10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely loved my stay here. I visited South Africa for a conference, which was held at Birchwood. The team are incredibly friendly and helpful. I would go as far as to say it was some of the best hospitality I’ve experienced at a hotel in years. The complex is peaceful and beautiful, and the rooms are large. The restaurant is great, food was fantastic, and the support we received for the conference was exceptional. I’d definitely stay at Birchwood again if u return to South Africa

The staff were incredibly friendly and the property has a wide range of amenities. The rooms need better sound proofing - I'm not sure if there was a conference on near our unit but there was constant noise/people talking loudly to each other throughout the evening and early hours of the morning.

We were very impressed with the property and especially the staff. We included breakfast with our stay that was superb and very well priced. The area is not great but been fenced off it didn't bother us at all. The security staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great stay. Very friendly and helpful staff. Only slight lowering of rating was no playground which was advertised in the Expedia hotel details and the reason we picked that hotel over others in a similar range.

My favorite place to stay

The Birchwood is a huge congress & holiday premise with dozens of small villas. Close to the airport and some major shopping malls. Several bars and restaurants in the property. All well mantained and in good shape.

Lots of room and over 600 to pick from! Helpful staff and good steak at the Grill Restaurant. A bit noisy if the wind blows as it forces the jets to takeoff over head the resort.

First time stay in South Africa made comfortable!

The staff was courteous, the rooms were spacious, clean and modern with a good number of electrical points. The AC systems were very effective, but a little noisy. The hotel offers basic and premium internet packages with the basic being included in the cost of the stay but was more than sufficient for streaming and video calling.

I have often traveled to South Africa on business and stayed at many hotels, but I have never found a place where the staff were as friendly as this one. The hotel grounds were large and it was nice to take a walk. The downside was that the bathroom door was the wrong size so it didn't close completely, and the shuttle service ran every hour, so the waiting time was longer than other hotels.
