Knysna: The Featherbed Nature Reserve has been reopened!

One of Knysna's biggest tourist attractions, the Featherbed Nature Reserve, has been reopened on 01 December 2018. The privately-owned Nature Reserve, situated on the Western Head of the famous landmarks known as "The Knynsa Heads", was closed since June 2017 due to a major fire that destroyed about 90% of the vegetation in the Nature Reserve, with only patches of forest and scrub left uncharred. The Featherbed Nature Reserve offers various activities such as cruising the lagoon, nature trails and hiking "The Knysna Heads", as well as hosting private functions, conferences, and weddings at any of its venues.

Knysna: Featherbed Nature Reserve set to reopen!

One of Knysna's biggest tourist attractions, the Featherbed Nature Reserve, just announced it long-awaited re-opening. The privately-owned Nature Reserve, situated on the Western Head in Knysna, is set to open again on 15 October 2018. The Knysna Fires of 2017 destroyed about 90% of the vegetation in the Nature Reserve, with only patches of forest and scrub left uncharred. The owners therefore decided to close the Featherbed Nature Reserve so that the eco-system had time to recover.
