We had a lovely stay and thoroughly enjoyed it. However, a few things to note, they do not provide slippers so bring your own. They also don’t have room service which we were surprised about. We had to order food from the lounge and take it to our room which was a little bit of a trek in the wind. There is no separate car park. We parked at the zoo and dragged our luggage all the way to the hotel. We should have dropped our luggage off first as they do have a 15 minute parking area. We still had a great time and would recommend it.

DO NOT MISS THIS EXPERIENCE

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.

Unique

My teenage daughter and I stayed in an animal view room. We were in room 144 which is the koala block. We had trees outside our room but didn't see our resident koala from our room during our stay. We did get some great photos during the complimentary sanctuary tour The hotel is described as a luxury boutique eco retreat. I wouldn't say it's a 5 star standard. The staff were attentive, friendly and approachable. The view from the N'gurra lounge/reception of the bridge and skyline is amazing. We were on a ground floor room, the room was basically equipped with a king bed, 2 arm chairs and a small end table. The tv had included movies or free to air but no ability to cast or stream. The bed was comfortable, a pillow menu would be appreciated Our room was equipped as accessible and while that is a great feature to have available for guests who require it, the shower was a nightmare. The bathroom layout was toilet in the corner (with rails), vanity along the wall with a single sink and a shower in the other corner with a shower curtain. The floor doesn't have sufficient slope so the whole floor gets wet. There was a Hand-held shower and a rainwater head and a fold down bench if required. We opted to do the night tour of the zoo at $25pp excellent and well worth it. Buffet breakfasf was great and included, parking and zoo admission. One off unique expereience

Property was beautiful. Rooms were great. We had a bush room and could see kangaroos. Breakfast was delicious and had beautiful views. Awesome to get zoo for two days and parking with a night stay. We did the morning private tour, which was really worth it. Only downside is restaurant and even light fare in the lobby very highly priced—even for kids meal. We left the resort and went into Mosman for dinner.
