The room was a very generous size, and had a comfortable bed. It was decoratively a little tired, and in need of a spruce up, but it was clean and in a great location. Secure parking overnight for $20 was a good deal.

Loved it

Clean and tidy apartment with everything that you need to a good stay. Close to shops, restaurants and public transport (tram, bus and train). And just 35 minutes walk in to the city this place is perfect. Close enough to the city but far enough out to be quiet.

We were in a walk distance from the Rod Laver Arena. The room and beddings were spotless clean. We had everything we needed. Thank you! Leask family

The location is excellent. It was a bit difficult with a baby and pram and STUFF to be on the top floor with no lift, but aside from that the Birches staff were helpful and accommodating and it's so easy to get everywhere from there!

Have stayed here twice. Great value for money. Clean, spacious apartment, kitchen, lounge and bathroom. Beautiful big windows! On site parking right at the door and an outdoor area with bbq. The staff are so lovely and accomodating-early checks ins, late check outs and even storing my items safely that I accidentally left behind.
