  The location, the style, the room, the compliments and the hospitality. This one of the best stays we've had in Queensland in a long time. The decor is divine, furnished... read more and designed to resemble a victorian property sending you back in time to relax and unwind. Phil and Merryl are fantastic. Merryl gave us a lovely warm welcome telling us the history of the house and even a couple of treats from the sweets cart. We had a beautiful spacious room, very comfortable bed, a large veranda overlooking the river and a nice hot spa bath.

Breakfast was delicious, we will definitely be back longer than one night. The perfect place for a romantic getaway. Thank you.

  We stayed at Bli Bli House which was an immaculate tastefully decorated eye feasting facility so close to many important places in Sunshine coast, yet we felt highly secluded inside... read more the house situated on a beautiful and serine river bank,

Merryl’s hospitality is was very touching, we felt that we know her for a long time, she was kind , generous and very welcoming to us.
Phil is obviously a great guy and multitalented and Merryl said most of the fabulous interior decoration was his personal taste and input.
Unfortunately due to our short stay we couldn’t talk to him much but he made us a very tasty breakfast along with pots of coffee and tea, promptly delivered to our rooms.
We also took a friend aling with us who came from Sydney , he was so impressed with the whole experience.
We are planning return back to the place as soon as we get our next chance and strongly recommend this place for any one who loves a victorian style grandeur.

  Wow! Wo only needed an overnight stay and Bli Bli house looked good online .
WOW! What a surprise, this was the best part of our holiday.
The Victorian house... read more is set on picturesque grounds backing onto the riverbank, so relaxing. Elegantly furnished guest lounge with complimentary cakes and sweets and a chess set (we had a couple of games) Upstairs was the games room with old world charm and even a mini grand piano at the entrance of the house. The suite was beautifully furnished with a large four poster bed with the softest sheets, a kitchenette and even a fireplace The host’s Phil and Merryl were very welcoming and the house was luxurious and extremely clean. The special little treats and delicious cooked breakfast was brought to us on a silver trolley which made us feel like VIP’s. We have stayed in many B&B’s and hotels around the world and this would have to have been the most beautiful. We absolutely love Bli Bli house and will be back, to be spoilt once again. More

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

  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!

  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.

  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.

  What a lovely stay. A step back in time to enjoy all the fine touches. We really felt like we were in our own home. Delicious breakfast on... read more the front deck which literally is served on a silver platter. We enjoyed cheese and wine down on the river in the afternoon to watch the sunset, played chess in the yard. Enjoying the magnificence of this beautiful home.
Walking around the rooms freely - you’ll find a library - pool table and a media room with a projector. A candy trolly that’s always full. Many antiques and vintage paraphernalia throughout. The rooms are beautiful and the beds super comfy. Strawberries & Chocolate left as a surprise at our door. It’s all about the little touches.
There are plenty of places to dine close buy - Teppanyaki was a favourite.
Meryl and Phil are incredibly Host.
Next time we’ll take a room on the riverside. Thank you for sharing your home. More
