The R101 begins in Bellville at the R102 and runs to the south parallel to the newer N1 freeway and is called Old Paarl Road. It crosses the Drakenstein Mountains as Du Toitskloof Pass (820m) where the new route bypasses as the Huguenot Tunnel. Through the pass it rejoins the N1 for 8 km until it separates again towards Rawsonville until it joins the N1 again at Worcester. The R101 does not separate from the N1 again up to Kroonstad in the Free State more than 1000 km to the north-east.
