The setting by the dam is Idyllic with a constant stream of birds and animals. The beds are very comfortable and the outdoor shower and large (indoor) bath are a real treat. The breakfast box and welcome box were more than adequate.

This stay was unplanned and booked last minute. And we didn´t regret it! Tasty food, great wine and a lodge with a view over the game farm. The 2 game tours (evening and morning) ,included into the room rate, are fascinating. We saw all big 5, except leopard, but therefore Cheetahs on the hunt.

A lovely house in the trees, with a view. Quiet, cosy, stylish and comfortable. Great veranda to sit out on, and eat or read. Very convenient for the beautiful Garden Route. We wish we could have stayed longer. All the houses on the property are well separated from each other and not overlooked.

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 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.

Absolutely gorgeous game lodge! The pool area is beautiful and bar staff very friendly. The views are amazing and the game rides were so much fun. We loved our group and tour guide (Robyn) she was so enthusiastic and knowledgable. The whole experience is really well organised and all of the staff were so helpful. Great breakfast with lots of options

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!
