Highly recommend!

Highly recommend the Wildlife Retreat at Taronga Zoo. We loved everything about it! We had a sanctuary view room and enjoyed watching the koala outside our room balcony. The service and tours were great. Dinner at Me-Gal was excellent, and drinks from the bay in the lobby lounge were good too.

The hotel stay and views of the harbour were excellent.
Rachael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great but would only go once.

Service was excellent and of course staying at zoo is amazing experience. Though couch in our room was filthy and air con has limited settings. It’s expensive but the money is going to animals so I’m guessing that’s why, because I’d never pay a price like this for the room type. The personal tours were great.

This was the most amazing hotel! There was a koala right outside our room. The hotel was easy to access by ferry and bus. We LOVED it.

10/10 Exceptional

Surprised how much I enjoyed staying at the wildlife sanctuary. Comfortable room, great lounge area with spectacular views. Dinner at the restaurant was good, portions could have been more generous but the overall experience was lovely. Also amazing views. We enjoyed wandering around the zoo and the after hours tour was fun. Overall an iconic Sydney experience, ideal for visitors and locals alike.

A really wonderful stay!

I absolutely loved staying here, so much better than I expected. Our room was calming, clean and comfortable just what we wanted. The view of the kangaroos from our room was uniquely brilliant and the whole vibe in the hotel was awesome. Breakfast and dinner were great with exceptional harbour views. Then the access to the zoo is super easy and I enjoyed the guided tour parts too! Can't recommend enough and it is all for charity which is even better!

DO NOT MISS THIS EXPERIENCE

A unique experience staying inside the zoo. Free zoo access, VIP access to the animal refuge (with guide) and special night tour of zoo, amazing view of Sydney, excellent breakfast buffet, and a koala bear nested just out of arms reach of my open window. Highlight of our week in Sydney.
JOSEPH, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The wildlife retreat was the highlight of our entire trip. We love visiting Taronga zoo and having enough time to explore over two days was great. The hotel is beautiful with amazing views and the staff are super friendly. Loved the little tour of the animals in the hotel grounds. Such a beautiful stay!

10/10 Exceptional

The best place I’ve ever stayed. Loved it as an adult and the kids were blown away! Have stayed in Sydney many times and loved being this side of the harbour without even taking into account the awesomeness of being in the retreat surrounded by animals. I highly recommend!
