Reviews of Fossil Farms Oceanside Retreat 3 stars

What isn’t there to like about Fossil Farms Oceanside Retreat? From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded expectations — spotless, beautifully designed accommodations, thoughtful touches everywhere, and warm, welcoming hosts who made us feel at home. The highlight was the delectable seven-course dinner, each dish a work of art bursting with local flavour. Comfort, charm, and incredible food all in one perfect stay — we can’t wait to return!

Honestly, not much. If anything, we simply wished we had booked a longer stay to enjoy more of the peace, comfort, and outstanding hospitality.

Great calm location.

Beds were a little small.

There were so many things to do on site.

Wonderful location with A winery on the property and wonderful units that were clean and well stocked

Nothing

The location in the countryside and being surrounded by Nature and clean air was amazing. The perfect balance of being “away” and with options to explore

Beautiful location, and clean, well appointed apartment.

Bed was small and uncomfortable. Otherwise everything was very good.

The cottage was even better then the photos! Spotless and felt very high end! They had everything we could possibly want for our stay, and the thoughtfulness put into the little details did not go unnoticed. For example, they had prepackaged totes at the sauna so we knew exactly how much to put in. Coffee beans with instructions on how to make the perfect cup. A fun passport of things for us to do while on the property. Wish we could have stayed longer!

A beautiful country farm property with peaceful environment promoting wellness.

A nice, clean room with everything we needed for a comfortable nights rest...the coffee and honey were nice touches as were the crisps! We booked the evening meal, the dining area is lovely and the staff where really friendly. We enjoyed the first course, the second was not to our taste, the third pasta and mushroom dish was very tasty, the fourth lamb dish was only just warm but tasty. For us the dishes where far to long in between but the rest of the diners seemed to enjoy it so this is just our opinion. The serving staff were lovely and the wine very good.

The property is very peaceful and we enjoyed walking about. Feeding the goats was a highlight. The cottage was well equiped, spacious, and clean. The jar with fresh ground local coffee and the gift of honey right from the farm were nice touches.

The murphy bed was not overly comfortable but it was okay. Make sure to stock up on food before you arrive.

Size of the property, thoughtful touches (coffee, honey from bees on farm), quiet place, farm animals!

The animals, kayaks, and the quiet accommodations. We cooked a meal and had everything we needed in the kitchen. It was a clean cabin. The staff were very friendly.

This property is gorgeous. Rolling hills with vineyards, gardens, and a farm. We really enjoyed the sauna and pool and spent a lot of time there. We also ate a meal at the restaurant-it there’s one on offer while you’re staying there, don’t miss it-it’s a real farm to table treat. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful, magical, pastoral setting, walking by vineyards, encouraged to enjoy nature, simple yet tasteful accommodations, sustainable philosophy, peaceful, quiet, farm to table restaurant

View and arrangements of rooms are perfect..

Lots to do

Nothing

They need better beds. Folding beds a cool but not comfy and squeaky
