We booked 3 x rooms to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. The venue and experience was more than expected!! The check-in was smooth and hassle-free. We were offered a complimentary night tour of the zoo as well as the sanctuary tour that same afternoon. Breakfast menu had variety and quality. Restaurant staff were courteous and polite - except 1 who spoilt the morning breakfast service.

We had an amazing stay. Waking up with the koalas was unreal. We would enjoy time in the lobby looking over the city. I participated in the night tour and saw more animals out and about in the cool air. Really enjoyed our stay and found the buses were convenient for getting out to beaches like Manly and Balmoral. Not only is the food fantastic, the restaurant has an even better view of the harbour!

This is an amazing hotel and I’m so thankful we discovered it and didn’t stay at a downtown location. Convenient location with beautiful views. You can literally walk off the property and straight into the zoo. There is also a convenient ferry to Sydney located at the zoo entrance. We had several koalas in the tree directly off our room along with other fun Australian critters. The staff is the best and everyone was very helpful. A young lady at the front desk named Izzy went out of her way to answer our many questions. She’s a great employee and needs to be on the board of directors or at least get a huge raise. This is an amazing hotel and I highly recommend it for a 3-4 day vacation.

This was the most remarkable place I have ever stayed. Being right with the animals, listening to the singing of the birds in the morning, and the koala growls at night, being able to visit the zoo at any time was truly magnificent. The staff were truly amazing ensuring all your needs were either met or answered. The location to be able to visit the rest of the city was perfect. A beautiful ferry ride to Sydney’s circular quay made our transportation to other tourist sites enjoyable. The rooms were clean, spacious, with comfortable beds, and had an amazing comfort and calming feeling. It was the most perfect stay I have ever had. :)
