Cottage 2

  We stayed with our hosts, Merryl and Phil at Bli Bli house for several months. Breakfasts were nothing short of splendid, always cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. We were... read more treated as valued guests where nothing was too much trouble and where we were transported back to a time where good conversation and company could be enjoyed. The convenience of the coffee machine, fridge and microwave in the room were supplemented by complimentary cakes, chocolates and other treats. Thank you for a wonderful stay where we were able to recharge in a quiet location with river views.

  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 for a couple of nights and didn’t want to leave. Beautiful house and grounds, the best hosts, the breakfast brought to your room on a trolley was... read more amazing. The little touches like free snacks, chocolates and tea and coffee in your room and the trolley of help yourself to as many yummy cakes and lollies as you can eat in the lounge is irresistible.
We can absolutely recommend staying here and we will definitely be back.
Treat yourself to an amazing experience.

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.

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

  This house and hosts are amazing. There are little treats thrown in to the price, yum yum. Compliments to the chef on breakfast. It is a quiet setting, where you... read more can pretend to be Lord, and Lady of the Manor. Attention to detail, and cleanliness, were abundant. Thanks Meryl, and Phil for the great stay.

  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
