I cannot express our gratitude enough! Merryl & Phil provided such a memorable and enjoyable experience. They went above and beyond all expectations, paying attention to the smallest details like providing complimentary snacks, hotel slippers, robes and other amenities, to serving the most delicious buffet breakfast which were all inclusive. We were brought back in time and felt like we were in Venice again but from the level of care and consideration that Bli Bli House provided, we would go back there over Venice any day. We can’t recommend this property enough! The furniture and property are beautiful plus they had a cinema room, pool table, foosball table, library and so many DVD’s to choose from, all at your disposal on the top floor. They also provided so many other free snacks like an array of high tea sweets and chocolates available 24/7, plus pod coffee and drip coffee for all palates. We are so appreciative of the love and care these hosts gave us. Thank you for the best stay we’ve ever had!

We had a very relaxing stay for 2 nights in the Balmoral Suite - would love for it to have been longer. Phil and Merryl were very friendly but unobtrusive. Rooms were very well appointed, in old world luxury. Excellent cooked breakfasts delivered to your room. Lovely setting facing the river - saw a stingray in the shallow water.

From the first foot in the door, to closing the door on the way to the next trip, the stay was 1. relaxing; 2. peaceful; 3. elegant; 4. welcoming; 5. a breath of fresh air and the warmth of wonderful hosts in amongst a day's work; 6. tranquil - I could go on and on.

The walk along the boardwalk on sunset is like a meditation in itself. Absorbing nature, and the colours of the sunset on the river and the gardens.

Needless to say the room - breathtaking, comfortable (read as 'flop and relax'). Everything that you need - for work, and for relaxation - a great blend. One day I hope to get to stay there without working!

In the Sitting Room (what I call it) of an evening, with soft music playing, while you enjoy a cuppa and cake (all while doing work on the laptop) - a perfect way to unwind.
