Established in 1996, Birches Guest House nestles in peaceful and beautiful garden surroundings and is known for its gracious atmosphere and excellent service. Attention to detail in our stylish rooms is one of our trademarks. We are conveniently situated in the quiet, leafy residential area of Gholfsig, Middelburg. We are within walking distance of the Middelburg Golf course & Club, an easy drive to the Middelburg Mall and restaurants.
Belinda Lennox the owner, called me beforehand to discuss my dietary requirement and any other needs. Set in the most gorgeous garden was my lovely condominium room with a desk to work at, and a lovely garden to sit in or just look at with no disruptions. After 3 days of solid rain and feeling like I was frozen to the bone, the bath with fabulous bath salts was a treat sent straight from heaven. This was followed later in the day by a scrumptious dinner and a wonderful breakfast the following morning. Other than delivering food, no interruptions, peace and quiet so I could work. I will definitely be going back and am a huge fan of Belinda’s. An immaculately run establishment with beautiful furnishing and a delightful host.

We were travelling back from Kruger National Park to O R Tambo airport and thought Middleburg would be a good place to break our journey We certainly made the right choice to stay at The Birches Guesthouse. The house was in a residential area of Middleburg, and had 3 letting bedrooms. our bedroom was immaculately clean, and had the most comfortable bed. Graeme and Belinda were lovely hosts, friendly without being over familiar, and helpful with luggage, information, directions etc. Breakfast was super, and more than sufficient We will certainly look to stay here next time we are in the area. mary and Paul Stevens, York, Uk

This guest house looks really lovely, however Belinda was full the day we arrived, however she was extremely kind and helpful. She phoned around for us and found us alternative accommodation. Would highly recommend her.

Thank you so much Jennifer! I appreciate you taking the time to place a review and thank you for your kind remarks. I was disappointed not to have been able to offer you accommodation and trust you had an enjoyable stay at the other guest house. Enjoy the rest of your travels in our beautiful country - take care!

A lovely guesthouse with high quality rooms giving you a hotel-like experience. Really top notch modern, clean and neat rooms with all the convenience you could wish for. Situated in a nice and quiet area although close to the town centre. I can highly recommend The Birches Guest House.

Hosts Belinda and Graeme attend to every little detail. Beds and linen gorgeously comfortable and luxurious and the most delicious breakfast ever. Wonderful spot for business or family travelers. Little details like coffee tea, fresh milk, home baked cookies and a mini bar stacked with snacks and cool drinks make it a superb choice for anyone spending a night in middleburg. Spotlessly clean, conveniently close to town and a sparkling pool and gorgeous gardens.

This is a great establishment with a lovely garden and nice clean rooms. The breakfast is really good and more than you get at the average guesthouse. They have good wifi and a minibar. Also included is DSTV. In a nice and quiet neighborhood.
