An exotically African river lodge, restaurant and function venue overlooking the Bitou River in Plettenberg Bay where luxury and peace are found in a sweeping river valley.

Emily Moon River Lodge is owned by Mark and Christine Valen

tine. 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. The love between Harry Mallard and Emily Moon touches all who visit Emily Moon River Lodge today. Legend has it that Harry built this magical place for his love and waits for her still.

There is something truly special about a wedding at Emily Moon.

The river, the views, the carefully chosen details, and the feeling of being surrounded by the people who matter most.

It’s not just a setting for the day. It becomes part of the memory.

Date night doesn’t always need to be formal.

Sometimes it’s pizza, drinks, river views, and a table that keeps you there longer than planned.

Simon’s Bar is made for those easy evenings where good food and good company do most of the work.

Winter evenings at Emily Moon are something to settle into.

The fire is lit, the air cools, and the whole place seems to slow down.

It’s the kind of evening that asks very little from you, except to sit back and enjoy where you are.

A beautiful room, an afternoon on the deck, and enough time to slow down properly.

At Emily Moon, the perfect escape is often found in the quiet moments between doing and simply being.
