10/10 Exceptional

A really wonderful stay!

I absolutely loved staying here, so much better than I expected. Our room was calming, clean and comfortable just what we wanted. The view of the kangaroos from our room was uniquely brilliant and the whole vibe in the hotel was awesome. Breakfast and dinner were great with exceptional harbour views. Then the access to the zoo is super easy and I enjoyed the guided tour parts too! Can't recommend enough and it is all for charity which is even better!

Chelsea, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The best place I’ve ever stayed. Loved it as an adult and the kids were blown away! Have stayed in Sydney many times and loved being this side of the harbour without even taking into account the awesomeness of being in the retreat surrounded by animals. I highly recommend!
Jo, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had such a great stay at Wildlife Retreat at Taronga! The staff are so friendly and helpful. The zoo is so wonderful and has so many amazing animals to see. The on-site restaurants are all fantastic! There is also a ferry at the bottom of the zoo that goes right to Circular Quay and that is super convenient. Overall, a great hotel and such a unique place to stay!
