Emily Moon River Lodge, close to Plettenberg Bay, is a tranquil haven with glorious sweeping views of the river and vlei. The eight chalets are stylishly decorated with interesting African furniture and artefacts and clean simple lines. Each has a sitting area with fireplace, TV, telephone, minibar, ceiling fan and a private wooden deck overlooking the river. Facilities include a swimming pool, canoes for paddling on the river, an acclaimed vibrant restaurant and bar. Aromatherapy massages can be arranged in your room. Only 5 minutes drive to the restaurants and beaches of 'Plett'. Ideal for birders and those who enjoy utter peace. Birds fly past at almost eye level whilst ducks and geese make their home in the reeds of the river bank.

Kate stayed here in October: "The new owners have changed and improved the look of the lodge extensively within the outline of the existing buildings and built two new chalets as well. The lodge is managed by Simon and Diane and owned by their son who is the biggest dealer in African art in SA so the new look is more modern with African touches (but still quite understated so that it works within their rural setting.) They have extended the main lodge building outwards with the addition of a wooden deck). They now have a vibrant and acclaimed restaurant which is a very welcome addition. It takes outside diners (though Emily Moon's guests have first right of refusal). I really liked the decor changes and particularly loved the ancient carved wooden doorways and doors. Mallard River now has one family unit with a second en suite bedroom below the main bedroom so that two children of any age (older as well) can be accommodated in comfort."
