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

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
