We had a lovely stay and thoroughly enjoyed it. However, a few things to note, they do not provide slippers so bring your own. They also don’t have room service which we were surprised about. We had to order food from the lounge and take it to our room which was a little bit of a trek in the wind. There is no separate car park. We parked at the zoo and dragged our luggage all the way to the hotel. We should have dropped our luggage off first as they do have a 15 minute parking area. We still had a great time and would recommend it.

This property is one of best i have stayed at. I would of given it all 5 stars, but I didn’t think the bathroom was clean enough, and the Manager ( I think) of the restaurant was rude to us, when there was a little problem with a reservation- ( nothing to do with us, and not a problem for them to fit us in) Everyone else was amazing.

It was an AMAZING experience at the Wildlife Retreat at Taronga Zoo for My Son’s Birthday Gift. From stepping into reception your Wildlife journey begins. The staff were very accommodating. The staff and the zoo keepers go above and beyond—they are such an amazing bunch of people. The lodge was an amazing place, with so many artifacts and sculptures to look at, and our rooms were so comfortable and so beautiful. The food from dinner and breakfast was delicious and the servings were large, always plenty to eat. The Dining Staff Team were just AMAZING and so ATTENTIVE, they gave my son's surprise for my son's Banana Ice Cream order and he was so Happy. It's an experience we loved and are looking forward to returning to. This is a place you would truly need to experience at least once. A big thank you to Wildlife Retreat at Taronga Zoo for this Great experience.

From the moment i checked in until the moment i collected my bags (several hourse after checkout) my stay was faultless. Every staff memeber i encountered at the retreat was fantastic, from the check in team, the Me-Gal staff and the tour giude. One of my top three hotel experiences ever! The sanctuary tour was fun and informative and do yourself a favour and book the $25 after dark zoo tour. The rooms themselves are beautiful with not only a fantastic view of the sanctuary, but also the harbour. I will definitely be back!
