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.
