Great family overnight stay
This was an amazing experience from start to finish. The room was comfortable and we had a sanctuary view, we woke up to a koala in the tree outside our window! The lounge area had gorgeous views of the harbor and opera house and the direct access to the zoo was a huge bonus. We opted for a night tour which I highly recommend as some of the animals are more active at night. Overall this was an unforgettable experience and we'd highly recommend.

Beautiful Retreat in the Taronga Zoo
This is the most amazing place I have ever stayed at, and i travel a lot. It's just beautiful, everyone friendly & helpful, so modern & comfortable. It is inside the Taronga zoo & non profit so it supports the zoo animals. AND there is a koala sleeping right outside my window!!!

My daughters and I loved our stay at Wildlife Retreat. We really enjoyed the Sanctuary and morning tour that were included in our stay. Our favourite part of the stay was the after-hours Night Safari tour! It was worth the extra $25pp! Loved the buffet breakfast and dinner at Me-Gal too! Thank you, Taronga Zoo team for making our stay memorable! :)

Excellent service from all the staff at the retreat. They seem really passionate about what they do. Stayed at the animal view room and we were able to see a koala right outside our room. There were echidnas and wallabies roaming around too. Guests at the hotel also get complimentary entrance to the zoo which was awesome. The view at Me Gal was superb as we were able to see Sydney bridge and the Opera House.

What a magical place! We loved watching a koala outside of our beautiful animal view room every day. The private tours were especially enjoyable and informative, led by guides who are clearly passionate about wildlife and global conservation efforts. The breakfast buffet was outstanding, as was the view of Sydney from Me-Gal. We were impressed with every part of our stay. I will be missing this special place and recommending it to everyone I know considering a trip to the area!
