Awesome experience sleeping surrounded by Aussie wildlife. Staff could not be more helpful. Sanctuary and nocturnal walks a must! Dining overlooking Sydney Harbour was magnificent. Highly recommend.

Most wonderful stay at the retreat
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.

The room was amazing. View of the Kangaroos outside the my sliding door/window. Gorgeous view of the city from the lobby balcony. All the zoo perks. Nature everywhere. Highly recommend. You can take the ferry from the zoo into circular quay by the Opera House (12 min) ride.

The Wildlife Retreat at Taronga is the best ever! We enjoyed zoo access, night time zoo tour, and sanctuary tour (inner courtyard of the hotel is an animal sanctuary with 2 or 3 koalas and a number of wallaby related marsupials, echidnas and birds. Staff at this non-profit wildlife facility are there because they are passionate, which comes across in ALL of their work. Facility is just 5 years old and brilliantly maintained. The room layouts are contemporary - not large, but brilliantly designed. We enjoyed an animal view room (looking into the sanctuary), but others with zoo views were similarly enthused by their accommodations. The lobby/lounge is breathtaking. Our booking included a great breakfast each day, zoo admission, zoo and sanctuary tours.

Hotel is super nice and the staff is super friendly. The highlight is the sanctuary where you can see Australian animals like echidnas, wallabies, and koalas running around. Highly recommend.

The reception lounge is a convenient central place to meet with others or wait to be collected for your tour, well equipped with bar, inside/outside areas and the most amazing view of the Sydney harbor. Our rooms were lovely with a great view over the Australian animals area, we had a koala outside the window and an echidna walking around in view outside. Well equipped rooms with quality features and fixtures. Staff were amazing.

Best place ever to stay!! The wildlife preserve was amazing and when staying there you got to go to animal feedings and tour at night with a guide using a red light that doesn’t hurt the animals eyes. Food there was wonderful. You could walk through the zoo to get a ferry to Sydney. Best views of Sydney from the zoo. 5 stars all around!
