The retreat is right in the Toranga Zoo, yet private enough to subdue the din of the zoo. The architecture is beautiful surpassed only by the views across Sydney Harbor. Zoo access and private tours are included. Great breakfast buffet every morning in the restaurant. The staff were super friendly and helpful every step of the way. Just a short ferry ride into the Rocks area of Sydney.

This is such a unique, beautiful and inspiring retreat. The facility, koalas, wallabies, and other animals are enough to make for a once in a life time experience but the quality of the staff make it even better. The staff exude a genuine passion and joy towards the care of the animals and guests. If you are thinking about staying at Taronga, just book it!!! You can’t go wrong.

Whomever came up with the concept of placing a wildlife retreat in the middle of a zoo was a genius!! This property alone is stunning, and the amenities were like a 5 star resort. But nothing topped the 2yr old koala names Sky who hung in his favorite eucalyptus tree just outside our patio! We literally sat for hours watching him nibble and sleep. Ask for room 241 and you’ll get the show of a lifetime. We will only stay there from now on whenever we’re in Sydney. Oh - and don’t forget to use the water ferry if you want to head into the city. There is a dock specifically for zoo visitors. So convenient.
