We had to go to bed and sleep with constraint scratching and sliding noises, that was terrible. When we brought it to the attention of the team, they didn’t even bother apologising. The dinning experience over dinner and breakfast was terrible - worst service I’ve seen for a while and average food (it’s quite expensive considering its surroundings). Stay away! The place itself is beautiful, well equipped and has nice facilities, it’s a shame that the staff is so untrained. ##### Ido ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mathew 15 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A gem with an amazing view (and great restaurant)!

But our arrival at Emily Moons blew this theory out of the water! From the attractive entrance we knew we had chosen somewhere special and the warm welcome at Reception confirmed this. We were shown to our river lodge which was spacious,beautifully furnished and luxurious with so many thoughtful touches that it’s hard to list them all. Candles, pool/beach towels in a basket we could take with us on a day out, umbrellas, a torch, and plentiful supplies in the bathroom as well as fresh milk in the fridge, replenished daily. Oh, and the view! The lodges have been cleverly positioned so none are overlooked. From your balcony deck The Bijou river winds seaward providing ever changing bird life with each tide. So that’s the accommodation. Now to the food. Breakfast is two fold and plentiful. You can order a selection of cooked breakfasts and also there is a bountiful buffet full of every type of fruit, cereal, fresh bread, jam, muffins, mini quiche to suit all tastes. As a guest you are automatically reserved an evening table at Emily’s restaurant. If you wish to dine elsewhere or in Simon’s bar above, where they serve tasty wood fired pizzas, they will release your table for resale. The Food is top notch and the staff are fantastic. We loved every minute of our stay here. Thoroughly recommend. ##### Tristan Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Dec 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Gardenroute Die Lage des Hotels ist super. Das Essen im Restaurant ist ausgezeichnet. Es wird nur alles sehr schnell reserviert und es geht sehr hektisch zu. Das Servicepersonal wirkt sehr unorganisiert.Das Frhstück ist exzellent. Nur insgesamt müsste das Hotel mal rundum erneuert werden. Es sei denn, man liebt den Vintage Style. Zimmer war gemütlich, jedoch waren nachts im Dach ständig Tiere unterwegs (Mäuse etc.) Dadurch war der Schlaf sehr beeinträchtigt ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zach, Oakland, CA 13 Nov 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic spot!
