The Featherbed Co have been worked hard at rebuilding the infrastructure and facilities as well as rehabilitating the vegetation since the devastating Knysna fires in June 2017 razed the restaurant and tourist facilities to the ground and left most of the plant-life reduced to ashes. Re-opening the standard Featherbed Eco Tours were an exciting moment, these are the tours started the Featherbed business and remained as the core product for 32 years.

The formula for visiting the Featherbed Nature Reserve will remain unchanged. Visitors who want to enjoy a tour of the reserve will be transported on board the Featherbed ferry from the terminal at the Cruise Café on Remembrance Drive. At the reserve, the Featherbed guides will lead guests on a 4×4 journey to the top of the Western Head – offering spectacular views over Knysna and the lagoon. Your clients will then have the option of either following the 2.2 km coastal walk or returning by vehicle to the restaurant where they will enjoy a scrumptious lunch, followed by a return boat transfer back to town.

The Food Forest restaurant has been redesigned and rebuilt from the ground up, complimented by a new indoor facility to accommodate all weather conditions when needed.

Featherbed is planning on offering exciting new tour options, of shorter duration, allowing guests with less time on their itinerary to visit the reserve. Keep an eye out for these offers coming soon!
