Luilekker geselsies op die stoep en kol-kol.

Heerlike, rustige naweek weg van die gejaag af. Baie netjies en goed toegerus. Baie dankie dat ons die plaas kon inval!

Rustige kuier buite McGregor.

Die huis het alles gehad wat ons benodig het. Daar is soveel om te doen op die plaas. Hierdie tyd van die jaar is dit so mooi met al die veld blomme. Dit is ook baie naby aan McGregor dorpie self waar jy op 'n Saterdag heerlik kan gaan eet en kuier by die markie. Ons het dit baie geniet.

Quiet stroll outside McGregor.

The house had everything we needed. There is so much to do on the farm. This time of year it is so beautiful with all the field flowers. It is also very close to McGregor town itself where you can go for a delicious meal and visit the market on a Saturday. We enjoyed it very much.

Fantasiese verjaarsdag naweek saam met familie en vriende.

Fossil Hills Pinotage House is voorwaar 'n juweel van' n plek met soveel doen dinge. Die huis is baie ruim en netjies met alles wat ons nodig kon hê. Dit het 'n lekker groot binne kuier area en die tuine is so mooi. Die fotos op die webblad doen beslis nie die plekkie gereg nie, dis 10 keer beter. Ons het baie lekker gekuier, en die houtvuurbad is ook' n wenner. Ons het ook lekker oggend stappies geneem, piekniek en kanovaart by Fossil Hills se dam gaan doen, en wynproe by McGregor Wynplaas, net oorkant Pinotage house binne stapafstand. Ek sal beslis die plekkie aanbeveel, 5 sterre is heeltemal te min.

Fantasy birthday weekend with family and friends.

Fossil Hills Pinotage House is truly a gem of a place with so many things to do. The house is very spacious and tidy with everything we could need. It has a nice big indoor sitting area and the gardens are so beautiful. The photos on the website certainly don't do the place justice, it's 10 times better. We had a great time, and the wood-fired bath is also a winner. We also took nice morning walks, went picnicking and canoeing at Fossil Hills dam, and wine tasting at McGregor Wine Farm, just opposite Pinotage house within walking distance. I would definitely recommend the place, 5 stars is way too little.

Ons het ons kuier in die kliphuis baie geniet in ure in die warmbadjie gesit en oor die heuwels gestaar. Dis beslis die regte plek as jy nodig het om weg te kom uit die stad en jou batterye te herlaai. Die huis was silwerskoon en goed ingerig en die gasvrou is baie vriendelik en akkommoderend.

Verskriklike oulike verblyf.

Ons het ons kuier by hierdie kothuise baie geniet. Dit is lekker afgeleë van die res van die kothuise in die mooiste omgewing. Dis naby die dam en die begin van die staproetes wat ons baie geniet het. Die houtvuur-warmbad op die stoep was 'n wenner en ons het ure lank gesit en kuier. Die kothuise is baie goed toegerus en ons het die elektriese komberse en oorgenoeg vuurmaakhout waardeer. Ina is 'n wonderlike gasvrou en ons kom graag weer terug.

Terribly cute stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at these cottages. It is nicely secluded from the rest of the cottages in the most beautiful surroundings. It's close to the dam and the start of the hiking trails which we really enjoyed. The wood fired hot tub on the porch was a winner and we sat and visited for hours. The cottages are very well equipped and we appreciated the electric blankets and ample firewood. Ina is a wonderful hostess and we would love to come back again.

Vadersdag-naweek saam al my kinders en gades, lekker gestap, visgevang, gebraai en gekuier.

Hierdie was ons jaarlikse Karoonaweek oor Vadersdag waar ek en my vrou met al die kinders en gades bymekaarkom. Ons het die pragtige dorp van Mcgregor deurgestap en lekker by The Courtyard geëet. Verder het die donkies by Eseltjiesrus my vrou se hart gesteel. Die groot erf was baie lekker vir ons honde wat kon hardloop na hartelus. Pinotage huis was baie mooi skoon, beddens slaap heerlik en al die geriewe was daar wat nodig was.

This was our annual Caro weekend over Father's Day where my wife and I gather with all the children and spouses. We walked through the beautiful town of McGregor and had a nice meal at The Courtyard. Furthermore, the donkeys at Eseltjiesrus stole my wife's heart. The large yard was very nice for our dogs who could run to their heart's content. Pinotage house was very nice and clean, beds slept great and all the amenities were there that were needed.

Ons naweek by Lemon tree cottage was hemels. Lekker privaat. 4x4 was groot pret. Ons sou 'n bietjie van 'n groter bed verkies het, maar dit is 'n persoonlike keuse aangesien my man 'n reus is. Alles was perfek gewees, skoon en netjies. Sien julle beslis weer.

Rustige plaaskuier.

Heerlike plaaskuier om die batterye weer te herlaai. Dit was goed vir die siel om 'n paar dae in die natuur te kon deurbring. Die 4x4-roete neem jou oor 'n groot gedeelte van die plaas. Die kothuis is goed toegerus met alles wat nodig is, selfs 'n TV met DStv wat ons nie verwag het nie (eintlik is 'n TV nie eers nodig in die omgewing nie).

A wonderful farm visit to recharge the batteries. It was good for the soul to be able to spend a few days in nature. The 4x4 route takes you over a large part of the farm. The cottage is well equipped with everything needed, even a TV with DStv which we didn't expect (actually a TV is not even needed in the area).

Perfekte wegbreek!

Ina het uit haar pad gegaan om 'n perfekte wegbreek te verseker. Ons kon werklik met niks fout vind nie, alles was perfek en die "fire wood hot tub" was beslis 'n treffer. Fossil Hills is naby genoeg om die omgewing te verken, maar die stilte van die omgewing was vir ons 'n groot bederf.

Fantasties.

Dit was 'n onvergeetlike paar dae wat ons gehad het. Net die natuur rondom jou die, voëls in die oggende wat jou wakker maak. Weg van al die geraas en gejaag van die lewe. Ons het heeltemal afgeskakel en was so vinnig verby. Huis was pragtig van binne. En wanneer ons vir Ina gebel het was sy beskikbaar en het gehelp. Ons het ook heerlik langs die dam vleis gebraai en net die dag saam geniet. Ons sal definitief weer kom.

We also grilled meat deliciously by the pond and just enjoyed the day together. We will definitely come again.

Die huisie was baie netjies en skoon. Elke denkbare ding was daar: tandestokkies, skêr ens.

Anna het vir ons kom oopsluit en sy was vriendelik en professioneel. Ina was byderhand met inligting oor die omgewing. Om al die gejaag weg te vee het ons uitgepak en dadelik die natuur op die plaas gaan opsoek deur die 4x4-roete te doen en bietjie in afsondering die klippe en plante bekyk. Dit was 'n hartlike, vriendelike plekkie. Die natuurskoon, ontwikkeling van nuwe landerye, die groen van die wingerde en boorde en dan natuurlik die propvol damme. Pragtig! Dit was lekker!

Anna came to unlock for us and she was friendly and professional. Ina was on hand with information about the area. To wipe away all the hustle and bustle we unpacked and immediately went to look for nature on the farm by doing the 4x4 route and looking at the rocks and plants in isolation. It was a warm, friendly place. The natural beauty, development of new fields, the green of the vineyards and orchards and then of course the full of ponds. Beautiful! It was nice!

The Aloe Cottage had everything we wanted and could accommodate our 4 dogs. Fossil Hills Cottages has many family friendly activities and loads of hiking trails for your furry friends.

Fantasties! Dit het almal se verwagtinge oorskry. Onvergeetlik!

Ons het vir die langnaweek in Pinotage House gaan bly. Ons was 16 volwassenes, 8 kinders en 5 honde, en almal het hulle gate uit geniet! Die reuse erf/grasperk, lekker klimraam met swaaie, buitebraai en Jacuzzi maak hierdie plek 'n droombestemming. Verder is die binnebraai en lekker kuiertafel perfek vir saans wanneer die kwik daal. Ons kon nie vir 'n beter plek gewens het nie. Dis ruim, stil, veilig en die kombuis het elke ding wat jy nodig het. Elke kamer het lugversorging, daar is badkamer-bederfies en oorgenoeg handdoeke. Ag, ek kan 'n boek skryf oor hoe ongelooflik hierdie plek is! Dankie Ina, dit was onvergeetlik!

Salige wegbreek in die stilte.

Ons besoek aan Fossil Hills Farm Cottages was baie lekker. Die huisie is goed toegerus, maar moet liefs nie met heel klein kindertjies gaan tensy julle 'n manier gaan kry om die baie steil trappe totaal te vermy nie. Ons kinders is 2 en 4 en gelukkig kon ons die trap vermy. Die warmwaterbadjie buite is heerlik, dit werk baie goed en ons het almal so ontspan in die warm water. Die wind het baie gewaai, en dit het die braaityd 'n bietjie negatief beïnvloed, so check die weer voor julle gaan. Ons het 'n pap wiel gekry op die laaste dag op die grondpad op pad na die huisie, gelukkig kon ons dit self herstel, maar wees versigtig vir die pad as julle nie 'n 4x4 het nie. Ek dink die stilte is wonderlik daar bo, en ons het geensins onveilig gevoel op enige stadium nie. Inteendeel, mens voel ver verwyderd van enige dorpie, alhoewel McGregor net 'n kort afstand weg is. Robertson met sy winkels en apteke is ook net 'n paar kilometers weg, so dis baie gerieflik. Neem 'n paar boeke, 'n inkleurboek of twee, en miskien 'n legkaart of iets wat die kinders sal besig hou aangesien daar geen TV is nie - wat 'n heerlike ondervinding! 'n Mens kan regkom sonder TV! Dit was goed vir liggaam en siel. Die huisie het ook 'n lugversorger en 'n heerlike bad en stort. Daar is 3 bergfietse om te gebruik asook 2 visstokkies. Oor die algemeen 'n baie goeie wegbreek weg van alles!

Blissful getaway in the silence.

Our visit to Fossil Hills Farm Cottages was very enjoyable. The cottage is well equipped, but please don't go with very small children unless you find a way to avoid the very steep stairs altogether. Our children are 2 and 4 and luckily we were able to avoid the stairs. The hot tub outside is lovely, it works very well and we all relaxed so much in the hot water. The wind blew a lot, and it affected the barbecue time a little negatively, so check the weather before you go. We got a flat tire on the last day on the dirt road on the way to the cottage, luckily we were able to fix it ourselves, but be careful of the road if you don't have a 4x4. I think the quiet is wonderful up there, and we didn't feel unsafe at any point. On the contrary, one feels far removed from any village, although McGregor is only a short distance away. Robertson with its shops and pharmacies is also just a few kilometers away, so it's very convenient. Take some books, a coloring book or two, and maybe a puzzle or something that will keep the kids occupied since there is no TV - what a lovely experience! One can manage without TV! It was good for body and soul. The cottage also has an air conditioner and a lovely bath and shower. There are 3 mountain bikes to use as well as 2 fishing rods. Overall a very good getaway away from it all!

Hi Ria,
Baie dankie vir jou positiewe terug veering oor julle verblyf by Fossil Hills.
Ek sal beslis iets voor die trap sit in die toekoms vir klein kindertjies. Aloe cottage is 'n meer kinder vriendelik sonder enige trappe.
Ons idee sonder TV by Fossil Hills is spesifiek om weer te kan gesels en mekaar se harte opnuut te hoor, kuier, stories vertel, speletjies te speel en om die veld en natuur te verken.
Ons sien uit daarna om julle weer indie toekoms te akkommodeer.

Heaven on earth.

Fossil Hills cottage was the perfect place to celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary! The stone cottage had such a romantic feel about it, it was private, very well equipped and the views over the vineyards and valley was magnificent. The hot tub outside was a winner and we even enjoyed star gazing from the tub during windy evenings. Thank you Ina, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
