Doorways is set in a small vineyard in the village of Barrydale on the R62. Wrap-around views, peaceful rural setting within walking distance of most Barrydale attractions, makes Doorways an ideal stop-over spot for couples or groups doing a road trip through the Karoo or Garden Route. Each unit has a separate entrance, and the common area is exclusively for your use. Fresh air and country tranquility on your doorstep. Hiking into the fynbos, sauntering through the village, or simply relaxing in the garden - you are bound to find peace.
Share a cup of freshly roasted Mojoe coffee with us - we would love to hear your stories.
