This was a wonderful hotel. Great staff and service. Unfortunately we had animal view rooms, but the koala never moved by the windows of either of our rooms. One suggestion would be more food options for kids on the menu.

Check in was quick and efficient. We arrived at 12.00 and was pleasantly surprised that our room was ready. The room was comfortable and clean. Access into the Zoo was via your room key and the retreat had its own entry so you could come and go as you pleased. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend a stay.

Staying at the retreat was amazing and one of those core memories that we will forever treasure with our kids. I love what they are doing and how our stay is contributing to the zoo's conservation efforts. Every penny was worth it and for a great cause too. If you're still thinking, don't. Book it now. Very convenient location to the zoo and we feel special too because they recognize the lanyards given by the hotel. The sanctuary tour was a treat and the breakfast with a view was heaven on earth. We hope to be back soon. I heard it is hard to book when the locals heard us that we're staying at the property. We were more than lucky!

An awesome experience.
This property is one of the most beautiful I have ever stayed at. Listening to the animals at night really completed the experience. And seeing kangaroos from our window was spectacular. The food was great and the Zoo was amazing.

Highlight of our trip!
We had an amazing stay! This was the highlight of our trip to Australia! We decided on the animal view room and to be honest I wasn't expecting that we may not see any animals from our room during our stay. Well we had a koala right outside our room during the entire stay! The entire staff from the bartender, front desk staff and the zoo tour guides were amazing! The lounge has a spectacular view of the Sydney Harbour and it is especially at sunset. We had a tour of the zoo before it opened to the public and the tour guides were so friendly and informative. You can tell how much the animals and conservation means to them.
