"We stayed at Lakeside for 4 nights and enjoyed everything about this place. The location, the view, the extremely nice and helpful staff, the cleanliness. Our most favourite was Lachlan restaurant, it's very reasonably priced, the selection is great and the chef is very good 👍."

"The hotel is well appointed and located. The room was comfortable, bathroom even better. The hotel has a musty, damp odour however which was unpleasant. Improved with the a/c on but still lingered in the hallways and lift."

We booked The Wildlife Retreat as a surprise offering on our search for Sydney. 30 mins from the airport by car, 12 minute ferry to the centre of the city. Location is great with superb views over the city.
We found out most people only stay a night or two. We stayed 4 and that felt like the minimum to really appreciate all the property has to offer. Good and drink was excellent, although the bar opened late and closed early, getting a coffee after breakfast meant going into the zoo...

Having asked for a high room with a view of the Harbour, my wife and I was very happy indeed with the room allocated to us. The view was fabulous and the room/apartment was spacious, spotlessly clean, well equipped and overall very nice. Location was good ( near the North Sydney train station) with restaurants and bars near by. Would highly recommend this hotel.

If you don't want corporate rooms. If you want a DIY breakfast and a comfortable lounge. Really friendly staff this is for you. Would I stay here again YES.

Very friendly staff
Room was nice and large, good size bathroom and liked that I had my own fridge. Very good transport links to the city. Train was a 5 min walk away, metro was across the road. Lots of shops around. I would definitely stay here again. Really good price. Rooftop pool and gym, which i didnt use but looked great.
