Three nights at Emily Moon could not have provided a more enjoyable start to South Africa. The staff, food and general ambience were outstanding. More

I am not sure it could have been more perfect. The setting was glorious, the heavens provided a magnificent full moon and a clear sky, the dining room was so beautiful. The food was excellent and the service equally so. After the party we retired to a gorgeous room. Beautiful big bath with a view...my favourite thing. Lovely crisp linen... More

The only disappointment was that I think the website makes the rooms look nicer than they are. Having said that, I think it's a good 4 star "family" option near Plette. The food at the restaurant is good and I think it's more known locally for that than the lodge. The views were the best part. The bed was pretty... More

Truly beautiful, stylish, peaceful time out! The staff at Emily Moon River Lodge are very accommodating and helpful. The lodge we stayed in was spotlessly clean, comfortable bed with gorgeous linen, beautiful bath with views! Emily Moon is beautiful in the summer to sit on the deck with a good book & a glass of wine or winter with a... More

Emily Moon has a lovely vibe to it. It's not 5 star luxury but it doesn't attempt to be. It has a kind of shabby chicness to it. There are lots of mismatched items all over the place and lovely artifacts everywhere. The room we had was very nice with a fantastic view from the bath. The restaurant is very... More

Each individual Lodge is spacious, with a luxurious quality and spectacular views. Splendid breakfasts and very helpful staff. Emily Moon is well situated to explore this area of the "Garden Route" with wonderful beaches on the door step. If you don't want to eat in there are plenty of good restaurants close by and even a taxi service from the... More

My wife and I stayed here for two nights in February 2012. The place is in a lovely setting with fabulous views over the countryside and the accommodation in our own separate lodge was excellent. The room was a nice size with separate lounge area and nice size bathroom and separate shower and the decor was stylish and well thought... More
