As a regular visitor to Featherbed, I always have a great experience. The walk is always fun and the guides and driver are well trained and experienced and knowledgeable.. The lunch is always of a high quality and definitely moreish. The desserts are equally decadent. - SAFG

an absolutely amazing experience. our family had a wonderful time and we will definitely be back. The lunch was out of this word, a build your own salad bar, the meats and chicken so tenderful and fulfilling. we even tried the pickled fish and that was one of our faves. and the desert bar was a surprise with plenty of options from cheese cake to lemingtons and malva pudding an many more. The drive up to the Island was breathtaking and the hike to the hole in the wall was so worth it. a ten out ten experience. Thanks to the team who made the day super fun. regards, Williams family - Marc-Anthony
