Room was beautiful and the animals were much closer than expected. Dinner was great and chef catered for my individual needs though i would have liked the option of sitting with others. Breakfast was quite disappointing - pancakes were cold and not accompanied by fresh fruit as was noted on menu - excuse that there were many children who chose pancakes really didnt sit well with me.

Wonderful stay at Zoofari Lodge, Taronga Western Plains Zoo! Our stay exceeded our expectations. We loved being close to the Savannah animals grazing in front of our tent. The food is unique and superb and the staff friendly and helpful. The daily tours provided close up encounters with a number of animal species and staff were caring and knowledgeable! Highly recommend this stay and overall experience.

Incredible experience for the whole family
Amazing experience, can not recommend highly enough! The view from our patio of the animals was incredible - I have been on safari in Africa before, but this experience was just as incredible - and much easier with the kids in tow! The food was delicious, staff fantastic, and everyone we met so helpful and passionate about the work they do. They only thing I would say is it would be amazing if families with younger children could nominate a slightly earlier time for dinner and the start of the nighttime safari (appreciate this may not be possible given things need to work most of all for the animals) but the nighttime safari kicking off at 8pm made it a little tricky for some of our younger attendees to attend :) Overall though, incredible experience and one we will never forget! Thank you Taronga Western Plains Zoo.

We stayed in a lodge overlooking the Savannah and it was beautiful just to spend time watching the animals. The rooms were amazing and well kept, the guides were very knowledgeable. Grateful that such a place exists in NSW.

Everything was perfect and presented with detail. The room was spotless, the food was scrumptious, the staff offerred wonderful service. The lodge's location gave us direct view of the animals and the tours and information provided about the animals was fautless. Excellent!
