Our Fantastic City and Location

Geelong, Victoria's largest regional city is located on the edge of beautiful Corio Bay. It is less than one hour from Melbourne and only half an hour from some of Australia's magnificent surf beaches and the Great Ocean Road.

The "City By The Bay" provides you with a spectacular waterfront precinct, parks, gardens, beaches, great dining and an exciting nightlife!

Villamanta House is ideally situated to take advantage of all Geelong's attractions and is only 300 metres from the Geelong Train Station and Bus Port.
A few easy minutes walk gets you to the Library and Art Gallery, the City Centre, Deakin Waterfront campus, Eastern Beach and the cosmopolitan Pakington Street café precinct, supermarket and shopping centre. Just around the corner is a great Irish pub too!

Positioned on the edge of the City but in a quiet residential side street our location has the best of both worlds.

For more detailed view of our location including directions on how to walk to the Deakin Waterfront Campus see our Google Map !

So whether you are planning on studying at the Deakin Waterfront or Waurn Ponds campus' or perhaps at the Gordon TAFE, you will find the location very convenient for getting to school, all the great places Geelong and the Surf Coast has to offer or jumping on a train to Melbourne or a bus to the airport.
