An amazing and unforgettable experience!
It was AMAZING! Getting to stay beside of a kola's favorite tree was a once in a lifetime experience. Enjoyed the tour of the zoo before it opened, spend most of the day there, and went back for the after hours tour and it was was a highlight of my visit to the beautiful country of Australia!
Great zoo!
Night tour of zoo after closing.

Unique hotel experience in the heart of Sydney!
A beautiful use of Sydney harbor and within the zoo. Koala’s right outside your room balcony. Can’t beat this hotel!! No downtown hotel compares. I would recommend it to anyone who plans a trip to Sydney.

Awesome resort
Views are amazing! Room was very comfortable. We had an issue with the air conditioning but after talking with reception, it was just user error. They were very nice in walking us through it. I pad in room has all of the retreat/room information. Many lighting options throughout the room. Tours in the retreat and zoo were very good and I highly recommend them. Our after-hours zoo tour got cut short by a storm that quickly came in but was very good up until then!

Fun start to our Sydney vacation.
So much fun! Woke up to a koala hanging out in the tree in front of our room each am. Great guest-only zoo night tour. Super Breakfast buffet. Traveled with 2 20 yo kids. They loved it too.

10/10 Exceptional

Best place ever to stay!! The wildlife preserve was amazing and when staying there you got to go to animal feedings and tour at night with a guide using a red light that doesn’t hurt the animals eyes. Food there was wonderful. You could walk through the zoo to get a ferry to Sydney. Best views of Sydney from the zoo. 5 stars all around!
