Emily Moon River Lodge
1 Rietvlei Road, 6600 Plettenberg Bay, South Africa – Excellent location - show map
We absolutely LOVED Emily Moon!! Both myself and my husband agreed that it was probably our favourite hotel we'd ever stayed at, we were so sad when we had to leave. The rooms decor was so classy, and instantly made it feel like a home from home. The communal areas were also to die for - we loved sitting with a drink looking out over the amazing views and chilling by the gorgeous pool areas. The restaurant was also incredible, we loved dining here and then chilling out by the fire afterwards - all in all a 10/10 relaxing experience. The surrounding areas are also stunning - we received some great suggestions of what to do in Plet by the owner of Emily Moon, and the walk we did in Robberg Nature Reserve ticked every box. We've already said we'd love to come back to Emily Moon one day - it is a truly special place.
