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!

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. The hotel is beautiful with amazing views and the staff are super friendly. Loved the little tour of the animals in the hotel grounds. Such a beautiful stay!

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.

They make stay memorable, the staff is amazing & very helpful, I’m glad I took the offered tour and I learned that whatever income they generate is for the conservation of the animals. I wish I stayed longer if I’m coming back in Sydney I definitely stay there again & longer.

We loved staying in this beautiful retreat. We had a Koala right outside our window and it was the perfect way to spend our first two nights in Australia after a long flight. We got to have a private sanctuary tour and also a night tour of the zoo. Mostly everyone was very friendly too. We had breakfast in the upstairs restaurant one of the days and they offered many options to choose from. It's also very easy to get into Sydney's main harbour by taking the ferry. The rooms are nice and spacious and have amazing views. We would absolutely stay again.

We were a little concerned about being outside the CBD however the ferry from the Retreat was a quick good option. The property is amazing. The people there are incredibly helpful . The Retreat tour was amazing. We got to see all the animals there and in the zoo that we didn’t see while traveling. We booked a koala view room and were delighted to see a koala at various times during the day and evening. The onsite restaurant is very good. Only negative was the service was very slow. Our waiter gave us free dessert without us asking because he realize we had sat for a while. The good part of that is we had extra time to see the incredible view of Sydney and the opera house!!
