Worth every penny!
Pros:

Everything! The hotel was stunning, we had views of the kangaroos outside of our room, the breakfast was delicious and the staff were amazing. We loved the on site tours available, especially the night tour.

Cons:

A tiny small thing - the sofa in our room had crumbs on and some of the floor was also not hoovered. But this was just a small thing, we loved our stay!

思い出に残る体験になりました。いつかまた行きたいです。
Pros:

最高でした！ラウンジから眺める夜景も、レストランも素晴らしかったです。
サンクチュアリツアーでは身近で動物たちの姿を見る事ができ、子供が大喜びでした。動物園へのアクセスが本当に良いので、じっくり見て回ることができますし、疲れたらロビーに戻って休めるのもありがたかったです。
スタッフの皆さんもとても親切で、過不足ない対応をしてくださいました。

Amazing! I would love to come back
Pros:

We loved the hotel and would definitely return. The hotel and rooms are beautiful. We had a room right in front of the kangaroos, and it was spacious with great details. The breakfast was very complete with an incredible view, and the fact that it includes zoo admission is top-notch. A truly unique hotel.

Cons:

Nothing

Einzigartiges Wildlife Boutique Hotel
Pros:

Einzigartiges Erlebnis mitten im Tierpark. So nah und ungestört kommt man den Tieren sonst nur in freier Wildbahn (wenn Mann Glück hat). Außerdem ist der Ausblick beim Frühstück oder beim exzellenten Abendessen auf die Skyline von Sydney wohl der beste den es in der ganzen Area gibt.

Cons:

Nur Kleinigkeiten die aber das Gesamterlebnis nicht beeinflussen

Quintessential Sydney experience, would go again, so good
Pros:

Fabulous experience, I highly recommend staying in an animal view room at the Retreat, taking the evening tour, dinner in the Me-Gal restaurant at sunset ( ask for a window table) for an iconic Sydney view. Zoo entry is included, so check in early & check out late - your luggage is safely stored & you have a wonderful lounge to come & go from. Highly, highly recommend the Taronga Wildlife Retreat.

Cons:

Everything was great, nothing to make better.
