Wild Spirit Lodge and Backpackers

 
 

Description

Wild Spirit Lodge is situated at Khoinania on the edge of the Tsitsikamma National Park, close to Nature's Valley beach. Surrounded by indigenous forests with stunning 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 three exuberant and very friendly dogs just waiting to bound up and meet you. The accommodation ranges from simple camp sites with incredible views to en-suite double rooms or a family room, 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 is great places to spend a lazy day.

Check-In  02:00 PM   Check-Out 10:00 AM

Character: We are located on a farm with an old Cape Dutch style farmhouse. The gardens run into the valleys of indigenous forest.

Outstanding Views: Wild Spirit Lodge overlooks the Tsitsikamma Mountain range with Peak Formosa in the distance. The views from the dorm rooms and deck areas are stunningly beautiful. The farm is surrounded by valley of indigenous forest and fynbos.

Great Place
Armin Diemer, South Africa
09 August 2010
Unfortunately we had only one day in the Knysna area, but I am glad that we spent it there, the people are all interesting and friendly and the place is well situated. I hope to be back soon...
De-stressing weekend
Gaynor Knoetze, South Africa
09 April 2010
What a wonderful and restful place and the views are food for the soul. Being more mature wondered how we would fit in with the "backpacker" style but no worries. Everyone was so friendly and we never felt out of place. Will definitely return for a de-stressing weekend.

We had a great time in a great setting. We belong to the Cape Town hiking community and will spread the word about this great overnight spot to use before or after hikes in the Tsitsikamma area.
