The staff is amazing at this resort! It is beautiful as well. We loved our koala buddy right outside our room’s windows. Being able to get in and out of the zoo anytime we wanted was a great park as was the free sanctuary tour. We had one evening. We also enjoyed an early morning tour that was included – the guides are super knowledgeable, interesting and friendly. Breakfast is lovely in the.Mi Gal restaurant with lots of variety. Coffees tended to be not as hot as we liked, but when we asked if they could make them hotter, they did and were great. The view is wonderful and a great start to a day of adventures. Dinner options are only at this restaurant – it is beautiful and the food was not bad but not as great as we had read them to be. We had fabulous meals all over Australia so I do feel like we had plenty of comparison. There is room service, but the menu is limited. It is nice to eat lunch in the lobby area from the small bar there looking at over the harbor the hamburger and chicken burger we had were quite good. It is easy to walk up to the bus stop and catch the shuttle down to the ferry stop. The ferry goes straight across the harbor to circular quay. We did go to a play at the Opera House one evening – do you know that you will have to catch the bus to get back to the resort as the ferry will not be running once it’s dark. The bus took almost an hour to get back. Taranga is the last stop it appears!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

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.
