We loved everything about the cottage. It was spacious and clean and had everything you needed. All the treats from wine to cheese platter and lots of books with information about the area and wild life. We saw lots of birds, mongoose and even a scorpion under a rock. Our hosts Chris and Colette were amazing we will definitely be back. Oh and the hot tub was amazing 👌

“The most aptly named place I've ever stayed - a complete reset and rejuvenation!”
I was completely blown away by the hospitality at Exhale Cottage - the special care and attention taken to prepare for our stay. We felt so special! I loved that they have thought of everything - from bird seed for the feeders, to epsom salts for the outdoor bath, to a million other little touches. It was super special!

“A absolute gem that truly lives up to it's name!”
The cottage was outfitted with alot of amenities that we didn't need to bring along. The location is peaceful, quiet and gorgeous! It really invites you to exhale. All the small personalised touches really made our stay more personal and inviting. The welcome champagne and cheese platter, signboard and snack pack for our baby was so thoughtful! The different spaces created within the property allows you relax in a different spot everyday! Also all the added extras for baby were welcomed! :)

Absolutely breathtaking! Our stay at Exhale Cottage was nothing short of paradise. The accommodation was stunning, with every detail taken care of by the incredible hosts.. The peace and remoteness were exactly what we needed to unwind and recharge with the perfect set and setting 🍄 Highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone seeking a tranquil retreat. Five stars isnt enough to rate this beautiful spot– we'd give it ten stars if we could!

“Perfect escape”
Do yourself a favor and book now!! We really loved every second of our time at Exhale. Whether you're in the mood for star gazing, bird watching, walking, feeling romantic or just want to relax in front of a cozy fire, the hosts have kitted this lovely farm cottage with everything you could need. Thank you Colette and Chris for your hospitality. We so appreciated the little stickers everywhere so we knew exactly what everything was for, all the thought you've put into everything (including the walking route that was marked off so nicely), ample wood for the hot tub and braai, and the fresh chillies!!! What a lovely surprise. We will definitely be back again

“Perfection!”
Absolutely everything - if I could rate this cottage 12 out of 10, I would. The location and facilities are exceptional but what really makes it special is the care that Colette and Chris put into the property and the overall guest experience. From cheese & MCC to a beautiful (and very unexpected) birthday cake. Communication was excellent and they even offered a mid-stay cottage clean. The whole experience was exceptional.
