Ongelooflik.

As ek 'n 100 sterre kon gee, sou ek. Van die pragtige omgewing tot die lekker bederfgoed. Alles is perfek en mens kan regtig vir niks meer vra nie.

Unbelievable.

If I could give a 100 stars I would. From the beautiful surroundings to the delicious treats. Everything is perfect and you really can't ask for anything more.

Amazing luxury experience!

It was a great experience! The house includes everything you need, from a pizzabraai to a hot tub. Even luxury soaps, free use of olive oil/all kinds of herbs, a cheese board & brut on arrival, etc. The hosts were super friendly. The location felt like a dream! 10 out of 10!

That one place you have to visit.

There are not enough stars to rate Exhale Cottage. The hosts' generosity with welcome treats and wine completely blew us away. The attention to detail is like nothing we have ever encountered. The cottage with its amazing views, the bath in the bush, the rock pool a short walk away with its own deck and sun loungers, the food for the birds and mongoose, the fine botanicals in the bathrooms (we stocked up in Montagu when we left), the dried fynbos on the beds - if we lived closer we would be there once a month. It is just the most magical place. It was such a blessing to be allowed to visit. In future we will use it as a base to explore Montagu and Robertson because it is closer to town than expected.

Piece of heaven.

By far the best weekend breakaway by far. Spectacular views, peace, tranquillity but most of all the best hosts. The attention to detail was just so special and you feel so spoiled. Every luxury one could want. You feel so welcome and immediately feel the stress fade away. Thanks so much.

Asemrowend!

Exhale Cottage is meer as verblyf. Dis 'n plek om totaal stil te raak, afgesonder maar in luuksheid. Die kleinste detail wat jy dalk kan dink jy nodig het, is reeds voorsien. Om in die doodstil donker nag in die houtbrand-Jacuzzi te sit en na die sterre te staar, gee nuwe betekenis aan ontspan. Hou maar die een dop, ek is seker hy verskyn eersdaags in 'n tydskrif!

Breathtaking!

Exhale Cottage is more than accommodation. It's a place to get totally quiet, secluded but in luxury. The smallest detail you might think you need is already provided. Sitting in the wood-fired Jacuzzi in the pitch-black night and staring at the stars gives new meaning to relaxing. Keep an eye on that one, I'm sure he'll appear in a magazine soon!

Dit was fantasties!

Wat 'n wonderlike plek! Nie net is dit 'n pragtige huis in 'n pragtige omgewing nie, maar jy het vir niks gesoek nie. Daar is aan als gedink en jy is van als waaraan jy montlik kan dink voorsien. Vars veldblomme in die kamers, 'n kaasbord in die yskas, plaaslike wyn en gebak op die toonbank! Daar is selfs 'n Ducky vir waneer jy in die opelug bad gaan ontspan. Ons het 'n heerlike twee dae hier spandeer en gaan dit beslis 'n instelling maak wanneer ons huis toe kom om te kuier! Colette en Chris is fantastiese gashere gewees. Ons sal Exhale Cottage aan enige iemand aanbeveel.

It was fantastic!

What a wonderful place! Not only is it a beautiful home in a beautiful setting, but you didn't search for anything. Everything has been thought of and you are provided with everything you can think of. Fresh wildflowers in the rooms, a cheese board in the fridge, local wine and pastries on the counter! There is even a Ducky for when you go to relax in the open air bath. We spent a lovely two days here and will definitely make it an institution when we come home to visit! Colette and Chris have been fantastic hosts. We would recommend Exhale Cottage to anyone.

Heaven on Earth!

We loved our two nights at Exhale Cottage! There are not really words to express how peaceful and connected we felt to the landscape and those awe-inspiring mountains. Every little detail that Colette and Chris leave is like a little treasure to enjoy. Even the surprise Easter Bunny hunt for our daughter - so special! I am an instant convert to the beautiful Fijn Botanicals products. Kind to nature and humans. Thank you for the most wonderful experience! We will never forget it and hope to be able to come to visit again.

Natuur, rustig, berge, pragtige ligging.

Ongelooflike natuurskoon weg van die stad en die gejaagdheid wat daarmee gepaard gaan. Het elke oomblik in hierdie ongelooflike mooi verblyf ten volle waardeer en geniet! Sal 'n naweek weg na Exhale Cottage vir enige paartjie aanbeveel!
