Loved the setting of Taronga zoo. The magical views. The peace and quiet. The bird and animal noises. The native vegetation and native animals especially. Also enjoyed the two guided tours by well informed engaging staff. The meal at the restaurant was absolutely delicious - with the best view in the house👏service by drinks waiter Scott was top class. Also by hospitality. The only thing we weren’t happy with was the truely awful ?musty smell in our room (242) which we reported to reception on checking-out! Also suggested having two small swivel chairs in the room as would make it easier to watch TV (news) instead of straining one’s neck.. Thank you for having us. Lorraine McGee-Sippel and Kevin Sippel

We had a wonderful one night stay at the Wildlife Retreat. From the moment we checked in, we were well looked after and in awe of the beauty and peacefulness of this place. Breakfast was amazing - food was high quality and the view was spectacular! The only negative was the dinner we had at the lounge bar - nothing to rave about and the chicken burgers were dry and made of thigh meat (for $31 would expect breast fillet). If I knew it was thigh we wouldn’t have ordered it. The pizza was very average and way too cheesy. The wine was spot on though! Overall, would highly recommend to stay at this retreat - we loved it 😃

Highly recommend!

Highly recommend the Wildlife Retreat at Taronga Zoo. We loved everything about it! We had a sanctuary view room and enjoyed watching the koala outside our room balcony. The service and tours were great. Dinner at Me-Gal was excellent, and drinks from the bay in the lobby lounge were good too.

Great but would only go once.

Service was excellent and of course staying at zoo is amazing experience. Though couch in our room was filthy and air con has limited settings. It’s expensive but the money is going to animals so I’m guessing that’s why, because I’d never pay a price like this for the room type. The personal tours were great.

Loved staying overnight at the zoo. Everything was clean and eco friendly. The included private tour was informative. The added night tour and animal encounters were definitely worth it and goes to a good cause.

We had a lovely stay and thoroughly enjoyed it. However, a few things to note, they do not provide slippers so bring your own. They also don’t have room service which we were surprised about. We had to order food from the lounge and take it to our room which was a little bit of a trek in the wind. There is no separate car park. We parked at the zoo and dragged our luggage all the way to the hotel. We should have dropped our luggage off first as they do have a 15 minute parking area. We still had a great time and would recommend it.
