Description
Fossil Hills Aloe Cottage is situated on Thornvilla Farm, in the Breede Valley between Robertson and McGregor. This working wine farm forms part of the McGregor Winery. Grapes, plums, apricots, and various vegetables are harvested each year. The name 'Fossil Hills' comes from the fossils that were and are still found on the farm, dating back to the Age of Fishes 355 million years ago.

The first bedroom in the main house is furnished with a double bed and the second bedroom with 2 single beds. The guest bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower.
