About Fossil Hills Farm Cottages

Fossil Hills offers self catering accommodation in McGregor in cottages on the Thornvilla Farm between Robertson and McGregor in the Breede River Valley. The farm has been making wine since 1950 and is a family run and owned working wine farm. During your stay you can enjoy a variety of things to do and activities.

The name Fossil Hills, comes from the fossils that were and are still found on the farm which date back to the fish age of 355 million years ago. Come and enjoy the peace and quietness of staying on a working wine farm near the most beautiful town in the Western Cape, McGregor.

Relax in total privacy in one of the private cottages or houses, all fully equipped for self-catering, while enjoying our spectacular mountain views and experiencing the magic of the area.

Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Dit was die mees ongelooflikste naweek. Die huis is beter as perfek. En nog beter as die fotos wat jy sien. Daar is tonne spasie. Kombuis het alles wat jy nodig het, so goed uitgerus, en baie van alles wat jy nodig het. Baie yskaste en vrieskaste. So skoon en netjies. Ons kan nie wag om weer te gaan nie. Eienaars is amazing, het ons op hoogte gehou, mooi ingelig oor alles en nog meer. Baie geluk met jul stunning Plek. Sien jul binnekort weer!
