A good place for those that prefer a quite retreat, Jungle Trial and Town is within walking distance. For those that expect shopping mall nearby, don't come here!

My husband and I flew into KL airport and hired a car from there. The best way to journey to the Highlands in my opinion.
The drive was about 4 hours, but you pass through some stunningly beautiful scenery which makes the long journey worhth every minute.
We drove as far North as you can on the Cameron Highlands map, and didn't really find anything particulary interesting to see. We stopped in at Butterfly gardens, where we saw thousands of butterflies horribly trapped in a neglected wired enclosures, fighting for thier lives. We didn't visit the tea factory as we are from Ceylon, so figured we had been there done that.
The Highlanders seemed proud of their very tourist destinations - ie cactus farm -where they have grown thousands of cacti so tourist can go see...go figure...
But there are strawberries to be picked, which are delicious, and the Old Smoke house- the other boutique restaurant to visit, oh and lot of golf to be played, if that does it for you.
The smokehouse is much older than the lakehouse, and is much pricier. Very beautiful. It really felt we were spending a summer afternoon in the heart of England. They boast an a la carte menu, but if the roast turkey, stuffing and potatoes is anything to go buy- dont bother eating there.
The rooms are lovely, cosy, authentic looking, even the cheapest has a living area, separate from the bedroom. Perfect if you are staying a couple of days, a bit claustrophobiic if you holiday plans are longer.
We were in the mood to do absolutely nothing ,so unfortunatley i cant tell you about the jungle trekking!

Cameron Highlands are very beautiful although rapidly being spoilt by out of control high rise developments. Tour of the tea plantation is a highlight. Good jungle trekking although the paths are often not well signed.

Cameron Highland is not as serene and scenic as it used to be due to the vast development and new building sites.
I recommend the teas estates and jungle walks.

Its location is strategic as most of the attractions is Cameron Highlands are within its neighbourhood. E.g. Cactus Valley, Rose Garden, Kea Farm, Butterfly Farm, Bee Farm, Rose Valley, etc.

The ride up here is amazing: two hours of hairpin bends through the rainforest with steep gullies under almost every bend. The road is well maintained for the most part but some inside corners are eroding alarmingly. We did the journey down in a public bus which was an experience not to be missed!
There are some interesting and amusing places to visit all of which can be reached by regular tours bookable from the hotel or from the office in the main street. The tea plantations are all around and the conducted tour round the factory is good. Each tour has about 8 stops of varying value but itis a worthwhile half day out.
There is a good choice of eateries in Tanah Rata and a survey of their menus will almost certainly produce something to suit most palates. There is also a choice if internet facilities and banks.
The ride up to Gunung Brinchang, the highest accessible point on peninsula Malaysia is well worth doing as the views are superb, but choose a day when there's not too much cloud on the hills. We didn't and couldn't see a thing when we got there, but the taxi driver was still qiuite pleased to take his fare!
There is enough to see and do here for a couple of days but probably not much more unless you enjoy the pleasure of hill walking.

Tanah Rata is a lovely town and the temperature is very cool after the heat of KL.
Plenty of good restaurants and laundry close by.
Excellent walks in the area but not very well signposted.
Good tea plantation tours which are very interesting, which should be taken in the morning as that is when the tea is picked.

Cameron is more of a place where you can go & relax. If you are interested in just sightseeing, you have chosen the wrong place.

Half day sight seeing country tour is very essential. It covers some good spots like tea plantations, strawberry farms, rose garden etc. visit to cactus valley is a must. Good jungle walks. If have time and money to spare, waterfall near tapah is good.
Shal's in brinchang is worth at least one meal.
