The Tent accomodation was very unique to stay in. We felt like we were camping, without all the hassles of erecting your own tent! This is camping in style with luxury. The 'Camp site' was exceptionally convenient for visiting the Zoo. We did find it a little noisy when the wind came up with the flapping of the tent sides. Also there are very little areas to store anything on benches etc. However overall a very enjoyable visit.

We took two of our grandsons to the Western Plains Zoo and stayed at the Rhino Lodge. We had a great time. The staff at the restaurant were helpful. The accommodation clean and comfortable and the zoo only a three minute drive away.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Rhino Lodge as a family of four. The location was perfect, a 3 min drive to Dubbo Zoo. We had the safari experience by staying in a beautiful tent which had heating and modern amenities. The staff were amazing! Providing a personalised service, the food incredible (must try shared menu), facilities included a playground and so much space for the kids to run around. Highly recommended, a Dubbo secret that needs to be shared and experienced!!
