Incredible property, wonderful staff, tours of the zoo and sanctuary are great. A unique and beautiful as well as restful way to stay in Sydney. The ferry at the zoo is a convenient way to get directly to Sydney proper. Would stay again.

Truly a beautiful experience... Highly recommend it. The included tour was such an unforgettable experience to get closer with some of the animals and learn their names and histories. I would very much encourage you to also take the after hours tour which was so worth it as an add-on. Room was comfortable, quiet, well maintained, and had a great view of a koala. I loved that I could break up my walking at the zoo over 2 days, even though I had checked out already! Amazing view of the city from Me-Gal and the lounge area. Thank you to all the staff.

Unique hotel experience—we would have loved to have stayed longer. Our room overlooked the sanctuary area of the zoo and we watched a koala, echidnas, wallabies and other wildlife from our room. The rate included a tour of the sanctuary, which was excellent, entry to the zoo, parking, and a lovely breakfast buffet in the stunning Ma Gel restaurant. Service was excellent, staff members were friendly and helpful, the zoo is wonderful and bed was comfortable. A beautifully appointed room and special experience.

Staffs are super friendly and helpful. The room is beyond expectations (Treetop) You can enjoy walking around the zoo on the daytime and don't forget experience a nightwalk zoo tour after closeing hour (must try!) Excellent buffet breakfast, Dinner is average as what you pay for and not many choices (but you can order delivery from other sources outside) It's a great experience overall.

Lovely stay and beautiful facility. I was thinking it would be more like a refuge/safari type experience than a zoo so that was pretty disappointing, but we did have a koala right outside our window in the morning that made the stay worth every penny. He was so fun to watch play in the trees. The views from this property… especially in the lobby and dinning room are to die for. Would be the perfect spot to ring in the New Year and enjoy the full harbor view! Breakfast was fairly simple but good. Beds were comfy and clean. Overall, just lovely especially if you’re a young family spending lots of time at the zoo. The only thing that could have made it better is a pool or hot tub on property!

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.

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.
