The Kleindoorn Guest House is a typical Karoo farmhouse located 28 kilometers north-east of Barrydale, dating back to 1834. It is situated in close proximity to the boundaries of the Boosmansbos Wilderness area. The secluded farm retreat offers a tranquil escape from the city and television, where guests can enjoy the peace and privacy of the rustic self-catering establishment while sitting on the thatched veranda stoep.

The house overlooks vegetable fields and an apricot orchard, and features high ceilings that create a cool space. It has two bedrooms with double beds, and one bedroom with twin beds. Additionally, there are three divans and a sleeper couch in the living areas, accommodating up to 10 people.

A washing machine and an outside washing line are available for guests' use, but laundry detergent is not provided. For safety, the house is equipped with a smoke detector and a fire extinguisher.

Guests seeking a hideaway to relax or a private base for energizing activities can find a range of activities in the area around the guest house, including hiking, swimming in plunge pools under two waterfalls (45 minutes' walk away), mountain biking, exploring two 4x4 trails, bird watching, stargazing, meditating & yoga, cooling off in one of many dams on the farm, barbecuing, observing farm activities, landscape and macro photography, and flora and fauna recognition. Firewood for barbecuing and homemade 'boerewors' are available upon request.

Situated near the popular tourist Route 62, one of the longest wine routes in the world, the guest house serves as an ideal stopover on a scenic journey. More information on activities in the surrounding area can be found on the website.
