The Wildlife Retreat at Taronga is the best ever! We enjoyed zoo access, night time zoo tour, and sanctuary tour (inner courtyard of the hotel is an animal sanctuary with 2 or 3 koalas and a number of wallaby related marsupials, echidnas and birds. Staff at this non-profit wildlife facility are there because they are passionate, which comes across in ALL of their work. Facility is just 5 years old and brilliantly maintained. The room layouts are contemporary - not large, but brilliantly designed. We enjoyed an animal view room (looking into the sanctuary), but others with zoo views were similarly enthused by their accommodations. The lobby/lounge is breathtaking. Our booking included a great breakfast each day, zoo admission, zoo and sanctuary tours.

Hotel is super nice and the staff is super friendly. The highlight is the sanctuary where you can see Australian animals like echidnas, wallabies, and koalas running around. Highly recommend.

The reception lounge is a convenient central place to meet with others or wait to be collected for your tour, well equipped with bar, inside/outside areas and the most amazing view of the Sydney harbor. Our rooms were lovely with a great view over the Australian animals area, we had a koala outside the window and an echidna walking around in view outside. Well equipped rooms with quality features and fixtures. Staff were amazing.

Best place ever to stay!! The wildlife preserve was amazing and when staying there you got to go to animal feedings and tour at night with a guide using a red light that doesn’t hurt the animals eyes. Food there was wonderful. You could walk through the zoo to get a ferry to Sydney. Best views of Sydney from the zoo. 5 stars all around!

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!
