[2025 Mosman Hotels] Travel Guide for Wildlife Retreat at Taronga (Updated Jul)

Take a boat from Circular Quay and arrive in 12 minutes. Then you can take a bus or walk up the slope to the zoo! There are koalas, platypuses, kangaroos and other special Australian star animals, which are extremely cute! There are also some performances and different kinds of small animals to watch, they are all lovable. However, the zoo is cashless and all consumption must be paid by credit card, so everyone must remember to bring a credit card!

📅 Itinerary Day1：explore the zoo while room not ready in wildlife retreat hotel; do sanctuary tour at dawn Day2: see the seal show, lion show, apes, koala; at night, have dinner at mosman city Day3: explore rest of the zoo, picnic, do night walk w guides when zoo is empty 🏨 Accommodation wildlife reserve resort 🍴 Food Recommendations many to choose at Mosman or take a quick ferry tide to sydney; ferries run up to 7pm but busses 100 or 238 go all night back to taronga zoo 📌 Tips koala experience is overrated so not recommended; giraffe feeding g ok, relax and enjoy view from hotel resort; fine sining at resort too pricy

Located in Sydney, this hotel features a restaurant and a 24-hour front desk. Rooms and suites offer views of the jungle, animals or harbour.

Getting There - ferry from Circular Quay Directly to the zoo. There will be a zoo free bus wait for you but however I don’t know why getting back to the pier again cost money🤷🏻♀️ Attractions - Koala 🐨 of course. Don’t miss out to get a seat to see seal show at 2pm! 🦭 Hotels - I stayed at the very near Central station hostel. It’s was alright. But if you not in the budget, staying at Peninsula hotel might be a dream for me. Food & Restaurants - there is Mc Donald in the zoo if you hungry. But I tried the Aussie healthy burger names grill’d back in town and it is also not too bad to be hungry waiting to come back here Shopping - there is two souvenirs shop as I believe at the zoo. They sell load of cute stuff there. But back to town, QVB queen victoria building! On the lower ground floor has a lot of stuff on discount 🤌🏼 📍Address: Taronga Zoo #travel #sydney #tarongazoo

My stay at the Wildlife Retreat at Taronga was absolutely unforgettable! We booked an Animal View room, and it was surreal to see a koala right outside our window, casually walking around on the ground just a few feet away. Being so close to the wildlife in their natural behaviors was a truly unique experience. We also had the chance to explore the zoo after hours, taking a guided walk as the sun set and witnessing the zoo’s nighttime activities when the lights went out. It was fascinating to see how different the zoo is after dark! In the morning, we enjoyed a delicious buffet breakfast at the on-site restaurant, which offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The food was fantastic, and the service was top-notch, making the experience even more special. I would highly recommend the Wildlife Retreat at Taronga to anyone looking for a unique and immersive wildlife experience. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind stay! #sydneyzoo #sydneystay
