High Tea

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!

  We took time to read some the reviews as we normally book a motel for a getaway. This time our getaway was to take time out before our upcoming wedding.... read more We stayed one night, I wish it was two. From the moment we arrived we felt so comfortable and instantly felt relaxed.
We were given a tour of this beautiful home. Shown everything the home had to offer to make our stay memorable, including a beautiful lolly and sweets cart. We made a cup of tea and coffee and enjoyed the view on our balcony with some sweets. Delicious!

Upstairs was a billiards pool room with a little theatre room. We didn’t have time to enjoy this unfortunately, But if you find time it’s a must.

We went into our room and were taken aback with the old Victorian charm and the elegance of the furnishings. Just amazing.
The bed is the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. Definitely did not want to get out of it that’s for sure.
We had breakfast served on a beautiful silver trolley left at our door on time. Breakfast was delicious and very well presented. Again it was a breakfast that was so well cooked I had to eat it all, as so much love went into cooking and serving it.
Water pressure in the shower was perfect. Always a must.
The fire place was a beautiful touch. We enjoyed a board game while sitting in front of it. We opted to order Uber eats and stay and enjoy our room.
We enjoyed a little walk around the gardens in the afternoon watched the sun go down from our balcony. The water views did not disappoint.
We are already planning another visit and we cannot wait.
This place is a must do.
So many little thoughtful extras. Little treats, bathrobes and slippers. All the quality extras that you don’t expect.
A hotel cannot compare to this and we are so glad we chose to stay here.
Thank you.
Daniel and Michelle.

The House has lovely touches like a sweets bar and espresso machine in the common area. Unfortunately due to the changing nature of COVID restrictions the dining room was closed. Breakfast in our room each day was sensational. I highly recommend the crepes.
There are plenty of dining options nearby in Maroochydore, only a 10 minute drive away.
The hosts are lovely people. They have created a warm and tranquil escape for couples looking for romance.

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.

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.
