Kayaks Introduced to Riverside Retreat (March 2022)

  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!

  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.

  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

  We stayed at Bli Bli House for 5 days and wish that it could have been longer. The whole house is filled with opulence and old fashioned charm.... read more The rooms are well equipped and the four poster beds are super comfortable. A delicious breakfast of our choice was delivered to our room on a silver service trolley each day which we enjoyed on our veranda overlooking the neighbouring gardens and River. The hosts, Merryl and Phil are wonderful and provided lots of additional touches such as welcome chocolates and cakes available in the guest lounge throughout the day. We also arranged an afternoon tea at the House during our stay which was absolutely amazing and great value for money. Super place to stay - we hope to return. 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!

  Chose this place for our anniversary, because it had a lovely victorian-esque theme that my partner loved. Definitely lived up to expectations, was quiet, private despite rooms being so close,... read more and service was excellent, and at our own volition. Was looking forward to in house dinner and breakfast, but dinner was off the menu due to health issues the lovely hostess had. The breakfast we ordered for the morning consisted of: crepes, fruit salad, bacon and fried tomatoes, yogurt, juice, pastries, tea and coffee. And was cooked and presented perfectly and delivered straight to our door. We ate out on the verandah overlooking the river, food was excellent and so was the view. Spent too much time in the spa, came out a little cooked, nothing a little rest on the comfy bed couldn't fix! Overall will definitely do again sooner rather than later, maybe even next anniversary. Posted to my google acct too.

  We had a wonderful two night stay in the Kensington room. This place is beautiful. Attention to detail. So clean and welcoming. All the little extras you get make you... read more go wow.
The hot/cold breakfast included is scrumptious. Came home the first night to find dipping chocolates and chocolates on a beautiful tray outside our door . Everything you need in your rooms plus more in the communal area.
Definitely a place to experience and stay.

  What a special place to stay! We felt so welcome. We had never stayed at a B&B before and this far exceeded our expectations. All the beautiful Victorian decor and... read more amazing extras made us feel like royalty. And what a breakfast!! Delicious

Highly recommend Bli Bli House for a relaxing, romantic getaway.

Thank you so much Phil and Merryl.

  Phil and Merryl’s place is a perfect place to unwind. We had the room with balcony and a spa. In the morning, they brought us the breakfast we ordered with... read more a nice trolley, so we could just enjoy our yummy breakfast at the balcony. Overlooking at the well maintained garden and the creek behind, I could’ve stayed there whole day!!

  Beautiful spot, incredible service. Room was amazing, with a hot tub, river views, king bed (super comfy) and soft sheets. So many sweets and treats. Breakfast was next level. We... read more really enjoyed our stay. Thank you guys!
