This is an amazing place and experience like no other. Amazing architecture and obvious thought and consideration going into every decorating detail. Unlike others we had a terrific experience with dinner service. It is only held back by mediocre breakfast service with no one clearing dishes or asking for additional drink orders. There is also visible garbage bins in the alley next to the room access that could easily be covered with a bamboo cover.

We booked 3 x rooms to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. The venue and experience was more than expected!! The check-in was smooth and hassle-free. We were offered a complimentary night tour of the zoo as well as the sanctuary tour that same afternoon. Breakfast menu had variety and quality. Restaurant staff were courteous and polite - except 1 who spoilt the morning breakfast service.

We had an amazing stay. Waking up with the koalas was unreal. We would enjoy time in the lobby looking over the city. I participated in the night tour and saw more animals out and about in the cool air. Really enjoyed our stay and found the buses were convenient for getting out to beaches like Manly and Balmoral. Not only is the food fantastic, the restaurant has an even better view of the harbour!

This is an amazing hotel and I’m so thankful we discovered it and didn’t stay at a downtown location. Convenient location with beautiful views. You can literally walk off the property and straight into the zoo. There is also a convenient ferry to Sydney located at the zoo entrance. We had several koalas in the tree directly off our room along with other fun Australian critters. The staff is the best and everyone was very helpful. A young lady at the front desk named Izzy went out of her way to answer our many questions. She’s a great employee and needs to be on the board of directors or at least get a huge raise. This is an amazing hotel and I highly recommend it for a 3-4 day vacation.
