"A unique zoo hotel within Taronga Zoo Sydney, offering guests a conservation-minded experience with views of native wildlife." - The MICHELIN Guide
"This harbor-front ecolodge—operated by the Taronga Conservation Society—places guests in five elevated lodges connected by walkways above a native animal sanctuary, combining polished, Chada Studio–designed interiors and soaking tubs with immersive wildlife encounters and sweeping harbor views. The 62-room retreat offers floor-to-ceiling windows that bring you eye-to-eye with koalas and kangaroos or frame the harbor, and every stay supports conservation efforts; it opened in 2019 and remains a family-friendly, sustainably minded alternative to traditional hotels." - Krisanne Fordham
"For a special family stay, I recommend the Wildlife Retreat at Taronga Zoo — a five-star, lodge-like accommodation where you can have animal sightings from your room while supporting the Taronga Conservation Society." - Laura Dannen Redman

"The idea of a zoo hotel — not located near a zoo, but actually on the grounds of one — is something of a novelty. It’s particularly noteworthy when the zoo in question is considered one of the best in the world. The Wildlife Retreat at Taronga is located inside Taronga Zoo Sydney, and when front desk staff mention that it’s possible to wake up to a kangaroo hopping by or a koala clinging to a tree outside your window, they’re not exaggerating — and every stay comes with a two-day admission and a guided afternoon tour of the sanctuary." - Tablet Hotels
