I truly appreciate all the efforts made by those who care for our environment. It warms my heart to support their passion. In fact, I created a video to share my experiences and to inspire others—especially locals—to embrace and cherish the wonderful tourist attractions we have right in our own state. Together, we can make a positive impact!

Amazing stay with the Koloa's

We loved our night at Taronga, the staff were fantastic and really helpful and friendly, the only reason we have marked it down slighlty was due to the limited bar opening times meaning no where to get food or drinks until lunchtime and after 8.30pm. Our animal view room was amazing overlooking one of the beautiful Koloa's. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

We had such a great stay at Wildlife Retreat at Taronga! The staff are so friendly and helpful. The zoo is so wonderful and has so many amazing animals to see. The on-site restaurants are all fantastic! There is also a ferry at the bottom of the zoo that goes right to Circular Quay and that is super convenient. Overall, a great hotel and such a unique place to stay!

What’s not to love about staying in the Taranga zoo! We had an exception stay in our animal view room which was very well appointed. We enjoyed the tours provided and observing the animals all about. We had a lovely Koala outside our sliders and we really enjoyed that! The access to the zoo is super VIP and we thoroughly enjoyed taking in all it had to offer! Truly a retreat just outside the city with speculators views of Sydney’s CBD, Opera house and bay bridge. The Me-gal restaurant provided a wonderful breakfast buffet and the dinner we had there was also delicious. I highly recommend atleast one night at the Retreat at Taranaga Zoo, you will not be disappointed.

The wildlife retreat was the highlight of our entire trip. We love visiting Taronga zoo and having enough time to explore over two days was great.

Incredible animal viewing for guests only

It was amazing and met all descriptions. I paid for a koala view room and had the opportunity to watch one for hours. There are free tours and breakfast included too. Great value for the price as it includes parking and two days of zoo entry with private entrance.

I just absolutely adore the whole idea of this property. I love the wonderful design, the peace in a huge busy city. It is like an oasis of green and blue. Looking over the most majestic harbor in the world. And I've seen plenty. The staff were simply amazing and so friendly compared to the big swanky hotels in the city. I just love, love, love it.
