The place was absolutely stunning, truly breathtaking! However, the wifi was so weak that we couldn't even watch Netflix or video call our in-laws to show them the beauty of the surroundings.

Staying at Emily Moon River was best night we had on our Trip. From the design to the staff, every thing was just amazing. Reception welcomed us and showed us around. The room we got was clean and well equiped (also had a great view), The pool was real nice and Private for the guests. We had dinner at the Emily's restaurant which was super tasty!

The Fernery Main Lodge where we stayed is on top of cliff with a spectacular view over a gorge and sea. The room we stayed in was fitted with a fire place, kitchenette, electric blankets. The breakfast was fresh and well prepared.

The view at Boardwalk Lodge is fantastic - from our apartment we could look out over Wilderness and the beautiful ocean, even managing to watch a whale in the waters one afternoon. The apartment was perfect for our family, it was clean, comfortable and very spacious. The bathrooms were a great size.

The unique experience and oppertunity viewing the elephants at night and at rest as well as the interaction with them and the guides. The rooms were pristine, warm and comfortable. The lodge was very accommodating with any special requests! Rhe Cafè was comfi and the food was good. The kids could enjoy the ducks and swans and the play area while we relaxed. A great family lodge!

The lodge was centrally located on Beachy Head Drive and thus close to each of the events that formed part of the milestone birthday celebrations of a close friend. The lodge staff, most of whom are trainees, are friendly, communicate clearly and are eager to assist.

We were three couples, glamping in three safari tents. It was our first time at this Game Lodge and it was lovely. We have been to other lodges but this one was by far the best.

The highlight of our South Africa trip! Emily Moon River Lodge is an amazing property with the coolest boho decor and incredible lodges. We couldn't get over the views!! Grant was the friendliest host, reserving us a table at the popular Simon's Bar for pizza and live music, and recommending lots of things to do in the area. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Beautiful lodges with spacious tastefully furnished rooms. The open kitchen is equipped with basic kitchen utensils and condiments. Large outdoor barbecue area. The highly recommended restaurant serves quality dishes and remarkably creative cocktails in a private athmosphere. There is plenty of opportunity for adventures on the island and it's surrounding river. The ferry to take people on and off the island works well on a 15min notice period. There indeed are Zebras roaming the island which are curious and friendly.
