Elysium Manly

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional!! We stayed in a suite for a wedding. Staff were incredibly attentive and very helpful. Suite was lovely."

Wildlife Retreat at Taronga

8/10 Good

"Our stay at the Wilderness Lodge was comfortable, Sanctuary view from our room was good. Staff were friendly and helpful 🙂 to us Zoo food is rather pricey, including the Me-Gal Restaurant , we wouldn't rate it fine dining, no dress code either, with guests wearing hats at night? It's certainly a one off experience, but don't think we'd do it again."
