I booked an animal view room however we could not see any animals from our room. There were 3 fenced sections and each has 4 rooms in it and each section has only 1 koala. So we were no able to see any animals from the room. When i asked one of the rangers about the animal, she said that 1 koala is places between 4-5 rooms. This basically means if you are lucky enough for a koala to sit in one of the trees in front of your rooms, you’ll see it otherwise you will miss out. Very disappointed at the animal view room. The only thing good about paying so much is that all proceeds go towards the animals

The Wildlife Retreat at Taronga is the best ever! We enjoyed zoo access, night time zoo tour, and sanctuary tour (inner courtyard of the hotel is an animal sanctuary with 2 or 3 koalas and a number of wallaby related marsupials, echidnas and birds. Staff at this non-profit wildlife facility are there because they are passionate, which comes across in ALL of their work. Facility is just 5 years old and brilliantly maintained. The room layouts are contemporary - not large, but brilliantly designed. We enjoyed an animal view room (looking into the sanctuary), but others with zoo views were similarly enthused by their accommodations. The lobby/lounge is breathtaking. Our booking included a great breakfast each day, zoo admission, zoo and sanctuary tours.

The reception lounge is a convenient central place to meet with others or wait to be collected for your tour, well equipped with bar, inside/outside areas and the most amazing view of the Sydney harbor. Our rooms were lovely with a great view over the Australian animals area, we had a koala outside the window and an echidna walking around in view outside. Well equipped rooms with quality features and fixtures. Staff were amazing.
