We recently stayed at Fossil Hills from Friday to Sunday for my cousin’s wedding, and the entire experience was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the welcome set the tone — warm, professional, and genuinely inviting. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the setting creates the perfect atmosphere for a special occasion. The rooms were comfortable, well-maintained, and thoughtfully prepared, while the guesthouse itself is beautifully designed and peaceful. Everything — from the venue layout to the overall attention to detail — was on point. It’s rare to find a place where everything just works, but Fossil Hills delivers. Highly recommended for weddings, getaways, or any special event.
What a lovely place to spend a quiet weekend away from the City. From booking on line to checkout, the service was outstanding. I received emails updating me on the status of my booking and giving me comprehensive information about the facility and route charges due to recent flooding. We got lost in the dark, and they sent someone to guide us out. We were even left a complementary bottle of sparkling wine because it was our anniversary. I highly recommend Fossil Hill Accommodation to those seeking good service. Ps The hot tub as absolutely fantastic. Thanks again for a wonderful weekend. Mark Ogilvie
We had such a wonderful stay at Fossil Hills! The kids absolutely loved the kayaking and spending time on the boats—it kept them entertained and gave them a real sense of adventure. Even our dog had the best time exploring and clearly loved every minute of the open space. The farm location is truly special—peaceful, scenic, and the perfect escape from busy city life. Waking up to fresh air and beautiful surroundings was exactly what we needed. The house itself was comfortable, well-equipped, and felt like a home away from home. Everything was thoughtfully set up, making our stay relaxing and enjoyable from start to finish. The hosts were always available on WhatsApp to answer all our questions. We’ll definitely be back!
We had such a wonderful stay. Loved the peace and quiet and all the bird sounds. The house and the hot tub was great. Our two Jack Russels loved the farm life. They especially enjoyed the swim in the dam when we went kayaking. What a freeing feeling to be on a kayak with the sun on your skin. Maybe look into a nice grass section at the dam area to enhance the picnic experience. A lot of the boats were leaking and needs some maintenance. This was our third visit and we will definitely return again for another family bonding weekend.
Fossil Hills wine walk was fantastic. The planning and arrangements all worked really well. The venue and location lived u to expectations and I had one of my best walking holidays ever. Genna out guide was attentive, supportive and organised.. she helped make sure I was integrated into the group and felt welcome.
