Jamala Wildlife Lodge, Canberra

Jamala Wildlife Lodge offers six unique room types, including Giraffe Treehouses and Jungle Bungalows. Each Giraffe Treehouse includes views of resident giraffes while guests can also walk among friendly deer and alpacas nearby. The Jungle Bungalows place guests alongside lions, cheetahs, or bears, all within close proximity to their private suites.

Guests at Jamala Wildlife Lodge can engage in exclusive animal encounters directly from their rooms. Each accommodation allows guests to observe and sometimes feed giraffes, meerkats, and various other animals. Special encounters also include visits and experiences with cheetahs and rare marine life.

The hotel's dining experience consists of a four-course gourmet dinner served with views of dramatic wildlife encounters. Guests start their evening with pre-dinner drinks in the Rainforest Cave, often joined by lions or hyenas. A full a la carte breakfast is offered alongside the scenic views of the Molonglo River.

On-site wellness amenities include a stunning lounge area and tropical gardens where guests can unwind. The pool offers a refreshing escape amidst the lodge's safari setting. High tea and light lunches are served, enhancing the relaxing atmosphere of the lodge.
