About

Emily Moon is widely considered one of the most stunning dining venues in Plettenberg Bay. The setting, overlooking the Bitou River, is truly magical, especially at sunset. While the food is generally high-quality and the atmosphere is top-tier, some guests have noted that service can be inconsistent and prices are on the higher side. It remains a premier choice for a special occasion or a memorable sunset dinner.
