I’ll look into Nova. I’ve done some research on TripAdvisor already but I just wanted to get feedback from my fellow Singaporeans. Particularly about the train-bus option.

Hello 🙂


We are thinking of going to Cameron Highlands end Nov/early Dec. Have some questions:
* what's the travel time to take train from Woodlands to KL and then take bus from KL to CH (just looking at this as alternative to spending nine hours in a coach)

* what are top recommendations for accommodation at CH? We don't drive so will have to rely on local tour companies or the accommodation to provide transport to the local sights (will probably cover the tea plantation, strawberry farm, morning or night market)

Thanks!
Hi jacsplace, I stayed at Nova hotel last December. The hotel was generally OK but I am sure there are better choices. You may wish to do a search on TripAdvisor as it allows you to filter by budget and other metrics. As for the traveling time, I wish I could help you on that but I would not want to provide ballpark figures which may be totally off. Pretty sure there are others who can shed light on that.

P.S. Felt compelled to share this shop at which I had breakfast. It is called Uncle Chow Kopitiam. Serves a wide range of stuff such as nasi lemak, char kway teow and western pastries (e.g. scones). You might need a vehicle to access that shop, depending on where your hotel is situated. Safe travels!

Cheers,
Lucky Cat GP Guru

Hi I stayed at the Equatorial Cameron Highlands which is the only hotel located the peak.. We had a 2 bedroom apartment which was nice and spacious and the view was amazing! Of course, if you are expecting brand new furniture and stuff, don't go there. (am talking about the apartments, not sure about the hotel) Its pretty dated and even looks haunted at night as its relatively quiet... haha

Lucky lor... I nvr get chance to go.... :gloomy:

dash88:
can take tigerair to ipoh and then take taxi up.

Hi Dash88

Thanks for sharing this new route. I'm very interested to take this flight.

Please advise if Ipoh airport runs express bus services to Cameron Highlands. I know there are many Cameron-bound buses departing from Ipoh city itself.

If I cab from Ipoh airport to Cameron Highlands, how long will it take me and how much does it cost? And is it easy to book a cab to get down?

Which taxi operator is more reliable? All metered fare or fare-negotiable??

TIA!

We enjoyed the huge space, thou our unit didn't get the best view, but cleanliness was satisfying, hot heater ok, wifi .. so it depends your luck on getting the choice unit as some are quite disappointment according to the reviews at booking.com. . I can send you the direct contact and save 12% on rates.


The overall apartment does seems poorly maintain, and if you go on weekdays, it looks like haunted block because only few units were occupied. But comes to weekend, it became alive!

Also the slope up the apartment was really tiring.. i can sent you pics if you want.

[quote=\"schen\"]Any good location and reasonably priced hotels to recommend? Plan to go in Dec holidays with parents n kids....


Just came back from Cameron highlands, fly to Penang, take a coach up to CH. Stay at Crown Imperial Apartment, 3 bedroom, at brinchang town, about $100 a day, very near to pasar malam, which open from fri noon to sun noon.

Weather in the day is cooling, but came to night time was freezing, closed all the windows and doors, wearing 2 thick shirt and pants, shocks, covered with thick blanket, still feeling cold...

The coach from Penang has many stop, should take from KL.

How is the condition of crown imperial army apartment? Are you satisfied with it?[/quote]

Hotel de la ferns is mid price. Lots of choice of hotels there.

We booked the same hotel (Hotel De La Fern) and we have no complains about the place. Only thing is that my advice is not to go to Cameron during the Malaysian school holidays. We encountered traffic jams during the trip. This was due to cars stopping to park their cars along the narrow roads at the road side markets.


We had a memorable drive up Gunung Brinchang. At 2032 m, it is the second highest mountain in Cameron Highlands. The road up to the Mossy Forest was narrow and winding. We have to park one side for vehicles coming from the other direction. This road is the highest paved road in Malaysia. While we were there at the forest, the clouds are passing by and it was quite an interesting feeling to be "in" the rain. My son finally had a chance to pick strawberries at a farm on the way down this time.

Only nite time then cold. I went 2 yrs ago also not cold, only at nite cooling.


I find Cameron highlands ok leh. Maybe I stayed at Brinchang area and self drive. Most attractions and markets are at Brinchang area.

I like the night market there. We walked to the night market daily and find things there cheap. We bought strawberries and sweet corns back. Their sweet corns no need cook one, just eat it raw very sweet. I remember 4 boxes of strawberries at RM10 and many sweet corns for RM10 also.

We stayed 3D2N and find overall very relaxing. I don’t mind to go back again if got chance.

Would like to share about CH trip… not very happening… We arranged a mini bus (5 adults and 3 kids) to CH and took us almost 4 hours… Strawberry farm and bee farm are huge disappointment!! Tea farm also nothing much although the scenery is good. Weather wasn’t cold at all. We heard that CH is no longer cold anymore because many trees have been chopped off.

We stayed in Century Pines… there’s a small town within walking distance but mostly malay/indian food. nothing much to shop or see… Only more comforting thing is the breakfast served at the hotel was not bad.

All in all, I think this is going to be my first and last trip to CH.
