⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Another Wonderful Stay at the Wildlife Retreat, Taronga Zoo My stays at the Wildlife Retreat at Taronga Zoo are always exceptional, and this visit was no different. Everything—from the warm welcome at reception to the beautifully presented rooms and the peaceful surroundings—was excellent all round. A special thank you to Jane at reception for her friendly and professional service, and to Helen and Audrey, the zoo guides, for their wonderful knowledge and engaging tours. Their passion and care truly make the experience memorable. Excellent service, comfortable stay, and an unforgettable connection with the animals as always. I look forward to returning again soon!

I booked a animal view room but somehow i can see the harbour bridge in my room as well. I can enjoy the view of both koala n harbour bridge, great value for money. But the $25 added tour is not as good as i expected, can skip.
View from room in the morning, koala and the bridge
Cutie Koala just outside your window
Nice view from the lounge

Twiddle to Koala was right outside my room. I had a great experience with the private tour of the sanctuary was a nice treat. The oysters at the restaurant are the best I’ve ever had - don’t skip out on those! Breakfast was also so delicious, get there at 7 when it opens to snag a good view of the sunrise.

Every thing was perfect except the staff came across as too pretentious. Would I go back, definitely, but I’ll avoid the staff as much as possible.

This is an amazing place and experience like no other. Amazing architecture and obvious thought and consideration going into every decorating detail. Unlike others we had a terrific experience with dinner service. It is only held back by mediocre breakfast service with no one clearing dishes or asking for additional drink orders. There is also visible garbage bins in the alley next to the room access that could easily be covered with a bamboo cover.

We booked 3 x rooms to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. The venue and experience was more than expected!! The check-in was smooth and hassle-free. We were offered a complimentary night tour of the zoo as well as the sanctuary tour that same afternoon. Breakfast menu had variety and quality. Restaurant staff were courteous and polite - except 1 who spoilt the morning breakfast service.
