Nestled at the foot of the Klein Swartberg mountains, near Seweweekspoort, is the enchanting lifestyle farm known as Fluisterbosch.
Here, Ben and Floris live harmoniously with dogs, cats, horses, and a variety of livestock. Fluisterbosch, featuring self-catering accommodation, provides the perfect retreat for guests in search of serenity and tranquility. This journey began with a vision centered on simplicity and a deeper connection to nature, with the aim of sharing this enriching experience with our visitors.
Kloofhuis is a contemporary cottage styled in the traditional Karoo manner. The windows, sourced from old factory and school buildings, have been creatively repurposed to highlight their vintage steel frames. The open-plan area's dividing wall is clad with rocks collected from the farm. The reeds used for the ceiling originate from the riverbanks of the Nelsrivier, just outside Caltizdorp. The wood in the kitchen comes from a dead pine tree on the farm, estimated to be over 80 years old. Water for the house is piped directly from the mountain. A cozy 70 kW wood stove efficiently heats the 65 m² interior during the winter months.
We provide firewood for the indoor wood stove and larger pieces for outdoor braai. Additional firewood is available for purchase by the crate.
We offer complimentary fresh bread, butter, and jam for your first night.
Only Vodacom and Cell-C Connection available.
Your pets are welcome as we provide pet-friendly accommodation.
Enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi during your stay. The network name and password can be found in the cottage.
Whether it's sowing season or snowing.
The pristine and quiet Seweweekspoort pass starts a scant 7 kilometres from the farm, and is amazing to cycle through.
Meet Shariq and Candyman, our two gentle horses!
We provide fresh bedding and towels for every new guest.
The Karoo's semi-arid scrubland features unique endemic bird species. While it has fewer species than the northern regions, its open landscapes provide excellent birding opportunities for all levels.
Rock art that is between 30,000 and 50,000 years old can be found in the berg.
Our starry skies are beautiful and super clear on moonless nights. Bring your telescope and cameras, or simply sit on the stoep and count the shooting stars.
Guests are welcome to bring their own food and beverages, allowing for a personalized dining experience. You can prepare your meals outdoors on the traditional braai or opt for the convenience of the gas stove indoors. To ensure your ingredients remain fresh throughout your stay, we provide a refrigerator and freezer for your use. Additionally, upon your arrival, you’ll find a stock of firewood ready for use, along with a loaf of freshly baked bread sourced from the farm, to enhance your culinary adventures.
Picturesque farm accommodation near Seweweekspoort.
Fluisterbosch is a must visit! We were upgraded to the "Kloofhuis". It is a perfect setting with a cozy fireplace. Really well equipped cottage with everything you need. The crate of firewood and the complimentary freshly baked farm bread, butter and homemade jam were the icing on the cake. Thank you for your hospitality.
Fabulous! It was a real Karoo experience which we loved. The cottage is beautiful and has a great slow combustion fireplace which was well appreciated in the winter evening. There is nothing like a Karoo sunset which was amazing. The morning was great with the sound of farm life rising to the coming sunshine. The host was great and went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

We enjoyed the hiking trails on the farm and a day trip to Gamkapoort Dam. The accommodation was lovely. The fireplace was a winner, and the host gave us unlimited wood and farm bread!
