Blue Water Cafe

Top choice in Simon's Town & Southern Peninsula


A lovely place to enjoy breakfast, simple-but-good lunch dishes including pizza, pasta, seafood and gourmet salads, or a craft beer with a sweeping view. The stoep (porch) of this historic property at the heart of Imhoff Farm looks out over Noordhoek Beach and Chapman’s Peak. There's good service, a garden, a jungle gym and the Higgeldy Piggeldy Farmyard next door.
