Amazing experience at the Taronga Wildlife Retreat. We enjoyed our stay there so much! Breakfast was wonderful and so were both tours. The view from breakfast of the Sydney Harbour is breathtaking. So worth the visit! And a very sweet gift from the staff for my birthday, very thoughtful.

Amazing hospitality from the team at Wildlife Retreat! The whole compound from the accommodation to the zoo and even the tours provided was very well planned and thoughtful. Fantastic use of the space they had and highly recommended for families. Make sure you do the night walk tour, it was an amazing experience being allowed into the empty zoo at night. Special shout out to one of the front desk staff Cameron who entertained our little daughter and was super helpful with our airport transfer as well!

The chairs in the restaurant are worn out and dirty. The windows are dirty in the restaurant from kids and people touch the windows. I do not expect to go to a high end quality restaurants and sit in dirty worn out chairs and view the beautiful harbor through dirty windows.

We stayed for Mother's Day. It is a beautiful property, with lux amenities, comfortable beds and has fantastic dining options. The highlights of course are the animals, plants and the overall beautiful environment. The kangaroo enclosure was just outside our window, and there was a spectacular waterfall outside the door. It was a joy to stay in such a nice property and have an Australian native wildlife sanctuary outside. The stay includes two days to explore the zoo and tours. I highly recommend it as a family adventure.

The best place I’ve ever stayed. Loved it as an adult and the kids were blown away! Have stayed in Sydney many times and loved being this side of the harbour without even taking into account the awesomeness of being in the retreat surrounded by animals. I highly recommend!
