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.
