Emily Moon River Lodge... in Plettenberg Bay... WOW - what a beautiful place!!!


The view from the chalets and the restaurant is breathtaking - overlooking the Bitou river... it almost look like a very small part of the Okavango Delta.




The atmosphere at the lodge is vibey and relaxed and it feels like you just want to be there... being there is a destination in itself. They have this beautiful restaurant with food to die for. The restaurant is quite popular and reservations need to be made in advance. There is just such a 'lekker' feel to this lodge. All the furniture, decor and materials are from all over the world. The owner has been travelling a lot and he also has a furniture and decor shop in Johannesburg and at Emily Moon River Lodge... so you can even buy these beautiful things.



This is the beautiful view I've been talking about:




This is the entrance to the restaurant... you can also sit outside for lunch and dinner:



Here it is... the furniture shop at the lodge (lovely things):




They also have a sushi bar called Katy:



The owner's one daughter's name is Katy so the Sushi Bar has been named after her and his other daughter's name is Emily and the restaurant has been named after her. The name of the lodge also has a unique story behind it so be sure to ask your hosts if you get the change to visit them.

Each chalet has a private viewing deck and all the chalets are beautifully decorated with all the amenities you'll need. I highly recommend Emily Moon River Lodge for honeymooners, romantic getaways or even a long holiday in the Garden Route.
