Overview
Fossil Hills Eagle 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.
