Overall a nice place to stay. We stayed with 2 kids and there was sufficient space and facilities. The lovely sports fields and playgrounds directly across the road were outstanding. A strip of shops (a Milk Bar and a fish and chip shop) are about 100m away. If you need to go into Ivanhoe town centre (say Woolworths) it's about a 7-minute drive. This place is right on the border of Ivanhoe and Heidelberg, honestly, it felt more like we were in Heidelberg than Ivanhoe (The centre of Ivanhoe is a bit nicer). I read some comments regarding this property about noisy neighbours. I can understand why, I think it is because this house is on a subdivided property, so the neighbours are just very close (their driveway literally looks directly into the living room of this house). They were noisy at times (and they play the drums - sometimes up until 9 pm), but they weren't unpleasant, I just think it's because they were so close, it's more noticeable. Ingrid was always very responsive.
