The Bead Gallery

The Bead Gallery is located on the South Coast Hwy about half way between Old Kent River wines and the town of Walpole. The gallery itself is housed in what looks to be in the converted living and dining rooms of a farm house. Outside, there are nicely landscaped gardens containing quite a few fruit trees and the like. Overall, it has a very environmentally friendly feel.

Inside, the shop is divided into two sections. Firstly, there is the gallery section that contains a lot of finished bead work. Some of the pieces are very intricate and quite beautiful.

The second section contains the actual bead shop, here you can find a huge range of individual beads as well as a selection of bead kits that allow you to make your own bead jewellery.

Overall the prices seemed quite reasonable, we bought a bead work wall hanging and a kit with enough beads to make three pairs of earrings for $30 and as a bonus, they also had a basket outside full of free lemons that they had come off their tree. Not too bad for this kind of tourist area.
