Emily Moon River Lodge

Looking out over the winding Bitou river wetlands that gently trail their way to the wild coastal shores of Plettenburg Bay and the Tsitsikamma mountains that drop into the ocean; there really is no better picture than the one you get at Emily Moon River Lodge.

What’s more every single room on the property enjoys these views, because no one should be denied that.

The nine rooms (including one honeymoon suite) are spread out on the steep ledges of this river’s southern banks and decorated with a pleasing mix of the comfortably modern and simple furniture embellished with African art and some more Oriental-style pieces. A luxurious mix of fabrics and modern fittings add to their informality and sophisticated warmth.

The activities on offer are well-suited to the adventure or sports enthusiast, although relaxing by the pool to a spot of golf is quite acceptable too and its restaurant has been given the ultimate approval by locals who frequently dine there.
