This hotel was a once-in-a-lifetime incredible experience. I can’t recommend it enough. We woke up every day to a koala in front of our window, private tours, private entrance to the zoo, amazing restaurant… a must stay!

Our second stay here and lovely room looking out to koalas. Recommend getting the animal view room especially if you have kids travelling with you. Night tour was really great on our first visit a couple of years ago but quite underwhelming this time as we didn’t really see anything at all, aside from the dingoes. Included sanctuary tour in the afternoon was great. The friendly staff are a highlight of the visit and the easy included parking, ability to catch a ferry into the city to do other activities around Sydney was great too. Amazing location for views from Me Gal (restaurant onsite where included breakfast was served). Breakfast options weren’t very good this time compared to our last visit with pretty limited choices for a 5 star hotel. Room service choices were pretty limited too but good quality. Well laid out, compact rooms with comfortable furnishings.

We came from Perth to spend 4 nights at the Retreat. I cannot imagine a more wonderful place to stay for couples, groups or solo travellers. Every aspect is thoughtfully designed and aesthetically pleasing; it makes great use of the natural surroundings and materials are eco-friendly. We enjoyed evenings in the lamp-lit lounge and on the wide balcony watching the big city across the harbour. The buffet breakfasts were generous and delicious; guests’ attention drifted off with the intoxicating panorama. I loved that we were always in a relationship with the zoo. We could come and go through the days and joined a night tour plus small group Sanctuary tour led by zoo staff & volunteers. We met lesbian geese, an overweight menopausal echidna, daughters of a lioness who chose brains over swagger, a capybara who snuck out of his enclosure to let loose on a kids’ playground…I am missing the koala brothers snoozing in the tree right outside our room. The staff are happy and so they are kind, generous with stories and information. This was a genuine retreat for my daughter and me; I feel calmer but also energised. You should go!

Needs to be an egg made to order service for breakie and more native ingredients and local Aussie produced used and interpreted at the breakfast station. Breakfast was ok but not outstanding for luxury. That would be my constructive feedback. Everything else was amazing !

Our room was clean and easy to get to the lobby and breakfast. It was awesome to have our very own Koala to look at for our entire 4 day stay. Best hotel/resort in Sydney and the staff were very polite, friendly, and knowledgeable about all of the animals and helped us with taxis. Very safe upscale neighborhood. Best views of the Opera House and Harbor Bridge. Would recommend it for all ages. Very nice to have our own private access to the zoo to come and go as we pleased. No smell of the animals at all. Best of Sydney!!!

Hi We had an incredible dinner at the restaurant for my wife's birthday. The waiter Scott really made it so special, what a lovely guy. Great to see the support for local products such as Hickson House, what a martini..........

The Wildlife Retreat is stunning from the moment you walk in to the foyer. Not only is the foyer beautiful, but the view to Sydney Harbour is stunning. Our Wildlife View room was very spacious, clean and nicely decorated. The staff in all areas of the retreat were great.

The staff at the retreat were very welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The room itself could have been cleaner, and it felt a bit run‑down with marks, scratches, stains, and general wear and tear that hadn’t been fixed. We had dinner at the Me‑Gal Restaurant and everything we ordered was delicious. Our waitress, Iman, was lovely, and the view from the restaurant was beautiful. The buffet breakfast, however, wasn’t as good and the staff there weren’t as friendly, though it was still fine overall. We had a good time, and we would stay here again.

This hotel is a dream. You can feel you are in the middle of a Sanctuary full of animals as if you were leaving in a Safari. The food, the views and the possibility to have access to the zoo. The staff was absolutely great with us. They gave us a beautiful gift because of my husbands birthday that made our experience unique. The only "bad" thing was a lady of the staff that was host in the restaurant. She didn't have patience with us as a non english native speakers
