Belle's Fleurieu

The Fleurieu Peninsula has always been home for me.

She grew up in McLaren Vale on thirteen acres of land, spending most of her childhood outdoors, training for swimming and surf lifesaving at Moana Beach.

Her love for the Fleurieu Peninsula was nurtured from a young age, with her summers filled with long days at Myponga Beach, family, water activities, sunshine, and afternoons enjoying freshly caught squid.
