Welcome to the Wildlife Retreat at Taronga on Cammeraigal country, an immersive, overnight experience like no other.
The Wildlife Retreat is located just 15 minutes from Sydney CBD yet feels a world away, in a secluded, harbourside bushland setting. It’s a peaceful, rejuvenating experience that connects guests with native Australian wildlife and forms an integral part of Taronga’s vision to achieve a shared future for people and wildlife.
Be inspired, knowing that income from your family stay at the Wildlife Retreat directly supports Taronga’s important animal conservation programs in Australia and around the world.
