walk around

it depends on the unit itself
some are belong to private owner some belongs to eq themselves
if u r lucky getting units from themselves, count urself very lucky
else u will be cursing n swearing like TS did

once in a lifetime experience n i will never go back to eq apartments anymore

dats why ...
but everytime got public holiday, sure fully book
and sure a lot of complaints

luckily everytime i go is low season

there's only 2 company direct from KL to CH
1 using new road (new bus) (name not sure, never take bus before)
another using tapah route (old bus) (the name is regal)

the ticket can be obtain at puduraya

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

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

i think they have shuttle buses to the town
better call them and check

i took the CH-> Tapah route yesterday
and it took me 2 hours from peak to tapah
reason: clearing landslides and cutting down the trees
better use CH->S.Pulai route

to explore cameron highlands throughly
it is better to go there during low season
minus the unfamous pasar malam of brinchang

The hotel is quite old and condition is not really good TBH

Yup. just take note when u reach a quite huge U-turn corner
right before the corner is the entrance to Gunung Brinchang.

the signboard will shows Micro station gunung brinchang.

u wont get lost there.... there's only 1 road leading to the peak

i will reply on behalf of stimix

there are many stalls there
to be precise
the junction is opposite the entrance of Bee Farm
u can't miss that
it is less than 1km i think

still the same
badly tarred
potholes here and there
yes...the road will reach the peak.. and u can go to the micro station or brinchang path 8/9
Need to add 1 more information: Gunung Brinchang is the highest peak that a vechicle can reach in malaysia
no need walk
u wont get stuck unless u walk into the forest
safe.. erm... dono... if u r in the car i guess its ok...

C.Pines
old wing - rather old but spacious... and a bit noisy during muslim prayers time
new wing - okay.. since it is pretty new.. ask for the room nearby the lift if possible.. the other side is noisy during the nite since it is beside tanah rata main road

have only drove a Myvi 1.3 and Avanza up only...
just slap in 1st gear and slowly climb
else if i am driving my alphard then it will be hard cos the road is so narrow

ur dinner so early 1 ?

i am a chinese so my meal is non-halal..
sorry if u prefer non-halal meal

this is normally wat i do...
on ur way to CH (1st day)
u can have ur lunch at Niu Kee at Kpg Raja

for morning normally i will go OK Tuck to eat wantan mee
or
go T Cafe or Bala's get some british style breakfast, scones, bread, tea etc

Dinner - steamboat lor.... sometimes DIY at apartment, sometimes go shop

silverstar (银星) well known for cut throat
u may tru ok tuck, mayflower, highland (charcoal) or the organic 1...
most of them are quite similiar

freshness...depends.... low season...maybe not so fresh...
peak season they will get more vege frequently

if u wan, u can have lunch steamboat at kea farm
opt for the outside tables
u can have ur lunch in front of all the vege, strawberry farms at kea farm..
but food wise... ok ok la...

the attraction is kinda seperate

u either choose between Town or Outskirt
that's all

this weekend shud be okay since it is not peak period

rainbow is okay IMO, they are clean, and most important..got astro
avoid iris if u ask me

whereas casa de la rosa is nowhere near 150 IIRC

so actually rainbow, parkland, kowloon is okay for me
there are under same management afterall IIANM

No, u will have a hard time looking for public transport unless u get tour package or rent a taxi for inbound tour

no idea
never take taxi there before
but the 1 day in bound trip is around rm100+ last time (few yrs ago)

the trek at robinson fall is pretty easy and it's often used by many visitors
so the "trek" is pretty obvious itself

or u wan moar challenge, take the path num 1 (at the peak of gunung brinchang) which is a very difficult, unless u got loads of energy and experience, else i will suggest u to take the robinson fall path
