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, Emily Moon River Lodge is an exclusive boutique Guest House with accommodation for 16 adults and two children over the age of 8 years old. Each luxurious suite is a separate chalet for two people, with their own sitting areas, private viewing decks, dressing rooms and spacious fully appointed bathroom. All have breathtaking views of the valley below. The three new rooms at Emily Moon have a contemporary African chic decor and a completely private alfresco shower where one can commune with the birdlife on the river!

The restaurant Emily's exudes the essence, spirit and history of Africa with beautiful collectors pieces in every nook and cranny, Larry the chef extraordinaire produces an eclectic menu for candlelit dinners and fun lunches beside the pool but also caters for guests with specific sensitivities such as vegetarians and allergy prone persons. There is a little bar where a great buzz happens prior to dinner and a large log fireplace for after dinner Irishes or just a cosy little chat.

Emily Moon is close to the superb beaches, shops, golf courses and other restaurants and conveniently positioned for covering a large area of the Garden Route. The stylish elegance of the rooms, the peace and tranquillity of the surroundings as well as the welcoming and personal service of the hosts makes this one of South Africa's most select destinations.
