The staff were excellent and the rooms were good. The accommodation included guided walks and breakfast. The drinks from the bar were pricey and the breakfast was not as good as a previous stay, with less fruit and toast spread options, bain-marie not that exciting and not particularly hot, not replacing items for guests that were having a later breakfast. The coffee was good. The breakfast chairs were worn and marked.

Service at check-in and check-out was immaculate. The Retreat is beautiful and unique; the layout is a bit of a maze at first but offers great privacy. The room felt spacious enough, though storage for clothes and bags is limited. It has a wine cooler instead of a real fridge, so don’t rely on it for food. Native tea selection, basic instant coffee, small kettle. Drinks and snacks available in mini-bar. Bathroom design looks great but offers almost no privacy due to sliding louvres and a cubicle-style (yet fancy frosted glass) toilet door. Spacious shower. King bed is a plus, though my side sagged. Interesting pillow choice, requires getting used to. Housekeeping was attentive, and amenities like robes, mirrors, iron, hairdryer, safe, and toiletries were all there. Watching animals from the room, elevator and walkways is a highlight. Breakfast at Me-Gal was handy (I do not recommend food outlets in the zoo), but lacked variety, you can’t make coffee/tea yourself and it was hard to order. Free cold still/sparkling water in the lounge is handy. While lunch and dinner at both Me-Gal and lounge were delicious, room service runs only 5–9 pm. Ordering at lounge wasn’t available when we tried at 9:30, drinks go until 10 pm. City views from the lounge and Me-Gal restaurant are exceptional. Lounge space opens up beautifully on warm days. Free daily sanctuary tours are excellent and highly recommended. Separate guest access to the zoo is appreciated. So is free parking.

Wonderful staff- everyone was very kind and helpful. Breakfast was stellar! Could benefit from more options for food throughout the day (from the lounge.) Excellent stay overall- beautiful rooms. Perfect place to come with the family after long flights and overcoming jet lag- nice to come and go to the zoo without having to navigate transportation, driving, parking, etc.
