Yes heard Starbuck up there oledi..probably time for my yearly retreat to CH... biggrin.gif  rclxms.gif

Its good choice for coffee lover up there to enjoy midnight while having cuppa of coffee and some cookies. I love it. On the other hand I tried scone/tea in 4 different places which is CHR itself, Smokehouse, T Cafe and also Boh Palas Factory. So I conclude the winner :-

1) CHR ( Rm 70 )
2) Smokehouse ( Rm59 )
3) T Cafe ( Rm 14 ) - Value for Money
4) Boh (Rm 21 ) - Don't ever try their Scone tongue.gif

hi, i am newbie of lowyat.net greeting everyone here, and this is my first post....  Talking about the cameron hotel, anyone has any idea about the country lodge resort and also Brinchang hotel in cameron? The service there is good or not? I plan to stay there on monday night (means no pasar malam) so is it a wise choice to choose either one of these 2 hotels? (my trip is on school holiday)
*
Hi bro, welcome to LYN smile.gif I do think Pasar malam will be available everyday when school holiday. About the hotel, I don't have any idea about the service because never stay there yet.

Brinchang Hotel http://www.impression.com.my/CMHmain/brinchang/brinchang.htm - I think is located at Brinchang town. Brinchang is the highest area after T.Rata.And if you are heading up CH via Simpang Pulai, U will reach Brinchang first. And it is so much better road coming from there instead Tapah (too winding). Very convenient. You can even try Rosa Pasadena. Equatorial Cameron is also located there but at the highest area of Brinchang and most expensive. Never go up to CH during PH , u will get bad traffic.
*
Equatorial is not the most expensive hotel in Cameron. Cameron Highland Resort is the most expensive.

Avillion was good... surprisingly the hotel has loads of activities. The water chalets were okay but fixtures were a bit old but comfy... the price a bit steep though.. the kids loved the pool and the beach.. baby crabbing activity was great during low tides and during high tide you just have lala washing up ashore by the wave... kids had good time too in the kiddie room as well as the animal pen.. overall enjoyable but at RM460 per night... urrggghh...

On CH, T Cafe is just glorious... that is one place i go for breakfast and tea... their breakfast set is the cheapest and their scones .. fabulous.. cheap and good.
*
460 per night is a premier water chalet, is it? I'm currently considering to give Pangkor(PIBR) or PD(Avillion) during 3 nite stay in mid January. Still cant make decision though. Both look good actually.

The starbuck is pretty new. Based on the latest GPS maps wth me, it's actually taken over the previous Mayflower restaurant. Mayflower I belive has moved out to the row near Maybank according to Putraskyline  hmm.gif

BTW, CH get pretty cold on certain time of the year too for eg..during the mth of Dec- Jan....I hv recorded temperature as low as 15C during my last stay in Dec'07
*
Yup Stimix. Mayflower has moved to shop lot in the same row with Maybank Tanah Rata while Starbucks has taken old Mayflower shop lot which is along Tanah Rata main road.

Thanks Stimix
I am more worried about a major landslide as I am driving by!

I read through all 41 pages and there were some unfavorable comments about Equatorial Hotel.
May try Strawberry Park or Century Pine
*
For me, Strawberry Park have nice location, good value and comfortable room if compare to all hotel you mention. If you can, avoid EQ because they are not well maintained, small room.

im thinking of going to CH this May. it's low season at that month right? going to book a room at Strawberry Park. any comments?


Added on April 1, 2009, 12:53 amwat's the differences between studio room and tioga 1 bedroom apartment?
*
Should be low season on May. School Holiday is in June I think. Studio room doesn't consist living room. Usually 1 bedroom apartment more space and can accommodate up to 3 people.

Hi all,

I'm planning a family trip year end at Cameron Highland, we are planning to have steamboat or BBQ dinner (self prepare). Trip is 3 days 2 nights. Does anyone have any recommendation for the bungalow which cater for 10 person + a doggy? Looking for nearest to Cameron is better because we love the cold weather wink.gif

Thank you.  rclxms.gif

Just check 1 page b4 this. Someone just did the day trip from Kl but via package tour from KL..I disagreed at 1st on the day trip due to time constraint, but since she/he was on a package & the itineraries covered all the important attractions along the way up to CH, She/she managed to see most of the attraction.

If DIY, 1 day might not be viable bcos, bus going CH will takes about 4 hrs & after reaching, u need to arrange for day trip tour which I think ~RM50-RM80 (Certain ppl said only RM22?)

& thereafter by Evening, u need to catch another bus bck to KL...

What a wastage!! Day trip to Cameron are not worth, rushing to most of the attraction but you missed the peaceful of Cameron.
