Roar and Snore at Taronga Zoo Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"We had a terrific time even though it hailed just before our tour. Luckily it stopped and we were still able to see plenty of animals. The staff are passionate about the animals and the talks are very entertaining and interesting. It rained at the end of the tour but the tents were dry and the amenities are not far away. We heard the lions roar during the night! We woke up to the birds singing and the stunning harbour view. I could not fault it and it feels good knowing that some of the money goes to animal conservation."

The Albert Hotel Mosman

8/10 Good

"Our stay was fine but we had no parking. After attending a wedding we returned to the hotel in the late evening and had to find street parking before heading to room."
