  Thank you Meryl and Phil for making our stay a truly memorable one.
You welcomed us and our dearest friends into your home and looked after all of our... read more needs and then more.
The gardens and surrounding area is so enjoyable and peaceful and Bli Bli house is just amazing. We will certainly be recommending it to friends and family.

  Such a lovely peaceful stay at Bli Bli House. Luxury and elegance at its best, with wonderful hosts. We loved the period furnishings , the bed was so comfortable... read more and having a lovely cooked breakfast on your private veranda to top it off, wow.
We will definitely be back

  Thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay at Bli Bli House. The room was spacious and cosy; the deck and view of the river were lovely; the amenities and little extras... read more provided were wonderful.

We were delighted by our stay.

  Antique style was charming. Bed was very comfortable. Room and ensuite were clean. Included breakfast was tasty and had sufficient choices. Great location was just over ten minutes drive... read more to everywhere we had to go.

  I came to Bli Bli house without expectations or ideals around how my stay would manifest. Magic miracles arose from this mindset.
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

  We had a lovely two night stay at Bli Bli house to celebrate our 24th Wedding Anniversary. A very clean comfortable and spacious room with a tasty hot breakfast brought... read more to our room, what a treat. We loved the balcony overlooking the river and had the opportunity to sit back and read the papers with a coffee and some of the treats from the guest lounge. The down side was waking up at home the day after and no breakfast trolly was at our bedroom door.

  Our flight was diverted due to bad weather and we were stranded with nowhere to stay. We had tried calling a number of places that either didn’t answer or couldn’t... read more help, but just after 10pm we got through to Phil and Merryl who offered a room waited up for us. They even drove us to the airport in the morning when our taxi got stuck behind flood waters so that we wouldn’t miss the rescheduled flight! On top of that, the bed was really comfy and the breakfast was tasty. Thank you so much!

  My husband booked an overnight stay at the Bli Bli House for my 50th birthday weekend. Coming up from Brisbane, we paired the stay at this beautiful accommodation with reservations... read more at the equally gorgeous Spirit House restaurant the next day, which is a mere 15-minute drive away. From start to finish, I felt so relaxed and pampered at the Bli Bli House. We stayed in the Heritage Suite, which is absolutely beautiful with its four-poster bed, fireplace and seating area, spa bathtub, and - most charmingly - its own veranda with seating for reading plus table and chairs for dining. 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. It felt so lush, luxurious, and 'old world' as we ate our breakfast on the veranda. I have lived in Australia for ten years (I'm originally from the US) and have honestly never experienced this level of thoughtful hospitality and service at another establishment. I was impressed and would highly recommend this incredible oasis of luxury to anyone - but especially to... My husband booked an overnight stay at the Bli Bli House for my 50th birthday weekend.

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

  We stayed bli bli house for our honeymoon and it was great place to get relaxed. Everything was clean, bed was very comfortable, good size of nice spa, and having... read more breakfast in the room was awesome. I highly recommend this place to stay.

  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
