Fossil Hills

From €62/ person in June

A peaceful getaway on a working wine farm in the Breede Valley.

With spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, Fossil Hills offers guests the opportunity to relax in peace and quiet on a working wine farm in the Klein Karoo. Located in the Breede Valley between Robertson and McGregor, the self-catering accommodation is located on Thornvilla, a farm that has been in the Naudé family for generations. The name, Fossil Hills, refers to the unique fossils that are continuously being discovered on the farm, with the earliest specimens dating back 355 million years. Guests can enjoy activities such as walks between the orchids, exploring the mountain trails and picnics – completely unwinding in the idyllic and tranquil surroundings.
