Thanks Roly, was lovely having you two stay with us. Sorry about the TV reception, we hope moving you to a new apartment helped! Maintenance dept is fixing the issue in the other apartment. Warm regards from Michelle @ Birches Serviced Apartments Team

I don’t get to the city much as live 4 hrs East and I always stay at Birches when I’m in Melbourne. It’s always sparkling clean, has beautiful comfy beds and the staff are SO friendly. It really feel like it’s home away from home. Safe secure car parking is also great. Love Birches

We have stayed regularly at Birches for several years. It is sited close to the CBD, public transport, several beautiful parks, the cafes and restaurants of Victoria Street, and within easy walking distance of a small supermarket. The staff are unfailingly helpful and friendly, making our stay comfortable and pleasant. We began staying there because it was dog friendly; we continue because for convenience and value for money it is hard to beat.

My elderly mother and I stayed at Birches so we could go to the tennis in January. It was great to have a ground floor apartment and it certainly met our needs for the 5 day stay. Beds are comfy and the lounge area was also comfortable with several lamps so harsh overhead lights did not need to be used. We would definitely stay there again.

Birches has been our Melbourne go-to base for many years now. Selected originally because they accepted dogs, we go there now because it feels like home in its friendly, convenient and unpretentious way.

We entered after hours and had no problems using the codes provided to get the key pass, park the car and get into the apartment. It was quiet and clean and very conveniently located. Only complaint was the street light coming through the side of the blinds shone right onto one of the beds. Other than that, I would highly recommend this accommodation and would stay here again.

We have stayed at Birches several time now - and will stay again. Pet access is a key point for other, but the location and amenities are also good. This time it was noisier than usual during the night, we discovered in the morning that the street-side window was slightly open: should have checked!
