A villa in Australia is smaller than a house, on a tiny block of land, less than 300 sq metres.

ok , i cant see if the pictures have attached or not , but the villa is smth like  a building with 2-3-4-5 etc  numbers of separate rooms/apartments, sort of like a small hotel and a house is  a building  where maybe  you and the owner share some dependencies , a kitchen or hallway or u gotto pass through their living room when you walk out

they're the same.  a villa is just a fancy european word for house.  although a house can be more modest and a villa could be more lavish.

Villas are more what we would call a house in the western world. Some good examples in Tuolkork:
