Property was beautiful. Rooms were great. We had a bush room and could see kangaroos. Breakfast was delicious and had beautiful views. Awesome to get zoo for two days and parking with a night stay. We did the morning private tour, which was really worth it. Only downside is restaurant and even light fare in the lobby very highly priced—even for kids meal. We left the resort and went into Mosman for dinner.

Had a very wonderful stay. Even though we got the bush view room, we were able to see some kangaroos outside our window! Parking was easy. Service was amazing, you can tell everyone is passionate about contributing at the zoo. Breakfast buffet was limited but delicious. Shower pressure was a bit weak tho.

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!

I truly appreciate all the efforts made by those who care for our environment. It warms my heart to support their passion. In fact, I created a video to share my experiences and to inspire others—especially locals—to embrace and cherish the wonderful tourist attractions we have right in our own state. Together, we can make a positive impact!

Our room overlooked a koala habitat!!! This unique property is part of the Taranga Zoo, so if you are an animal fan, you will have an amazing experience. The breakfast is second to none. What I didn't like: shower floors very slippery and there are no hand holds anywhere in the bathroom. This is probably important only for those of guests that are more mature, but in my view simple and low cost enhancements would make it much better.

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.
