I absolutely loved the remoteness of the cottage. The kitchen was amazing, it had everything and more that you might need. Sitting on the stoep and watching the Springbuck walk past gave that true farm feeling. Lying in the hot tub and watching...

Company info

Welcome to Fossil Hills Nestled in the picturesque Breede Valley, Fossil Hills is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Naudé family. Located between Robertson and McGregor, Thornvilla, our family-run farm, has been at the heart of local agriculture and winemaking since 1950. The farm’s rich history is intertwined with the discovery of ancient fossils dating back 355 million years, lending the land an air of mystique and timeless beauty. Fossil Hills is more than a farm; it’s a retreat into the wonders of nature and the tranquility of countryside living. Here, amidst breathtaking mountain vistas and the gentle rhythms of farm life, guests can find a peaceful escape, a place to rejuvenate the spirit and reconnect with the essence of the natural world, offering farm-style accommodation, a wedding or private function venue and one to three-day trial wine walks.

Property info

Located 3km from McGregor & 16km from Robertson. Situated 16km from the farm is the R62 wine route where you will be able to taste and enjoy the various wine that make the Breede Valley so popular. When you stay with us, you will be surrounded by nature, which is great setting for our woodfired Outdoor Hot Tubs (KolKol Tubs) - a special feature with all of our cottages. Please Note: “The Proprietor, its agent’s and/or its employee/s shall not be liable for, and the guest/s hereby waive/s and abandon/s any claims of whatever nature including but not limited to that for theft, injury, loss or damage of whatever nature, against the Proprietor, whether arising from the Proprietor’s default, negligence or otherwise.

Neighborhood info

Come and enjoy the peace and quietness of staying on a working wine farm near the most beautiful town in the Western Cape, McGregor. Here life is slow, tranquil and gentle. Relax in total privacy while enjoying our spectacular mountain views. The region is known for excellent wines as part of the Robertson Wine Valley. The area offers many outdoor activities, arts and crafts, tranquillity and relaxation. Surrounded by mountain trails, fruit orchards, olive groves and vineyards, the village has maintained a rural peaceful ambience which is an inspiration to artists. There are walking/hiking trails, mountain biking, stargazing bird watching in Vrolijkheid Nature Reserve, a pottery studio, art galleries, cob house building and enjoyable meals and chats at one of our coffee shops, restaurants or pubs. The most spectacular hiking trail is the Boesmanskloof trail from McGregor to Greyton. We provide Mountain bikes, as well as kayaks and fishing rods for some fun in the farm dams. Viljoendrift, another working winefarm in the area, offer a slow boat cruise up and down the Breede River. This is always a must when visiting the valley.
