Located in Plettenberg Bay and a 2-minute walk from the beach, The Robberg Beach Lodge offers luxury accommodation with Indian Ocean, garden or Robberg Nature Reserve views. It features 2 outdoor pools, a sun terrace and a braai area.

Everything! This was the highlight of our trip to South Africa. The guest house is in a fabulous location- right at the waterfront. We had amazing views of the whales and dolphins each morning at breakfast. The breakfast was delicious, as was the dinner. We ate there twice during our four night stay! The staff here are amazing. They are so friendly and cheerful and go out of their way to help you. Pila checked us in and also served us during our 2 nights in the restaurant. She is such a sweetheart and we really loved having her serve us. Zulu was also such a breath of fresh air and was always smiling! Thank you for an amazing stay in Plett!

Everything about this villa is classy and upmarket, the fixtures and furniture at this place is truly exceptional. Bernard helped me with easy checkin and checkout and fixed a fire for me in the TV room fireplace, he is such a gem. Value for money like this I have never experienced in any of my travels. Bed super comfortable with high quality linen. Highly recommended.

    The location because I was not driving and relied on public transport, I used to jog in the mornings whilst lodging there, the lodge is close to many attractions.

    Breakfast was good, not a lot of options but good enough as a meal. I appreciate the little gestures at the lodge, things like your openers, electric blankets, fridge, etc Paying attention to such details makes a place stand out.

    The view is quite lovely. We had everything we needed and at night we took the camping loungers out onto the terrace and laid back and stared at the stars. Since there is no light pollution at the lodge you are treated to an expanse of stars. The bird life is beautiful; spotted Knysna loeries in flight and the pool is also a treat. The rooms have bathrobes and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need and there is a BBQ (Weber braai) available. The layout of the unit is pleasant and set up to make the most of the view. Would come again.

    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.

    - the lodge is located in a natural paradise; directly on the Bitou River, very quiet and idyllic - rooms are nicely furnished and clean, except for the bathroom, which seemed a bit uninspired - Kerry, the hostess, was eager to give good tips and booked tables in restaurants for us in the evening as well as organizing a great safari

    John is a great host and made as feel like home with his warm welcome and his cute dogs. It was a lovely stay in the beautiful garden lodges in a calm environment. The breakfast was also really good.

    I loved the place! The lodges are not just very beautiful you also have a amazing view on the river. Sitting on the porch with a glass of wine or enjoying yourself in the bathtub or relaxing on the pool or having a massage in your room or going for a kayak tour, all of this kind of activities make your stay even more lovely. The breakfast and also the dinner is awesome. 😊 Really enjoyed the place and would love to come back some day.
