The whole place was stunning, the vibe of the hotel and restaurant was amazing-there's a two month wait list for the restaurant- so you know it's good (guests of the hotel get automatic seats!). You can canoe straight onto the river outside, there's two nice pools and the views from the rooms are just stunning. Each morning the owner greeted us with advice on where to go and what to do - adding a personal touch. We loved it and didn't want to leave.

Location right opposite the beach. Amazing views from our room. The room was beautiful and big. More than enough space for us to relax and enjoy ourselves and spread out. The dining room and outdoor areas were clean and functional. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.

The property is located in an amazing spot where you get an awesome view on the forest. The cottage was lovely and clean, you get to see the sunrise from your deck while listening to birds singing. It’s an experience you do not want to miss.

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!

Staying at the Knysna Elephant Lodge cannot be summed up in mere words such as awesome, wonderful, enchanting, spiritual. It was so magical to feed, walk with and observe these majestic land animals 24/7! The grounds were beautiful, the staff and guides fantastic and of course the elephants. Both my travel partner and I felt that if we didn’t have family and obligations back home, we would have stayed on and volunteered. It was that phenomenal of an experience!

Everything about this Lodge was awesome. The location, the staff, the elephant encounters, up to "sleeping with the elephants".

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.
