The Gallery Guest House
Selected by The Greenwood Guide to South Africa, 2nd edition
Text written by Simon Greenwood
Lolly manages the happy trick of combining her work as
an artist with running a friendly, laid-back guest house in a peaceful part of
Knysna. She is a strong force for the promotion of arts and crafts in the town -
itself a honeypot for those that can hold a pencil steady. Thus �The Gallery�.
Her own and local artists� paintings and sculptures dot the walls and cover the
carpets in the guest house, one of the longest-running in Knysna.
There is a separate private studio where Lolly desperately tries to find time
to �work�. The main room where breakfast etc happens is upstairs and the
adjoining wooden deck has tremendous views out over the Knysna Heads, Leisure
Isle and Pledge Park nature reserve. There is lots to do in town, what with
sunset boat rides, the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe, sea swimming, canoeing etc � and
Lolly is very knowledgeable. Best of all she has special private places - sunset
spots, music venues, beaches, walks and restaurants � you will only find with
her help. The bedrooms themselves are simple, showcasing more local artwork, but
cater for all your needs. Choose the Gallery for the irrepressible personality
of both house and hostess. Nine good restaurants within 2 mins.
