Set 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 maintains the impeccable standards and the warm, welcoming ambience that attracts visitors from all over the world
