Rooms & Wildlife Views

The Wildlife Retreat at Taronga in Sydney offers four room types: Bushland Room, Animal View Room, Harbour View Room, and Treetop Suites. Each room includes a king-size bed, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a flat-screen TV. The Treetop Suites feature panoramic harbour views and ensuite bathtubs. Rooms overlook native bushland, animal habitats, or Sydney Harbour, including the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Accessible rooms have wheelchair-friendly bathrooms.

Native Dining Experience

Me-Gal Restaurant serves modern Australian cuisine with native ingredients like lemon myrtle and slow-roasted Flinders Island lamb. Breakfast includes locally inspired jams, in-house pastries, and fresh produce. The N'Gurra Lounge offers harbour-view cocktails and light meals. Menu items emphasize sustainably sourced seafood (MSC/ASC certified) and seasonal dishes.

Zoo Access & Tours

Guests receive 2-day entry to Taronga Zoo, with direct access from the retreat. A guided Sanctuary Tour introduces bettongs, echidnas, and wallabies in their habitat. Complimentary parking is included. Proceeds from stays support Taronga's wildlife conservation programs.

Sydney Harbour Location

The retreat is within Taronga Zoo in Mosman, 15 minutes from Sydney's center. Nearby Military Road hosts boutiques and bistros. A 12-minute ferry from Circular Quay connects to the zoo, followed by a short bus ride (238 or 100 routes). The Opera House and Harbour Bridge are visible from harbour-facing rooms.

Eco-Conscious Stay

Built with cross-laminated timber, the retreat uses rooftop solar panels and recycled water. Bathroom amenities are bamboo-based, avoiding single-use plastics. Tours emphasize Cammeraigal country traditions. New Year's Eve packages include fireworks viewing and multi-course dinners at Me-Gal.
