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.

Stayed at Rosa Passadena - Cameron Highlands, Malaysia.

Unfortunately, the area currently resembles a construction site, due to major road building works. Heavy, persistent rain during our visit did not help, leading to mud slides. However, we enjoyed visiting the Boh tea estates, butterfly garden, bee farm and rose centre. Drove to Gunung Brinchang, the highest point on peninsular Malaysia, where the views were absolutely spectacular. (We travelled in a hired car).
I feel that the Cameron Highlands stands in danger of overdevelopment , leading to it's losing the very uniqueness which makes it so special.

Cameron Highlands is certainly worth visiting for it's beautiful views and clean, fresh air. But be sure to take warm clothes with you, as it's much cooler than in the rest of Malaysia. Wear proper shoes for a jungle trek, as the path is often steep and slippery. Robinson Falls littered with rubbish hanging from the trees over the water,the local authority doesn't seem to be bothered by it.

Stayed at Lakehouse Cameron Highlands, The - Cameron Highlands, Malaysia.

Around the immediate environens of the Lakehouse there is not much you are able to do without access to transport. I hired a car and driver and visited a tea plantation, flower farm and a few other venues known to the driver. ( Did not arrange this through the Lakehouse.) Countryside is MAGNIFICENT.

We loved the highland area. We climbed to the highest point (over 6500ft) and it was very challenging and rewarding. If you're not in physical condition, do not attempt without a guide. The differences between the highlands and KL are worlds apart.
The drive up the mountain took almost 4 hours, so if you're prone to car sickness, be prepared. The scenery was breathtaking. It rained about the same time everyday, but was very refreshing.

The hotel is three and a half hours north of K-L. The first two hours is by motorway followed by 90 minutes driving up the mountain round hairpin bends.
There is very little to do except play golf and walk the area. The half day visit to the Boh tea plantation is worth the time. We ate in the hotel each night because as ex-pats we cannot get English food! To get around you need a car although taxis are readily available and cheap.
