Pontoon Boat (April 2022)

We have bought a pontoon boat so we can explore the river in style. We have created a package where our guests can be driven along the river while enjoying a Devonshire tea. This is certainly weather permitting and diver availability as well.

Our hosts have an eye to please their guests... read more in their idyllic setting on the banks of Petrie creek. Despite the wet weather we had no real reason to leave our comfortable surrounds and enjoyed time looking at the views from our own private veranda. A great range to chose from on the breakfast menu which was delivered to our room each morning. The touching surprise was the silver plate with two forks, sliced strawberries, dipping chocolate sauce and two red heart chocolates waiting on our arrival back from dinner. The only disappointment was it didn't happen the second night when we were so looking forward to this special treat. A memorable stay for our 47th anniversary surrounded by delightful décor that certainly added charm and elegance. Worthy of giving this accommodation 5 stars. More

  • star rating  We wanted a half-way spot between the Gold Coast and Harvey bay, and found Bli Bli House, and 1870’s lovingly restored luxury B&B that was a destination in itself.... read more /> The hosts were lovely, but not intrusive - a difficult balance done well.
    Plenty to do and see around and in the property. Make sure you leave a few hours to explore !
    Check-in and out were relaxed, and we throughly enjoyed the time there.

  • star rating  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.
