Creature comfort takes on a new meaning with a stay alongside some of the world’s most majestic animals at this five-star retreat, hidden within Canberra’s National Zoo & Aquarium. Go where the wild things are and stay in safari-style accommodation, offering views over the enclosures or pristine nature. Animal welfare is one of the top priorities and animals have the option to be near the room or far away and out of sight, with the funds raised supporting the zoo’s breeding programs.

Travelling with friends or family? Upgrade to the uShaka Shark Grand Suite or uShaka Meerkat Suite for up to six guests (see Room Policies for details).
