Highly recommend!

Highly recommend the Wildlife Retreat at Taronga Zoo. We loved everything about it! We had a sanctuary view room and enjoyed watching the koala outside our room balcony. The service and tours were great. Dinner at Me-Gal was excellent, and drinks from the bay in the lobby lounge were good too.

Adam, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great but would only go once.

Service was excellent and of course staying at zoo is amazing experience. Though couch in our room was filthy and air con has limited settings. It’s expensive but the money is going to animals so I’m guessing that’s why, because I’d never pay a price like this for the room type. The personal tours were great.
