Description

Fossil Hills Stone Cottage is situated on the 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 which dates back to the fish age of 355 million years ago.

The Stone Cottage is set on a hillside with views over the farm and valley. This cosy cottage is built of stone and has a thatched roof. The air-conditioned cottage can accommodate 2 adults and 2 children and comprises 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The first bedroom is furnished with a double bed and the second bedroom with 2 child-only beds. The bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower.

The open-plan living space features a dining area and a lounge furnished with comfortable couches and a fireplace. The kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge-freezer, stove, oven and microwave. Outside there is a patio with seating, a braai, and a lovely KolKol wood-fired hot tub. Two mountain bikes are provided for guests to use.

The area offers many outdoor activities such as fruit orchards, olive groves, vineyards, walking and hiking trails, mountain biking, 4x4 trails as well as bird watching in Vrolijkheid Nature Reserve. The hosts offer wine walks and guests are welcome to enquire for more information. Guests can also enjoy the pottery studio, art galleries, and cob house building or enjoy a meal at the local coffee shops, restaurants, or pubs.
