An awesome experience.
This property is one of the most beautiful I have ever stayed at. Listening to the animals at night really completed the experience. And seeing kangaroos from our window was spectacular. The food was great and the Zoo was amazing.

Highlight of our trip!
We had an amazing stay! This was the highlight of our trip to Australia! We decided on the animal view room and to be honest I wasn't expecting that we may not see any animals from our room during our stay. Well we had a koala right outside our room during the entire stay! The entire staff from the bartender, front desk staff and the zoo tour guides were amazing! The lounge has a spectacular view of the Sydney Harbour and it is especially at sunset. We had a tour of the zoo before it opened to the public and the tour guides were so friendly and informative. You can tell how much the animals and conservation means to them.

This really was a retreat and a unique experience! Every morning, we were greeted by a koala in the tree outside our window, and we enjoyed watching the echidnas beside the patio every day. Access to the zoo was easy and convenient, and the staff and private tours of the property were fantastic.

This resort deserves a five star review.The welcoming staff go above and beyond to make your stay amazing, the Me-Gal restaurant were very knowledgeable and accommodating as I am coeliac, our meal was outstanding and breakfast just as delicious. We had the bushland view room which still had an amazing view, was very comfortable and the bathroom was lovely. Being able to park easily at the zoo and have access to wonder around on both checkin and checkout days made this overnight stay feel like a full weekend away. We will definitely be back

Great stay near the animals
It was amazing to stay near the koala. Hotel is beautifully designed, and offers a nice view on Sydney. Room is very comfortable and quiet. Staff are nice. Hotel guests have a special entrance in the zoo, which is really cool. For the standing of the hotel, it's ridiculous that the complementary coffee/teas are not fulfilled during housekeeping.. Should be more relax about check-out time, no late check-out was offered. Breakfast wasn't amazing, but ok.

AMAZING stay. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. They treat you like gold. The room was perfect. We loved our Animal View Room. Such a special experience. To be able to wake up and see him, visit with him before bed and check on him during the middle of the night. I would stay again snd for 3 or 4 nights. Food for the lounge snd restaurant were a bit pricey.

We were a family of 4 adults and two toddlers staying in interconnecting animal view rooms. So lovely to wake up to a koala nestling in a tree outside your window! Great access to zoo on the day we arrive and our checkout day and so relaxing to be able to return to the lounge area with spectacular views of the harbour whenever we wanted. Breakfast overlooking the harbour included!!! A must do.
