5 star!

Amazing stay! Insane views, delicious food & the private tours were exceptional. Would highly recommend.
Rachael, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable room with a view

Best decision ever to stay here. We had a koala in our tree outside the entire 2 day stay. I’d say 2 days is perfect-enough time to relax and see all of the zoo, plus do some of the excellent walks with the guides.

8/10 Very good

Amazing stay with the Koloa's

We loved our night at Taronga, the staff were fantastic and really helpful and friendly, the only reason we have marked it down slighlty was due to the limited bar opening times meaning no where to get food or drinks until lunchtime and after 8.30pm. Our animal view room was amazing overlooking one of the beautiful Koloa's. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

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.

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.
Great zoo!
