location. The hosts were very helpful and attentive. I loved all the small thoughtful touches -... read more they made the whole experience a joy. I managed to get around without a car but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're independent and active.
A pretty meaningful time away. It wasn't just a nice thing to do, it almost felt like an important thing that my partner and I were doing. The property has... read more a wealth of history inside and an authenticity that felt nostalgic and welcoming. The hospitality was fantastic and doting but the hosts created such a privacy for myself and my partner too.
We just had the loveliest time.
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
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... read more 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!
Phil and Merryl made everything about our stay delightful. From ease of booking, a warm welcome, beautiful environment and absolutely delicious food we felt relaxed and cared for... read more in the luxurious accommodation.
Want to feel pampered and relax in opulence and luxury - look no further than Bli Bli House. Brilliant place to stay and very accommodating hosts. Nothing was... read more too much trouble and given COVID restrictions, having breakfast delivered to your door was just superb. WOW!
We have stayed at many hotels and B&Bs all over the world, and without doubt Bli Bli House ranks amongst the best. We had no idea what awaited us... read more as our accommodation had been booked last minute on our behalf. It was a very pleasant surprise from start to finish, with unexpected thoughtful touches all throughout our stay. Our room was beautifully clean and the breakfast (which arrived at our door on time) was wonderful. The location is very convenient and we enjoyed exploring the grounds and new boardwalk along the river. Our only issue was a bit of traffic noise, but other rooms probably did not experience that to the same degree. Highly recommended, and we would stay there again. More
What a lovely stay. A step back in time to enjoy all the fine touches. We really felt like we were in our own home. Delicious breakfast on... read more the front deck which literally is served on a silver platter. We enjoyed cheese and wine down on the river in the afternoon to watch the sunset, played chess in the yard. Enjoying the magnificence of this beautiful home.
Walking around the rooms freely - you’ll find a library - pool table and a media room with a projector. A candy trolly that’s always full. Many antiques and vintage paraphernalia throughout. The rooms are beautiful and the beds super comfy. Strawberries & Chocolate left as a surprise at our door. It’s all about the little touches.
There are plenty of places to dine close buy - Teppanyaki was a favourite.
Meryl and Phil are incredibly Host.
Next time we’ll take a room on the riverside. Thank you for sharing your home. More
My husband and I took his elderly parents to Bli Bli House for 3 nights and we loved our stay. The property is elegantly decorated and the rooms are sumptuous... read more and comfortable. Breakfasts were delicious and the free cakes were much too tempting to resist! But the best thing was the incredibly friendly welcome we got from Phil and Merryl who went out of their way to make our stay a pleasant one.
