This was our second stay and the receptionist Francine welcomed us like long lost family. We had arrived early to drop off our luggage but were able to check into our room immediately. Details on the Wildlife Retreat dining, tours, zoo pass and transportation enabled us to make the most of this unique place. Our room was well appointed, decor fitting in aboriginal design, bed very comfortable and the bonus of the three kangaroos outside our window that we could watch as they went about their day. Breakfast & dinner in the dining room with the best view of the Inner Harbour is one of many of the reasons for our return. Thanks to Cameron for driving us to the ferry and the very informative guides for the after hours zoo tours. The.best place ever!

This place was hands down amazing! Waking up every morning to see a koala bear out your window just brings happiness to your heart. The staff was kind and amazing. Having the zoo at your finger tips was the best. Worth every penny.

Fun start to our Sydney vacation.
So much fun! Woke up to a koala hanging out in the tree in front of our room each am. Great guest-only zoo night tour. Super Breakfast buffet. Traveled with 2 20 yo kids. They loved it too.

Unique hotel experience in the heart of Sydney!
A beautiful use of Sydney harbor and within the zoo. Koala’s right outside your room balcony. Can’t beat this hotel!! No downtown hotel compares. I would recommend it to anyone who plans a trip to Sydney.

Amazing amazing amazing. Staff were faultless. Room is clean, luxurious but simple. To wake each morning with a koala sitting in a tree right in front of you. We slept with the curtains & large sliding window & just savoured the moments. Restaurant Breakfast & dinner was superb

Such a beautiful spot to stay and support conservation. Every attention to detail was appreciated and I could not recommend the retreat more! Guides and staff were amazing, clean, comfortable, and eco-friendly accommodations.

The Wildlife Retreat at Taronga Zoo is in a stunning location, but our stay had some drawbacks. The room was smaller than expected, and we found small spiders, which detracted from the overall comfort. Despite booking an animal-view room, we only managed to spot one koala during our stay. While the idea of staying near wildlife is appealing, the experience didn’t quite meet expectations.
