- Kristian (8/5): elegant, discrete and quiet - it was great . very low key and elegant location was a bit far but also quiet
- Jesse (10/5): Worth your time - Let's start with the beautiful fireplace awaiting us in our room, accompanied by the gorgeous lighting, therefore creating the perfect ambience during our story. Our romantic night included a viewing of Moulin Rouge in absolute comfort.
The little things are what makes Bli Bli memorable, such as the snack trolley, breakfast service, and the upstairs entertainment retreat. Everything, down to the last detail feels well thought out.
Merryl's welcoming nature as soon as we walked through the door allowed us to feel at home. For all these reasons we thank Merryl and her husband Phil. The pictures here on booking.com do not do this place justice. It is completely unbelievably gorgeous!
- Patricia (9/5): -
- Mellissa (9/5): Our stay was enjoyable just loved the heritage feel and look of the house. - The atmosphere and antique furniture. Loved having breakfast ready in the mornings. Lovely staff. The entrance was hard to find.
- Emily (10/5): -
- Caitlin (10/5): -
- Best (10/5): Wundervoll, müsst ihr mal probieren, das Geld lohnt sich. - Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und das Hotel was sehr außergewöhnlich. Es war extrem sauber, die Atmosphäre ist wirklich wie zuhause, es ist groß aber auch nicht zu groß. Die Zimmer sind sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet, überall sind kleine gratis Snacks versteckt. Es gibt einen Spieleraum mit Billiard etc., und einen wunderschönen Garten. Das richtige Wort für diese Unterkunft ist definitiv Königlich! Man fühlt sich einfach wohl und die Betten im Zimmer sind mit Sicherheit gemütlicher als zuhause. Ich musste mir sogar die Matratze abfotografieren weil ich nicht glaube konnte, wie gut ich nach meinem Schlaf wach geworden bin. Das kostenlose Frühstück war außerm auch ein Träumchen. Alles was man sich vorstellen kann und liebevoll selbst zubereitet.
- Kristian (9/5): Secluded peaceful and special - Attention to detail and real hospitality- not corporate falsity Nothing
- Cherie (10/5): Gorgeous B&B. - From the first step in at the front door, we were enveloped in an era of old world charm and romance. The house, the grounds, the owners, they were all fantastic. Oh, and breakfast was the bomb.
We'll be back for sure. We missed the driveway once. There wasn't a sign facing the direction we were coming from. There is one sign and its only visible from one direction.
- Karina (10/5): Ideal mini getaway - Wonderful host. The bed was so comfortable and the breakfast was amazing. I loved the outlook over the balcony. Wonderful stay. I hope to be back.
- Jayden (10/5): -
- Yu-hsiang (10/5): - 乾淨 清切隨時有甜點
- Ross (10/5): -
- deb (9/5): - We enjoyed the quiet atmosphere in the otherwise bustling north coast, close enough to the attractions but far enough away to thoroughly relax.
- Theresa (9/5): -
- Jill (10/5): Excellent in every respect. -
- David (10/5): -
- Shannia-Jordyn (10/5): - The customer service was great! Such a beautiful retreat ran by such a beautiful couple!

- Tabitha (10/5): Exceptional -
- Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Luciano (10/5): An amazing place for the best relaxation - Booking.com Everything perfect
- Claudio (10/5): Fantastic!!! - Everything. The hosts are amazing and the value for money is top
- Anna (10/5): Exceptional -
- John (10/5): Extremely calming and relaxing environment, truly a unique beautiful property. - Attention to detail and lots of little treats and special touches to the rooms, the breakfast delivered to our rooms was delicious the whole experience was extremely comfortable and welcoming. The Owners were passionate about their unique accommodation experience . You could see and experience the love and dedication they both had towards the property. We loved everything 🙌 …….
but if you could leave the doors to the balcony open(no mozi /insect screen) you could listen to the rain and the birds singing in the morning whilst snuggled in the most comfy bed..
COULDNT COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING 🤩
- Schoenacher (9/5): Superb -
- Melissa (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect for a quiet get away. Limited rooms so very private. Room was amazing and lovely little touches Nil
- Rita (9/5): Wonderful welcome from owners whose hospitality was amazing. - Unique and very interesting property with beautiful furniture and decor The only thing I’d change is I’d have fly screen on balcony door so door could be left open for fresh air. I know fly screens do not fit in with Victorian style.
- Sione (10/5): Amazing, awesome, homely. The best stay ever. - My husband and I have a busy personal and working lives. Staying at Bli Bli House was exactly what we needed. Meryl is the ultimate hostess. She is welcoming and makes you feel like coming home. As my parents live overseas, it was a lovely nostalgic feeling to feel like you're visiting family. The facility is absolutely gorgeous. I recommend if you want some R & R and meet generally good and wonderful people, do not hesitate to book a weekend or a week at Bli Bli House, you won't regret it. There was nothing not to like.
- Jemima (10/5): Peaceful retreat which felt very luxurious - Clean, beautifully furnished, personal Nothing
- Kathy (8/5): Very good - Staff are very friendly and welcoming Bed was a little soft for me but still comfortable
- Ella (10/5): Exceptional - This was a really enjoyable stay. It was exactly as described and we had a beautiful room overlooking the river. The extra facilities within the room could not be faulted, it had lots of little extra's and the hosts have really thought of everything.
The breakfast was fit for royalty and Phil did an amazing job; you could tell he was a professional chef. There was so much choice and the baby quiche were to die for.
Friendly, welcoming and a unique one in a kind guest house; my husband and I could not recommend Bli Bli guest house enough. You will not be disappointed. We will definitely be visiting again!
On another note, we accidentally left an item in the room and the guest house went above and beyond to return the item to us; which was way out of the scope of what they needed to do. Nothing.
- Deborah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ravineshwar (9/5): A very good stay. - Breakfast was really nice. The staffs were really good. Location was superb. The damp smell. Might be linked to recent cyclone.
- James (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing rooms and facilities, especially outdoor area and complimentary sweets trolley!
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
- Darren (10/5): - We would recommend Bli Bli House to anyone who needs a getaway that is fantastic. The way Merrill and Phil treat you is truly amazing. We have never felt more relaxed and truly spoiled.
- Cherryl (10/5): Lovey relaxing and the food was delicious - Owners where very accommodating and the rooms are beautiful
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - The retreat is beautifully presented, clean and comfortable
- Julie (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful decor and close to river.
- Tabitha (10/5): Exceptional - The hosts were so accommodating and thoughtful
- Ange_keithl1955 (10/5): Ultimate Luxury - Most highly recommended. Old style ultimate luxury and all the extra care and little touches made a very memorable stay. No expenses spared to ensure guests every comfort was met. The location was perfect for a quiet peaceful weekend. Leaving and going back to modern reality.
- David (9/5): Superb -
- Michelle (8/5): Very good -
- Prema (10/5): Exceptional -
- Richard (10/5): Perfect, exceptional, beyond our wildest dreams - Right from our first contact we were welcomed like family. The house was wonderfully decorated and our room was a super size, comfortable and had everything we needed - even some special treats. The lolly and slice trolley in the guest lounge was always stocked with wonderful items. The buffet breakfast was superb as was the breakfast delivered on the trolley on Monday morning. The location on the riverbank was perfect and there was plenty of seating along the riverbank. The views from our private veranda was another special treat. We didn't like having to leave - but if you don't leave you can't come back next time!!
- Bernadette (10/5): Just Lovely - Serene setting by the river. Beautiful historic house restored with period features. High standard of furnishings and decor. Rooms spacious with sitting area, kitchenette, four poster bed, large ensuite and balcony overlooking the river. High standard of cleanliness. Common lounge area available with coffee machine and a well stocked cake trolley of goodies. Very nice owner. Bed too firm for my liking but that is a personal preference.
- Sarah (10/5): Perfect hosts, location, accommodation, and exceptional food. - Very quaint and authentic decor. Extra touches e.g sweets and snacks complimentary in our room and access to a dessert trolley in the communal area. No comment
- Nadine (10/5): Truly enjoyable. - Everything. From the first moment we stepped onto the property we were made to feel welcome. Merryl showed us around and was so friendly and the homestead was a pleasure to be in. The breakfasts cooked by Phill were delicious and we will be recommending this experience to all our friends. Nothing.
- Grant (10/5): Fantastic stay for a night with your significant other, especially if you like an amazing breakfast. - The breakfast exceeded expectations; so good! What we really appreciated were all the little extra touches and goodies that made you feel welcome. The bed was very comfortable and the common areas were a delight to explore. If you're sensitive to dust, you may struggle a bit. As you might expect with this opulent décor, there are many fabrics/surfaces for dust to build up on.
