While visiting the South Peninsula for a month, I developed a not-so-minor addiction to the walnut-filled brownies at Imhoff Farm. This family-friendly stop on Kommetjie Road at the Ocean View turnoff is a fantastic reason to plan a daytrip in the South Peninsula. Plan your trip with a carload of friends, children, or any neighbours that look badly in need of a spot of fresh air.
Imhoff Farm is hard to miss, with a caravan of camels waiting out front to take intrepid adventurers on a “pretend you’re Lawrence of Arabia” ride around the lawn. If wildlife is your game – or, if you’ve got a gaggle of children in tow – head over to the petting zoo and the snake park.
We’ve already highlighted the fantastic children’s activities at Imhoff Farm (See: 10 things to do with your kids in Cape Town these school holidays.) There are plenty of good reasons to visit if you’re only young at heart.
For the ophidiophobic (snake-fearing!) among us, or for anyone who just wants to chill out, Imhoff Farm has plenty of shops to stroll through and a collection of three restaurants to tempt your palate.
Pick out a few colourful pieces from Zizamele Ceramics to brighten your home.
The bright colours at Zizamele Ceramics always catch my eye, and racks of bright outfits at Peek-a-Boo never fail to tempt my gift-buying urge for nieces and nephews. And for something my own size, the Rummage Co Op never fails as a treasure trove of funky second-hand clothes.
Stop in at PeekaBoo to buy a colourful gift for the sweetest little person in your life.Rummage Co Op is a treasure trove of upcycled vintage outfits.
While the restaurants at Imhoff Farm have mouth-watering menus, my favourite part of a trip to the Farm involves a leisurely stroll through the Free Range Farm Shop, choosing picnic makings from the amazing selection of homemade bread, fresh produce, Imhoff cheeses and eye-catching treats. On a sunny day, a picnic lunch on the lawn is the perfect recipe for happiness.
