yOU dON'T hAVE tO wEAR sHOES hERE


I don’t like wearing shoes; I scarcely do. My backyard is a vegetable and herb garden and animals light up my spirit. I’m also not a hillbilly hippie, but I do prefer not to wear shoes, so anywhere in the valley is the perfect place to bare your toes, no matter what the weather.

Sunday was mother’s day. We all went crazy didn’t we? Shopping malls were infested with crazy people, restaurants were all on a spinning ball, and kiddies were dragging themselves along to please mama bear. We decided as a family, that this year we’d spend time together and have an easygoing unplanned day. We gradually ended up in the best spot Cape Town has to offer, Imhoff Farm Village.

If you like the idea of camels chilling on a field of grass on entry, and a farmyard of interesting quirky animals all happy and ready to great you, you’ll love that you can lose yourself in the cutest deli of cheese and olives, fruit and veg available in the restaurant overlooking the wild horses. You’ll fit right in.

I’ve never felt so at home. Like I could park off on the bench and wake up hours later, with not a worry in the world. Your kids are provided with endless entertainment, yes, there’s a snake park where they can touch and hold snakes. Leave them there and go sit in the tea garden, just remember to take them home later when you leave. There isn’t a stay over night facility.

When the weather is great, Imhoff village is the place to offload your family and arrange for a meeting time and spot for later. It’s a place that you can explore for hours. Look through the arts and crafts stores, the art gallery, go for a ride on the camels or just stretch out your legs over a hot cup of tea. Do what you want. That’s the right words.
