October 8, 2019Set on the banks of the Bitou River in Plettenberg Bay, Emily Moon River Lodge is an exclusive boutique hotel with a quirky attitude and a distinctly African air.
Emily Moon River Lodge is owned by Mark and Christine Valentine. The hotel is filled with the treasures they have collected from their travels all over Africa, Asia and Polynesia. Most of their rare finds are destined for Amatuli Artefacts, their eclectic trading store in Johannesburg but some find a home at the Emily Moon River Lodge. This luxurious boutique hotel is managed by Alex Olivier who maintain the impeccable standards and the warm, welcoming ambience that attracts visitors from all over the world.
Emily’s Restaurant is the most exquisite of dining halls. The spirit of Africa is in every archway, every antique table and in the collectors’ items which adorn every nook and cranny. Feast your eyes on Kelims, Samburu spears, sculptures, old photographs, maps, paintings and everything else that breathes the rich textures of Africa. Lunch by the pool or dine by candlelight and remember the experience for the rest of your life.
Simons Bar, located above Emily’s Restaurant, is beautifully designed with vintage boat engines decorating the walls and in the centre a wood–fired pizza oven that produces the best artisan pizzas in the Garden Route. The Bar stocks beautiful Cape wines and our barman makes a mean cocktail to enjoy feet up, watching the sun set over the Bitou River.
Our hotel is made up of six deluxe luxury suites, eight luxury suites and two family suites, featuring rare artefacts and found-items collected from the length and breadth of Africa and beyond.
