The Cameron Highlands are very picturesque and would definitely recommend a visit (unless you don't like BIG beetles !). We definitely needed a car for both sightseeing and to be able to visit the main town - Tanah Rata. We visited a tea plantation and although they were almost closing, they still gave us a tour around the factory. Most of the restaurants in the main town seem to offer much the same and are great value for money.

Not as 'picturesque' as I expected overall. Tanah Rata is utterly charmless. A long and tortuous drive to get there, and then get out again. A car (or driver) is a necessity to get around. Not much to see apart from the tea plantations (which are very nice).

Cameron Highlands is quite a nice place for hill station lovings but for my idea, the surroundings at Fraser Hill is much better.

Wish I could have spent more time at Cameron Highlands, but had a schedule to maintain. Great destination.

Cameron Highlands is highly recommended as a get away, perfect for a relaxing weekend. Places of interest would be the Boh plantation and Kea Farm as it is more localised for fresh flowers and strawberries as compared to the other newer locations.

Even though the lakehouse is a bit far from the main town of Tanah Rata about 10km but it is still within the reach of those who have their own transportation which is about 15min by car.The nearrest town is Ringlet that is about 4km away.You can still enjoy going around Cameron Highland using the public transportation and the lakehouse management staff will always be there to assist you.As for food,if you feel like dinning at a fabulous Lord of The Ring kind of place,lakehouse offers you the right restaurant to dine in.

We took 9 days to drive around Malaysia so we managed to get a really good feel for the place.
The best places to visit are KL: Chinatown for dinner and great night market; Cameron Highlands: Boh tea estate and great jungle treks that you can take without a guide; Penang: which is good but lacks the clear blue inviting waters of Langkawi or Phuket-Thailand but is very tourist friendly, also the hike up Penang Hill is invigorating (~1022 stairs)and worthwhile; Tasik Kenyir: a huge man-made lake, relatively unexplored for fishing, kayaking, jungle trekking and viewing waterfalls. Uncharacteristically clean for natural scenery in Asia!
We would not recommend Kota Bahru on the North Eastern coast where angry glares and facilities are not very inviting for tourists.

The tea plantations are very scenic, especially early in the morning. The perfect place to enjoy a cup of tea and a scone or the local curry puff. It is very convenient to get around if you drive. Alternatively, you may hire a local taxi to get around for RM18 per hour.

The Cameron Highlands are a great retreat. We took several jungle trails - watch out for the description "fairly steep in places" as this walk involved an hours steady near-vertical climb! The tea plantations and market gardens are a fascinating glimpse at a side of Malaysia which is otherwise invisible to visitors. A definite must for all visitors to Malaysia.

Cameron Highlands is indeed a charming place with its adverse alternation of cool night mist and scotching mid-day sun. Beautiful tea plantations and vastness of mountainous paths. Perfect strawberries just compliments the red wine we brought along. If not the substandard stay/servive we had from the Smokehouse, everything would have have been picture-perfect.
