We stayed here for 2 nights on our garden route tour. We really enjoyed our time in the "Right Dove" honeymoon suite. The cost was 350 zar per night and you had the option of buying dinner (55-70 zar) The dinner was DELICIOUS! The only warning I have is that it is served quite late (8 pm,) and they offer... More

Wild Spirit Backpackers is another little heaven on the Garden Route, where you can meet like-minded people, who care about the environment and love hiking the local trails to waterfalls, socializing next to the fire with a few beers and some dance/music. The place is dedicated to green tourism and is working on cutting their impact onto the local environment.... More

I have always known about the theory of feeling at one with nature, where you are deeply connected to the earth. It was at Wild Spirit that I could finally experience it for myself. The ancient trees, the wild baboons, crystal water and serene views have changed and shaped me for ever. Thank you to all the Wild Spirits that... More

Wild spirit is by far one of the most amazing guesthouse/farm/commune/resorts I have ever stayed at. Not only for the amazing Natures Valley that surrounds the farm and endless amounts of beautiful hikes, but for the company that you'll enjoy there. From the second we landed at wild spirit lodge we were treated like the closest of family. It seemed... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Wild Spirit Lodge and Backpackers is situated at Khoinania on the edge of the Tsitsikamma National Park, close to Nature's Valley beach. Surrounded by indigenous forests with views over the valleys and mountains, this is the ultimate place to come and relax. Located in the heart of the Garden Route, between Plettenberg Bay and Storm’s River. Upon your arrival you will be greeted by their four exuberant and very friendly dogs just waiting to bound up and meet you. The accommodation ranges from simple camp sites with incredible views to ensuite double rooms full of character. There are also bunk free dorms for weary travellers looking for a quiet spot to rest their souls. The beautifully created Driftwood Boma or cosy Log Cabin are great places to spend a lazy day, or maybe head up to the Tree House and relax in the canopy of a giant Blackwood. On those days when it is just too hot then jump into their grand swimming pool to cool down. ... more   less
