Hi, I'm Shelli-Anne

I grew up on Bellevue as one of the "three Couch girls" and proud 5th generation Couch family members now helming the Farmstay (you'll also meet my twin sisters Lisa and Amanda onsite). My strongest memories are of shearing time in the old woolshed, riding horses through paddocks to check on stock, hand-rearing lambs with bottled milk, our soft-hearted mum taking in orphaned animals from around the district and our generous dad giving backpackers - lost along the Great Ocean Road - a free bed and hot meal for the night. Which is the beginnings of Bellevue Farmstay almost 20 years ago. We're new to Riparide but have been hosting families at our family farm and are now welcoming back grandchildren of original guests. From our family to yours....
