Where luxury and peace are to be found in a sweeping river valley. Where the views encompass a wetland, winding river and distant mountains and where the call of the Fish Eagle will forever remind you of the vast skies of Africa .
Embracing the southern bank of the Bitou River in Plettenberg Bay, Emily Moon River Lodge is a small, exclusive Lodge with accommodation for just 16 adult guests and two children.
Each luxurious suite is a separate lodge for two people, with their own sitting areas, private viewing decks and spacious, fully appointed bathrooms.
The most perfect accommodation in Plettenberg Bay for all who wish to escape to the peace and serenity of nature.
Accommodation
The eight separate luxurious lodges are private, large and sumptuous with a décor one might term as chic African contemporary. All have breathtaking views!
Accommodation in seven lodges for two adults per unit, plus one family lodge sleeping two adults and two children.
Each secluded lodge is individually and stylishly furnished. Spacious living area. Fully appointed bathroom with under floor heating. Each room is fitted with mini bars and satellite TV. Wooden viewing deck. Open air shower. Ceiling fan. Plantation blinds. Fireplace. Artworks collected from afar.
Indigenous vegetation surrounds the lodge with a completely natural look, although much thought and planning has been given to the positioning of the various flora beautiful statue like aloes – a few colourful exotics have been added to encourage and host the birdlife. A leafy boardwalk takes you down to the private guest pool and canoes.
We also have a very beautiful Self-Catering house on the Piesang River in Plettenbergbay, on a large piece of land, that can accommodate 6 people or more.

Restuarant
We have a stunning restaurant in the name of EMILY'S which exudes the essence, spirit and feel of Africa with beautiful collectors pieces in every nook and cranny.
Chris our chef extraordinaire produces an eclectic menu for candlelit dinners and fun lunches around the pool area and our barman is a dab hand at cocktails in the evening whilst watching a magnificent sunset! The deck tables virtually hang over the river and have a spectacular view of the wetlands, river and far distant mountains.
Katy’s vibey little sushi bar offers the best in town and a platter with a glass of chilled wine is ideal for a light lunch.
A large log fire for the winter months is a popular spot for that after dinner Irish or just a cosy little chat.
Relax at our beautiful pool and enjoy the surrounds.
Activities
Our position has a unique outlook over the Bitou Valley and Wetland with the winding Bitou River running through it.
Guests are invited to use the canoes for that gentle paddle up the river and for the more strenuous exercise we have mountain bikes which can be ridden in the area or taken to the nearby forest trails. There are many walks to be had on the nearby farm roads and a 2 km brisk walk takes one down to the beautiful Keerbooms marshlands where the river meets the sea and it’s beauty is breath taking!
We have two pools, one part of the restaurant and the other down a leafy boardwalk, stunningly beautiful and for the sole use of our Emily Moon guests.
The river hosts an abundancy of water bird life and with the riverine bush that attracts many species of birds, we would say great for twitches!
We are close to the superb beaches, shops, golf courses and other restaurants and conveniently positioned for covering a large area of the Garden Route
