Nah....Dun really like those hotels in Brinchang...I did check wth Iris b4..signboard advertised RM60++ but when checked >RM120!..terrible info!....Brinchang is abit noisy wth all the traffics & hotels located beside the roadside inc Iris hse & Hill Garden. I stayed twice at Country Lodge. Although quiet on top of the hill overlooking Brinchang but abit old & not cheap too..price >RM160 during weekend for an old & not so clean hotel! And the food in Brinchang is just like slauthering house..damn pricy and tasteless

For CH, It will be better staying at quiet hotels far away from main roads & the best town so far (for me) is still Tanah Rata. bcos it is not so busy as brinchang & the food there are much better & cheaper!

Hi..wanna ask if i want to go cameron and stay at Heritage..got any bus going there from KL directly to the hotel? Or i have to change bus or take taxi up there? thx

agree
Iris got bad reputation
tanah rata is much more quieter and peaceful

u can walk from the bus station to heritage hotel
it is around 10 minutes walking distance

oic..then is there any farm nearby heritage can go by walking? how far was it?

There are no farm near Heritage. But furthe ropposite the other sid eof the road (Carnation road). For farm u need to go further up at Kea Farms (Equatorial area) or Ringlet town (Before Tanah Rata & 1st town in Cameron Highland- (Lotsa farms here..including gigantic watercrest plantation...)

means these farm cant reach by walking? if i am not driving will it take long time to wait for a bus?

I really not recommend to visit cameron without own transport, since all of the attractions spread out widely.
Taking taxi up there also will be super expensive, and buses are not reliable. Walking? That will kill you pretty fast as it's hilly there.

There's many places is only accessible with own transport like both Boh tea plantation.

If really don't have own transport, you might need to resort to joining a day tour.

Haha..FYI I hv seen Mat Salleh walking from the main road to Sg Palas Tea Plantation! & even walking from Tanah Rata to Brinchang....Only for those wth strong stamina....Yeap no transport really susah..but there are full day package too cater for those w/out transport (stall just beside the Post Office...)..can try to check...Probably ~RM50/pax/day... (Not sure never bother to check )

your's mat salleh I've seen a few before, some even cycling leh.
Saw this mat salleh couple cycling at Kea Farm on my way to Sg Palas Boh Plantation, already salute them for cycling at Cameron. But when returning from Sg Palas, while still in the Plantation area, saw the same couple again... really really salute them at that point

I even saw an arab couple walking up and down from strawberry resort to the main road, the wife is in full black jubah leh!

what u mean by the last sentence?

i know its kinda boring if go without own transport..actually plan to go genting but full house already..

means u can go to some travel agency there and register for a inbound trip
those agency can be found at tanah rata

guys..i am staying in casa de la rosa on this Sunday..wanna know is there any taxi stand or bus stop near this hotel?

Its quite far from Brinchang town.Its near golf course.you can walk to brinchang town for I guess 30min walking.

30 minute walking to the nearest bus stop or taxi stand? lol..

do this hotel provide bus service?

Its not like KL where you can easily wait bus/taxi at taxi stand.They are limited taxi/ not enough during peak season/weekend.30 min walk toward brinchang town where you can find taxi station.If you want to go around nice places in CH, better go travel agency in Brinchang/Tanah rata town aand book 1 day CH trip or 1/2 day CH trip.They are many trips though.Last time I go CH, I book 1 day Ch tour for rm 85.Its quite nice tour.

1 day CH trip..how many ppl in one group? or only me n my friends?

Usually they will gather 4-6 person per group.

min 2 person ...

just wondering is it alrite if drive down back from cameron in the evneing? safe? the weather nowadays?
