From the moment i checked in until the moment i collected my bags (several hourse after checkout) my stay was faultless. Every staff memeber i encountered at the retreat was fantastic, from the check in team, the Me-Gal staff and the tour giude. One of my top three hotel experiences ever! The sanctuary tour was fun and informative and do yourself a favour and book the $25 after dark zoo tour. The rooms themselves are beautiful with not only a fantastic view of the sanctuary, but also the harbour. I will definitely be back!

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.

What an absolutely amazing experience cannot recommend it enough. The minute You arrive to the minute you leave you are treated like royalty by all staff not just at the retreat from the gate of the zoo to the man who made me a coffee. Everything was beyond imagination and cannot recommend high enough.

Surprised how much I enjoyed staying at the wildlife sanctuary. Comfortable room, great lounge area with spectacular views. Dinner at the restaurant was good, portions could have been more generous but the overall experience was lovely. Also amazing views. We enjoyed wandering around the zoo and the after hours tour was fun. Overall an iconic Sydney experience, ideal for visitors and locals alike.
