Great family overnight stay
This was an amazing experience from start to finish. The room was comfortable and we had a sanctuary view, we woke up to a koala in the tree outside our window! The lounge area had gorgeous views of the harbor and opera house and the direct access to the zoo was a huge bonus. We opted for a night tour which I highly recommend as some of the animals are more active at night. Overall this was an unforgettable experience and we'd highly recommend.

Beautiful Retreat in the Taronga Zoo
This is the most amazing place I have ever stayed at, and i travel a lot. It's just beautiful, everyone friendly & helpful, so modern & comfortable. It is inside the Taronga zoo & non profit so it supports the zoo animals. AND there is a koala sleeping right outside my window!!!

This was a wonderful hotel. Great staff and service. Unfortunately we had animal view rooms, but the koala never moved by the windows of either of our rooms. One suggestion would be more food options for kids on the menu.

Check in was quick and efficient. We arrived at 12.00 and was pleasantly surprised that our room was ready. The room was comfortable and clean. Access into the Zoo was via your room key and the retreat had its own entry so you could come and go as you pleased.
We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend a stay.
