Awesome Holiday Break ”

We live in Sydney CBD area and initially planned to travel regional for a holiday break, but due to covid restrictions, we've decided to try staycation at Wildlife Retreat. Turns out to be a great decision. We arrived to the hotel feeling like we're far from the city. The place is very relaxing and all the staff members were friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed walking around the place while waiting for our scheduled tours. Our dinner and breakfast was tasty and great too. Our room did not disappoint, we have kangaroos right outside our windows and we can also see the koalas across the other rooms. Overall experience was amazing, we felt relaxed and happy.

It was such a wonderful experience from the time we arrived”

Service was superb. Rooms were roomy and we were able to have a koala outside of our room. The whole experience from checking in to having a retreat tour or just stepping into the restaurant for a beautiful view of the Sydney Harbour was nothing short of perfection. A lovely way to soak up 24 hours of bliss.

Beautiful hotel with amazing views ”

Taronga Wildlife Retreat is perfectly situated for a zoo staycation. The entire premises and setting are beautiful, rooms clean and comfortable, and staff helpful and welcoming. Just be aware there aren’t any dining options within walking distance other than the on-site restaurants, so this could be a slight issue for anyone without a car.

We found Wildlife retreat excellent, Room was lovely, but there are no amenities there though. Obviously the zoo is there, but for the price, would like to have see something else added.

住在動物園內，窗外看出去就是無尾熊在樹上與雪梨港景，往下看是袋鼠在格鬥，斑斕的鸚鵡飛到房間外樹上叫囂，遠眺雪梨港歌劇院隨著日升日落展現不同的美，還能隨時進入動物園與各種珍奇動物互動，旅館各處不管設計還是選材細節都非常講究，真的是讓我非常驚艷的住宿！
