This hotel was awesome! We booked an animal room and had three koalas living right outside our room the entire time! The views are amazing of Sydney! The zoo itself is also very nice and had a wide array of animals. I think this is a hidden gem and encourage anyone to highly consider it!

The entire experience was amazing! Easy check in with wonderful friendly staff, room was clean and faced right onto koala enclosure. Wheelchair accessible room was great for my husband who uses a manual wheelchair. Restaurant Me-Gal was amazing and views are priceless from restaurant and main reception/lounge area. Would highly recommend

The staff were excellent and the rooms were good. The accommodation included guided walks and breakfast. The drinks from the bar were pricey and the breakfast was not as good as a previous stay, with less fruit and toast spread options, bain-marie not that exciting and not particularly hot, not replacing items for guests that were having a later breakfast. The coffee was good. The breakfast chairs were worn and marked.

The rooms were beautiful, and the hotel’s décor gave off a fun Jurassic Park vibe—minus the dinosaurs. We especially enjoyed the lounge and bar with its stunning river and city views. The staff were friendly and helpful, and having exclusive access to explore the zoo before and after hours was a fantastic bonus.

This was one of the most amazing experiences we had while in Australia! The breakfast was amazing, they had a buffet and you could also order from their menu. We had a koala in a tree right outside our room! The retreat gave us a pass to come and go freely within the wildlife park, and it is quite expansive. We took a night time tour where we got to see animals we would not have gotten to see during the day, and also took a behind the scenes tour during the day where we saw various wallabies and got to hear about the inner workings of the wildlife park. I would 100% recommend!
