The bus journey was comfortable. Cameron highland is a beautiful place to visit - the cactus garden & tea plantations are a must see. The butterfly and bee farms are not as good as expected.

the hotel is situated on top of a hill, it is a very good place for relaxation because of the quiet environment. Only a few minutes drive will reach the town where there are good restaurants. My family & I will still stay in this hotel if we go to Cameron Highlands again.

cameron highland is a nice destination.if you are travelling by driving on your own better to travel during the daytime sinece there are many land slides because of rain.the roads are also curvy.
The place called gunung brinchang in sungai balas road should not be missed since it offers excellent scenic view and is the top most point in peninsular malaysia.but self driving with excellent driving skills are required to reach this place.
there are no indian restaurents available offering decent food.

Cameron Highlands is a very beautiful place. Places worth visiting are the BOH Tea Estates at Ringlet (best illustration of how tea is processed mechanically) and Sungai Palais (best for illustration of manual processing of tea), Bharat Tea Estate (good milk tea served at the kiosk), vegetable terraces, rose garden, flower nurseries, strawberry farms and peak of Gunung Brinchang (bird's eye view of Cameron Highlands). It was convenient and cheap to charter a taxi to take you to these places. I signed up for a countryside tour with C.S Travel for RM$15 per person. This tour was good value for money. For the rest of those destinations, I paid about RM$20 per hour to get a personal guide to bring me to these places. All in all, I spent RM$15 for the countryside tour and another RM$120 (6 hours) to cover those places not in the countryside tour.

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.

As we had a car we could easily visit all places in one day! If you don't have transportation you need more days to see it all. If you like to hike do stay even longer as this is a very nice place to walk. We started at Boh Tea estate: Sungei Palas. This Tea estate is very nice located and you can walk to it from the main road. It goes hilldown first and it takes you about 35 minutes. Back it is up the hill again and you will need 50 minutes. It is a nice walk and at the end you will find the visitors centre and a Tea shop. They have a free guided tour and a little cafe. Take a morning to visit this.
In all the shops you can buy a map of the Cameron Highlands which gives you a good orientation and information of what to do.
If you like the old english period do visit the Smoke house. We had dinner there - you have to take your money with you, but worth it. High tea is also a good alternative to use here.

The Cameron Highlands is a great place to visit - wonderfully cool weather - lots to do and very good food. We rented a car and drove ourselves.

Interesting destination although two days is enough. Scenery is spectacular, a four-wheel drive would be better for some of the more distant locations eg. Blue Valley tea estate. Attractions over stated in the brochures. The butterfly farm was particularly disappointing most of the exhibits were corpses (unintentional). The only Tea Estate open to visitors is closed on a Monday and not always manufacturing on other days of the week, if this is important it is worth checking.

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.
