A garage apartment [1] (also called a coach house, garage suite or in Australia, Fonzie flat [2]) is an apartment built within the walls of, or on top of, the garage of a house. The garage may be attached or a separate building from the main house, but will have a separate entrance and may or may not have a communicating door to the main house.
