Guest Compendium (September 2021)

Welcome to Bli Bli House. This hotel is celebrated for its eclectic mix of modern and Victorian architecture, a Darcy Doyle art collection, antique furnishings and relaxed, personal service. I feel confident that your stay with us will be a relaxing and enjoyable experience and I encourage you to explore our beautiful public rooms and acre of garden beside the river.

HOTEL INFORMATION

The Bli Bli House experience is designed to make you feel like you are staying in your own home. Take the time to walk around the historic house and explore the original part of the house; the Library, Media and Pool rooms and the Guest lounge in the newer wing. These areas are for you to enjoy anytime during your stay and the house is full of a collection of art and antiques.

 

A LITTLE ABOUT THE HISTORY

 

Attention to history and Victorian elegance was the theme throughout the years we refurbished Bli Bli House.  We studied and learnt much about house styles of the nineteenth century to reproduce such a masterpiece. The formal dining room was the first restored, featuring Victorian elegance with dining tables draped with full length linen table cloths, silver cutlery, candelabras, and a crystal chandelier adorning the 14-foot ceiling. Then the fully self-contained garden cottage followed by the guest wing including the Grande hallway, two guest suites, guest lounge, surround verandas and balconies decorated with authentic wrought iron balustrade, and heritage cornicing to reflect the era. Lastly the pool room on the first floor along with the media room and reading parlour were fully restored and refurbished. A rainforest theme was reproduced throughout the gardens to reduce the carbon footprint with educational posters for guests to wonder through and read at their leisure.

We are totally on tank water so we appreciate you using it sparingly. At different times of the year the water in the spa baths may look a little cloudy. This is due to the Tanium from the surrounding gum trees. It is totally clean as our water goes through a triple filtration system but it does not always remove all the cloudiness.

  • star rating  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

  • star rating  I can’t believe I haven’t spotted this little gem of a place before. Only stayed one night as I was on the Sunshine Coast for business.
    I was met... read more on arrival by Merryl, and immediately felt so welcome. This truly is a guest house in the traditional sense. The owners, Phil and Merryl, have obviously put their heart and soul into developing this place, with charm and Victorian elegance in every feature. Check out their website for photos, I couldn’t do it justice but trying to describe it, but suffice to say that when you see it in person, you’ll agree that the atmosphere can’t be conveyed with a few pictures. I’d highly recommend it for couples seeking a romantic getaway, too. Absolutely delightful.
