Best things to do in Cameron Highlands

Cameron Highlands Resort is a boutique hideaway, with a forested mountainscape. Set amidst tea plantations and rolling hills of Cameron Highlands, at 1,500m, it is a long extension of an existing 1930s cottage. Promising splendour, romance and nostalgia, the interiors hark back to its grand colonial heritage with tall French doors, timber-beamed ceilings and plantation shutters combined with the colours and textures of Jim Thompson’s famed Asian silks.

The first impressions of the Lakehouse Resort are of a typical English Tudor country manor house that is beautifully decorated with artefacts. The hotel is full of common spaces like a library and lounges that gives a feeling of staying in a home of a rich English nobleman. The cosy living rooms are perfect for spending quality bonding time and the outside facing terraces for relaxing or feeding on cool mountain air. There is a fireplace in one of the living rooms and I am enticed to use on a chilly night.
