Norlane, Geelong

the house itself is spacious and well laid out, so it never feels cramped even when everyone’s home. there’s a comfortable shared living area where people actually hang out, plus plenty of room to have your own space when you want it.

the kitchen is fully set up with good bench space and storage, making it easy to cook properly rather than juggling appliances. there’s also ample fridge and cupboard space so no one’s fighting over shelves.

the outdoor area is a standout — it’s genuinely massive, not just a token backyard. it’s great for bbqs, having friends over, or just sitting outside with a drink. the spa is part of this area and gets regular use, especially in the evenings.

parking is easy, and the street is quiet for the area. the house has a relaxed, lived-in feel rather than a strict or sterile vibe — people respect each other, clean up after themselves, and communicate if something comes up.

it’s a social house, minor party house. everyone works, trains, or studies, so the balance between fun and downtime is good.
