We had an amazing stay. Waking up with the koalas was unreal. We would enjoy time in the lobby looking over the city. I participated in the night tour and saw more animals out and about in the cool air. Really enjoyed our stay and found the buses were convenient for getting out to beaches like Manly and Balmoral. Not only is the food fantastic, the restaurant has an even better view of the harbour!
Our view from the animal bush room!

Stay there for for my daughter's second birthday, we had a great time! The staff is lovely and very helpful, the facilities and location are excellent. The only downside is the choice for dinner either a restaurant or a very limited bar menu, none of the options were suited for a lively full of energy tottler, but we managed with pizza and salad. We will definitely be back.

This is an amazing place and experience like no other. Amazing architecture and obvious thought and consideration going into every decorating detail. Unlike others we had a terrific experience with dinner service. It is only held back by mediocre breakfast service with no one clearing dishes or asking for additional drink orders. There is also visible garbage bins in the alley next to the room access that could easily be covered with a bamboo cover.

We got the animal view room and it was great. The koala was well in sight and felt very private besides just seeing a few people on the sanctuary tour but that was still fine. Facilities were nice and great access to the zoo

The room was clean and comfortable with a nice out look of part of the zoo with resident Kangaroos. It was nice to access to the Zoo and the location of being able to jump on the Ferry to get around and access to buses was great. Food at the Restaurant was beautiful and view amazing.

The rooms are beautiful, with a koala outside, we didn't see her in the evening and I was worried we wouldn't but she was there in the morning and we were lucky to see her moving around. The sanctuary tour is great, we had the amazing Lee who was great. Views from the lounge and restaurant are amazing and food is good too.
