10/10

This was the most amazing hotel! There was a koala right outside our room. The hotel was easy to access by ferry and bus. We LOVED it.
2-night trip

10/10

I absolutely loved staying here, so much better than I expected. Our room was calming, clean and comfortable just what we wanted. The view of the kangaroos from our room was uniquely brilliant and the whole vibe in the hotel was awesome. Breakfast and dinner were great with exceptional harbour views. Then the access to the zoo is super easy and I enjoyed the guided tour parts too! Can't recommend enough and it is all for charity which is even better!
1-night trip

10/10

A unique experience staying inside the zoo. Free zoo access, VIP access to the animal refuge (with guide) and special night tour of zoo, amazing view of Sydney, excellent breakfast buffet, and a koala bear nested just out of arms reach of my open window. Highlight of our week in Sydney.

Amazing stay! Insane views, delicious food & the private tours were exceptional. Would highly recommend.
3-night trip

10/10

Best decision ever to stay here. We had a koala in our tree outside the entire 2 day stay. I’d say 2 days is perfect-enough time to relax and see all of the zoo, plus do some of the excellent walks with the guides.

Amazing view from the lounge and Me-Gal restaurant. Rooms are small for family of 2 and a toddler. If you have dust allergy, do carry your meds as room was not as clean. We could clearly hear someone walking in the room upstairs as well so a little noisy. Animal room is good if you are lucky to see 1 koala for more then 5 minutes your entire stay.

Beautiful views.

8/10

We loved our night at Taronga, the staff were fantastic and really helpful and friendly, the only reason we have marked it down slighlty was due to the limited bar opening times meaning no where to get food or drinks until lunchtime and after 8.30pm. Our animal view room was amazing overlooking one of the beautiful Koloa's. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

It was amazing and met all descriptions. I paid for a koala view room and had the opportunity to watch one for hours. There are free tours and breakfast included too. Great value for the price as it includes parking and two days of zoo entry with private entrance.
