Experience the magic of Emily Moon River Lodge – a boutique escape located on the banks of the Bitou River in Plettenberg Bay, a popular travel destination in the Western Cape. Known for its spectacular setting and unique decor, Emily Moon exudes African charm with a touch of eccentricity. There are 16 individually-designed suites, each overlooking the flowing river, wetlands beyond and mountains in the distance. Owned by Mark and Christine Valentine, the lodge showcases treasures from their global explorations, adding a unique character to a nature-based stay.
Guests can choose to stay in one of six superior luxury suites, eight luxury suites, or two family suites, each decorated with personally collected artefacts that resonate with the spirit of Africa. Emily’s Restaurant, the popular on-site eatery, is a treasure trove of African textures and cultures, and is known for tasty meals in a fun ambience. Simon's Bar, located just above the restaurant, delights visitors with vintage boat engines and a wood-fired pizza oven against the stunning backdrop of the Bitou River. There's no better place for a sundowner!
Located on the outskirts of Plettenberg Bay, a coastal town renowned for its blue-flag beaches and relaxed charm, Emily Moon River Lodge is a jewel along the Western Cape's Garden Route. With forests, mountains, and river valleys, Plettenberg Bay is a hub for adventure, culture, and culinary adventures. The Bitou River ecosystem is home to endemic bird species and indigenous flora, perfect for catching a glimpse of the local wildlife.
Emily Moon River Lodge celebrates these surrounds by encouraging guests to embark on local hikes in the nearby Robberg Nature Reserve and Tsitsikamma Forest, and also provides guests with kayaks should they wish to take a paddle along the Bitou. There's also a beautiful swimming pool and multiple river-facing viewing decks for soaking up the views.
