Animal view room.
We stayed just 1 night but got to the hotel about 5 hrs prior to check in time. We couldn't go to the room then but were assigned a room and were able to go on a guided tour of the zoo before it opened and then spend our extra time at the zoo (admission included in price). We were able to leave our luggage with the staff and they took it to our room once it was ready. The breakfast is fantastic and so is the view from the restaurant. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We were able to see a couple animals from our room close to dusk and then in the early morning. The best one being the Koala named Matteo, who came to a tree that was right outside our room. Even though the price is high, i was able to use one of my hotels.com $100 gift card that i got from credit card points. So the final.cost was good considering everything that was included (zoo access, tour, breakfast, parking and animal view). Dinner at the restaurant is pricey but there are dining options that are just a short drive from the hotel. The surrounding area is very safe, quiet and beautiful. Wish we had more time in our trip since we would have spent more time at the zoo to see everything there.

An amazing and unforgettable experience!
It was AMAZING! Getting to stay beside of a kola's favorite tree was a once in a lifetime experience. Enjoyed the tour of the zoo before it opened, spend most of the day there, and went back for the after hours tour and it was was a highlight of my visit to the beautiful country of Australia!
Great zoo!
Night tour of zoo after closing.
Great zoo!
From the sliding glass door of my hotel room window - wish I could share what they sound like!

Awesome resort
Views are amazing! Room was very comfortable. We had an issue with the air conditioning but after talking with reception, it was just user error. They were very nice in walking us through it. I pad in room has all of the retreat/room information. Many lighting options throughout the room. Tours in the retreat and zoo were very good and I highly recommend them. Our after-hours zoo tour got cut short by a storm that quickly came in but was very good up until then!

Fun start to our Sydney vacation.
So much fun! Woke up to a koala hanging out in the tree in front of our room each am. Great guest-only zoo night tour. Super Breakfast buffet. Traveled with 2 20 yo kids. They loved it too.

Unique hotel experience in the heart of Sydney!
A beautiful use of Sydney harbor and within the zoo. Koala’s right outside your room balcony. Can’t beat this hotel!! No downtown hotel compares. I would recommend it to anyone who plans a trip to Sydney.

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.
