EXPERIENCE UNPARALLELED ELEGANCE AND CHARM IN IVANHOE Nestled far enough from the hustle and bustle in a quiet, unassuming street, lies this hidden gem. Styled by internationally acclaimed Interior Designer all the way from 5th Avenue in New York, Anna Giannis has created the most ambient and sophisticated space for the perfect getaway. Whether you're in the area to visit family & friends, work in a nearby hospital or simply to take some time out for self-care and rejuvenation, you'll find everything you need right here. Every great story has humble beginnings and we're excited and honored to share some history with you. Little Audrey Guesthouse is owned by a truly amazing local couple - Paul & Marita - who know more things about Ivanhoe that most people in the area. Marita's mother loved the famous Skipping Girl affectionately known as 'Little Audrey' which has been officially declared a Victorian Heritage icon. Little Audrey Guesthouse was named in honour of Marita's mother and is home to it's very own Skipping Girl reproduction which greets you as you explore the gardens. The piece of art was made by a man in Adelaide and Marita found her at the Melbourne Garden Show a few years ago and it was an instant purchase. Little Audrey is mounted up high adjacent to the Guesthouse, to create an archway and perfect opportunity for you to share a selfie with it on your socials! Coincidentally, growing up, Marita's mother had a best friend. They were both dressmakers and met at 14 years of age when they started work together. Her friends name? None other than AUDREY!

Leafy and abundant – Ivanhoe is a snapshot of suburban paradise. Renowned for its beautiful Art Deco architecture, here there are homes that have enough flair to stop you in your tracks.. Set on sprawling blocks, life in these stylish twentieth-century mansions feels a world away from the hustle of the CBD, belying this in-demand suburb’s prime location. But it’s not just the architecture that draws visitors to Ivanhoe. Since the 1950s, Melburnians have been flocking to this charming neighbourhood to see the Christmas lights on display each year at The Boulevard. In keeping with this family-friendly feel, the neighbourhood streets are eternally green and peaceful. Buzzing Upper Heidelberg Road, where neighbours come to meet for coffee and gossip, is where all the action in Ivanhoe takes place. The Centre Ivanhoe – a charming Art Deco building that comes complete with light strewn circular stage, serves as a popular events venue, its stylish twentieth-century exterior matches the feel of the majority of homes in the area.
