We only had 2 nights at Emily Moon River Lodge we would recommend at least 3 if touring South Africa. There is plenty to do in the Plettenberg Bay/Knysna Area and Emily Moon is the perfect base to do this and also to relax. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, and every morning the owners would come down... more

Emily Moon River Lodge, managed by Simon and Diane Valentine on behalf of their son is as close to paradise you can get. The very warm and personal welcome that you receive from Adri the moment you arrive sets the scene and from there it only gets even better. The rooms are huge and beautifully furnished. We had lodge 3... more

Stayed here for 2 nights, our room was stunning (I have since found out it was the Honeymoon Suite). Great views from the deck. Had lunch in the restaurant and it was excellent. However, the restaurant was quite hectic in the evenings and we didn't have the greatest service - on the first night, our starters arrived whilst we were... more

Adri greeted us warmly and it was no problem at all that we arrived very early in order to drop off our bags and get changed before we set off for a walk. We were very happy with our spacious detached room and with our private deck with a lovely view, We ate in the restaurant in the evening and... more

Emily Moon River Lodge is without any doubt my favorite holiday destination in South Africa. I arrived at the lodge late evening on the 16th of December, to be met by Adri (receptionist) who had stayed on late to personally check me in after a fairly long drive from Cape Town. She efficiently checked me into my room - No... more

Stayed in room number 2 for 3 nights in December. The first morning I took a shower, put on my robe to find a bat inside inside it. My husband helped me get it outside. Explained to Simon, the owner, what had happened, who expressed surprise and apologised. The second night, just nodding off, heard something flying around the room,... more

We were looking forward to our 2 night stay here having seen the pictures on the website. Emily Moon is visually very appealing. We arrived at lunchtime and walked past the pool to the reception and were shown to our room. I think it was number 6. It had a lovely balcony overlooking the Bitou River and the room was... more

We spent four nights in October in room 3. This is a split level room with a large verandah .This room is the nearest to the restaurant and at times could be noisy. In all other respects this is a lovely room with a super view. One wet night we appreciated having the log fire. We ate at the restaurant... more

My husband and I stayed in Emily Moon for two nights in May. We had a beautiful spacious room with a fantastic view overlooking the river. A place had been reserved for us in the restaurant on the night we arrived and the food and service was superb, so good in fact that we ate there both nights. Although it... more

Well situated a short distance outside the center of Plettenburg bay on the side of a hill above the wetlands of the Botou River, the Lodge offers first class accomodation. Our suite was spacious, light, uniquely and imaginatively decorated, and comes with delightful views. The beds and pillows are most comfortable and complimented with the snowiest of white linen, as... more
