NOTORIOUSLY SPOILT
Based in the most elite South African holiday destination, 7 sumptuous lodges are on offer with incredible views of the Keerbooms marshland. Swim in the inviting pool, bird-watch on the fascinating nature trails, in this beautiful hotel.
Even amongst South Africans – notoriously spoilt for choice when it comes to world class holiday destinations – the Plettenburg Bay area is prized. And in this revered region Emily Moon River Lodge is the preferred option by those experienced, in-the-know visitors.
Why, you ask? Luxury combined with peace. The privacy of separate lodges perched high above a winding river valley, leading to a backdrop of monumental mountains. The chance to explore a marshland eco-system quite unlike any other. And easy accessibility to Plettenburg Bay itself, the Garden Route and superb beaches.

From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
