WEDDINGS
Celebrate your special day surrounded by the natural beauty of the Tsitsikamma forest. Wild Spirit offers a relaxed, nature-based setting for intimate forest weddings and laid-back celebrations, with space to gather, connect, and celebrate at your own pace.
Our venue includes comfortable on-site accommodation, outdoor ceremony spaces, fire pits, and flexible catering options, making it easy to turn your wedding into a meaningful weekend experience shared with loved ones.
RETREATS & WORKSHOPS
Our peaceful forest setting provides the perfect backdrop for yoga retreats, wellness weekends, creative workshops, and facilitated group experiences. Wild Spirit offers flexible accommodation, nourishing meal options, and a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces suitable for movement, reflection, and connection.
Whether you’re hosting an intimate retreat or a larger workshop, we’re happy to work with you to create a supportive, distraction-free environment for your event.
FESTIVALS & LIVE MUSIC
Each year, from 28 December to 2 January, Wild Spirit hosts the much-loved Festival of Friends — a five-day wellness and live music festival offering a conscious, alternative way to welcome the New Year. Set in the heart of the Tsitsikamma forest, this intimate and down-to-earth gathering has just celebrated its 10th birthday, bringing together music, movement, connection, and celebration in a truly special way.
With limited tickets available, both the festival tickets and accommodation options sell out quickly each year

Throughout the year, we’re also fortunate to host live music sessions from travelling musicians passing through the Garden Route. These spontaneous performances often take place on the deck or around the boma, adding to the vibrant, community-driven spirit of the lodge.
