The Freedom to Live How You Want

August 25, 2025

The decision to downsize is often about reclaiming freedom — and at Hali, freedom is built into the design.

David, a future resident, shared, “We were tired of spending hours every week maintaining a big house and garden. At Hali, everything is easy for us. We intend to lock up, walk across the road, and the ocean is right there. Downsizing will give us our weekends back.”

Dromana provides the perfect backdrop for this lifestyle. Just an hour from Melbourne, it’s a town where the hills meet the water. Here, weekends are filled with market strolls, walks to the pier, or a gondola ride up Arthurs Seat. With its mix of cafés, dining, and community clubs, Dromana offers that rare balance of coastal serenity and daily convenience.

Hali itself has been shaped with freedom in mind. The masterplan integrates parks and open green spaces — including a central commons, pocket park, and community garden. These shared landscapes mean you can enjoy greenery without the upkeep, and still have space to connect with neighbours or enjoy a quiet moment outdoors.

Inside, the homes are designed for low-maintenance living. Every residence is light-filled, naturally ventilated, and crafted with premium finishes — from engineered timber floors to Fisher & Paykel appliances. Downsizing doesn’t mean compromise; it means elevating your everyday.

And thanks to Hali’s sustainability initiatives — including rainwater harvesting, future-ready EV charging, and double-glazed windows — residents enjoy energy-efficient comfort while knowing they’re making a positive environmental choice.

For many, downsizing into Hali has been a turning point — a chance to trade maintenance for meaning, and reclaim the freedom to live life on their own terms.
