Amazing experience - try to plan enough time to do the zoo at least 2 days and take the nite tour the hotel offers ($25.00 per person) and get an animal view room - so cool to have Koalas sitting in the tree outside the windows Rooms need a good vacuum - corners and ceilings

Staying at Taronga Zoo was a whole experience. The ferry from Circular Quay, being met at the entry to the lobby with spectacular views to the CBD including Opera House and Harbour Bridge, to the beautifully appointed comfortable rooms with a koala cocooned in the tree outside the window, to the drinks on the deck, the personalised small group zoo entry tour, the best risotto I have ever eaten at the spectacular restaurant, a delicious buffet breakfast with a novel churro treat and 24 hour access to the zoo. I am an Aussie from WA and would recommend this for both locals and international tourist. It was fabulous!!
