Beautiful property, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Friendly staff and delicious breakfast. Plenty of free snacks in the room and around the place but being coeliac unfortunately I couldn’t eat any of them so would have been nice if there were a few healthier options.

Beautiful property and guest rooms. Bli Bli House has been lovingly restored, with many, many beautiful, authentic touches. Rooms are very luxurious, yet have all the modern facilities needed. Wonderful hosts. Very private rooms, beautiful outlook over the river. Grounds of Bli Bli House are very quiet and beautiful to walk around or just sit and take in the gorgeous surrounds.

This is a beautiful heritage property that has been decorated to give the feeling of having stepped back in time, while still having a microwave, internet and Netflix. Beautiful Petrie Creek frontage. Breakfast was delicious and generous. Lots of complementary treats to bring a smile. We had a lovely weekend there.

Good Lord, I need more stars to rate this property! It is breathtaking. The owners have put so much attention to detail into every aspect of this property. Every room is beautiful, the service is excellent, the food is both delicious and never ending (we kept finding more sweet treats everywhere!), the gardens are relaxing and beautifully designed, the bed was wonderfully comfortable. The whole experience was a step back to another world of manners, style and luxury. I can't wait to go back.

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 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! Thank you.

Put Bli Bli Riverside Retreat on your Bucket List
What a treat,Bli Bli house should be on the bucket list for travelers to Queensland, especially if you appreciate Old World Charm. Upon arrival Merril greeted us very warmly gave us loads of information regarding places to see and things to do. Breakfast each day was delicious and took into consideration my dietary needs. Treats in abundance in our room and in the shared space for guests. Location is superb. The decor at Bli Bli house is second to none. It is also well situated to the BliBli shopping precinct and a short 15minute drive to Maroochydore. Many places of interest to visit such at the Castle, the Maze and a relaxing and informative ferry trip to Noosa. We will be returning in the not too distant future.
