A Queensland mother and her 14-year-old daughter have died in Bali, just hours after checking into their hotel.

A MOTHER and daughter who tragically died while holidaying in Bali have been described as "best friends" who did everything together by their family.

Noelene Gay Bischoff, 54, and Yvana Jeana Yuri Bischoff, 14, from Wurtulla on the Sunshine Coast, died after falling ill from suspected food poisoning early yesterday.

Noelene's mother Jean Bischoff said the pair were inseparable.

"They were so close, they lived for each other, they had a beautiful relationship," she said.

"Noelene worked so hard to make sure Yvana had everything she needed.

"Yvana was such a bright young lady, she was always getting As at school, she wanted to be a vet."

Overnight it was reported: A QUEENSLAND mother and her teenage daughter died yesterday in separate ambulances just one day after arriving in Bali on holiday.

Noelene Gay Bischoff and daughter Yvana Jeana Yuri Bischoff have tragically died in Bali.

The pair checked in to the Padang Bai Beach Resort in Karangasem, east Bali, on Friday for a two-day holiday.

Resort manager Vanni Bareato last night told The Sunday Mail the mother and daughter had spent the evening in Ubud before returning to the hotel at 8pm.

Five hours later a violently ill Yvana was desperately begging security staff for help, saying both she and her mother were ill in their room.

The mother was dead within 15 minutes, passing away en route to a nearby medical clinic. Yvana was taken in a separate ambulance to the Bali International medical clinic in Denpasar.

Mr Bareato followed Yvana to hospital, where he spent time comforting her

"Don't worry, we are here, we are taking care of you, we are taking you to the hospital," he told the distraught teen.

While at the hospital Mr Bareato was asked to return to the resort to collect the pair's passports.

"By the time I came back to get the passport I received a phone call that the mother was unfortunately deceased and the daughter was not on the right path," he said.

The teenager died a short time later.

"We run a small resort of 30 people and this has never happened," Mr Bareato said. "You cannot be prepared for something like this. It's unbelievable.

"We are shocked. Someone might have a heart attack or a stroke, but nothing like this."

Mr Bareato said the pair had told him they had both been vomiting but when he inspected their room looking for the passports he found no sign of any sickness.

"What we know from the taxi driver is they were already feeling sick," he said.

"This is what the taxi driver said to police.''

Noelene's niece and Yvana's cousin Grasienne Bischoff said the family were shattered by the deaths.

"Yvana and Aunty Noelene were very close, they did everything together. This was just another one of their adventures they had planned that wasn't supposed to end this way,'' she said.

"My immediate family are bitterly shocked by the trauma, we cannot believe it ourselves. We just ask for support from close family and friends at this time.''

Puts Darsana, manager at the Penta Medical Clinic in Karangasem, said the mother had died in the ambulance on the way to his clinic.

Police sources have told The Sunday Mail that Ms Bischoff and her daughter may have suffered a food allergy. Officers seized medicines, found in their hotel room, from Australia, which have been sent to the lab for analysis.

Late yesterday police arrived at Sanglah Hospital but autopsies are not expected to be conducted until tomorrow.

Padang Bai is a coastal resort on the eastern side of Bali, about 90 minutes' drive from Denpasar.
