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 Lodge with accommodation for 20 adults and 4 children.
Each luxurious suite is a separate lodge for 2 people with their own sitting area, private viewing deck, dressing room and spacious fully appointed bathroom with under floor and towel rail heating. The family units sleep four with a shower, toilet and hand basin in the children’s room. All have their own unique Africa chic look with breathtaking views of the valley below. There are 3 units that can be either king size beds or convert into two singles for those with this preference. There are two lodges which do not have full river views but have their own Robinson Crusoe private viewing tree top deck right next to the lodge where one can commune with nature, have sundowners, early morning coffee or just read a book - the view from these is magnificent. These two lodges can be made into a family room for six as there is a fully sound proof door between them which can be opened for the occasion of a family of six. Four of the lodges have a completely private alfresco shower hot and cold where one can enjoy the river birdlife.
The restaurant Emily’s exudes the essence, spirit and mystery of Africa with Beautiful collectors items in every hue, texture and shape adorning every nook and cranny. Kelims, Persian, Nguni skins carved mermaids, Samburu spears, sculptures, old framed photographs, maps paintings, fabulous pieces of furniture are just a sample of the many pieces from this and other continents.
Jana our chef extraordinaire produces an eclectic menu for candlelit dinners with a daily changing menu of whatever is the freshest. The menu is as capricious as the weather, today its broccoli and gorgonzola soup, Thai spring rolls, succulent rack of lamb, fresh calamari seeped in Jana’s secret sauce, cheese cake or chocolate gateau tomorrow springbok with cranberry sauce or grilled cob! Whatever is freshest and of the best quality is served on the daily basis.
A large deck overlooking the river for sundowners and cocktails where guests can watch the beautiful sun sets with the carved Ethiopian day bed in front of the log fire being a popular choice.
There is a private pool for guests and canoes are available for leisurely paddle trips on the river We are close to superb beaches, shops, golf courses and other restaurants and conveniently positioned for many of the special tourist attractions on the Garden Route. Bicycles are available for that early morning late afternoon ride and birds are in abundance for the twitchers!
The stylish elegance and ambience of Emily’s, the luxury and comfort of the rooms, the peace and tranquillity of the surroundings as well as the welcoming personal service of the Emily Moon hosts makes this one of South Africa’s most select and magical destination.
A quote from Visi Magazine:
“This proves that a little cunning and a lot of passion are the essential ingredients when putting together one of the most original guest houses on the planet.”
