We had the most amazing stay. Staff went out of their way to make sure everything was in place. Room was amazing and Koalas were outside our window. The guided tours of the zoo at night was brilliant.

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!
