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.

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.

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.
