Wild Spirit, along with the surrounding areas of Loredo, The Crags, and Kurland, has been heavily affected by one of the biggest storms we’ve seen in years, with some areas receiving between 300–400mm of rain over a very short period.

After the storm and everything the area has been through over the last few days, we’re slowly starting to get Wild Spirit back up and running again.

​

We are still open and taking bookings again for travellers who still want to come through and experience Wild Spirit during this time.​ Wild Spirit has always been a haven for travellers, and we want to keep it that way for the people who genuinely want to be here, connect, and be part of the experience, even through challenging times.​ We are currently running one generator dedicated to water pumping, and one generator for lights, Wi-Fi, and essential lodge connectivity.

​

FOR HOT WATER SHOWERS: WE ARE NOW RUNNING  A GAS GEYSER IN THE OUTDOOR SHOWERS NEXT TO THE LOERIE COTTAGE AS WELL AS AN ADDITIONAL ONE IN OUR CAMPSITE.

​

At the moment, our guest cottages (private rooms and dorms) are without lights and hot water, however the communal lodge areas have lights and reliable Wi-Fi and everything still feels cosy and lovely. Candles are being provided in all guest rooms.

We truly appreciate everyone’s support, patience, and kindness during this time.

​

While the first major storm has now passed, the region is currently experiencing widespread utility challenges, including:

• Area wide power outages  
• Limited water supplies
• No hot water/heating in some areas (including us at Wild Spirit)  
• Intermittent cell signal and network connectivity  

 

The local municipality and repair teams are working hard to restore services, but at this stage we unfortunately cannot confirm when the full power grid and utilities will return.​ That said, if you’re happy to embrace a little adventure and rough it out with us through the stormy magic of the Garden Route, we would still absolutely love to take care of our guests.

​

Please keep safe in this time,  
The Wild Spirit Team.
