"Service at check-in and check-out was immaculate. The Retreat is beautiful and unique; the layout is a bit of a maze at first but offers great privacy. The room felt spacious enough, though storage for clothes and bags is limited. It has a wine cooler instead of a real fridge, so don’t rely on it for food. Native tea selection, basic instant coffee, small kettle. Drinks and snacks available in mini-bar. Bathroom design looks great but offers almost no privacy due to sliding louvres and a cubicle-style (yet fancy frosted glass) toilet door. Spacious shower. King bed is a plus, though my side sagged. Interesting pillow choice, requires getting used to. Housekeeping was attentive, and amenities like robes, mirrors, iron, hairdryer, safe, and toiletries were all there. Watching animals from the room, elevator and walkways is a highlight. Breakfast at Me-Gal was handy (I do not recommend food outlets in the zoo), but lacked variety, you can’t make coffee/tea yourself and it was hard to order. Free cold still/sparkling water in the lounge is handy. While lunch and dinner at both Me-Gal and lounge were delicious, room service runs only 5–9 pm. Ordering at lounge wasn’t available when we tried at 9:30, drinks go until 10 pm. City views from the lounge and Me-Gal restaurant are exceptional. Lounge space opens up beautifully on warm days. Free daily sanctuary tours are excellent and highly recommended. Separate guest access to the zoo is appreciated. So is free parking. "

"Room spotless & staff terrific "

"My only beef in what was a pleasant stay, was the buffet breakfast, food supply issues, the hot food offered was cold and hence unpleasant to eat. Attention to the details of this part of your operation is required, otherwise, soldier on."

"We have just spent two wonderful nights at this delightful hotel. Everything from the warm welcomed, personal service, cleanliness, beds, pillows and deliciously fragranced Leif amenities was first class. The respectful renovation and gentle modernisation of this beautiful Victorian building provided a quiet sophistication that was greatly appreciated. Our room provided everything we could wish for and more (two showers anyone?! Wow!). Great location with easy access to Balmoral and Manly beaches, and only a short drive from the city centre and airport. Everyone we spoke to during our stay was friendly, professional and couldn’t do enough for us. Will gladly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again should we ever return to the area. Thank you A+++++"
