The room was clean and comfortable with a nice out look of part of the zoo with resident Kangaroos. It was nice to access to the Zoo and the location of being able to jump on the Ferry to get around and access to buses was great. Food at the Restaurant was beautiful and view amazing.

We got the animal view room and it was great. The koala was well in sight and felt very private besides just seeing a few people on the sanctuary tour but that was still fine. Facilities were nice and great access to the zoo
