The the next town is tanah rata (15 km). The only way to go there is by taxi (15 Ringit) or by own car. If you are coming from KL by bus then give a hint to the bus-driver, then he will stop by the lakehouse. A very good indish restaurant in tanah rata is Suria. Very friendly staff and good food.

The strawberry farms along the way up are a sham and not worth wasting time to even explore. There's a BOH tea station along the way with a nice view of the mountains which is worth stopping at.
Having Lunch at the Lakehouse Hotel is also a good idea if you want to take a drive and have lunch at a scenic location. Please do take warm clothing with you just in case it gets cold. It gets cold in the evenings/night.

Bharat's tea graden has nice views of the tea plantation. Rose garden was nice with lots of blooming flowers of all kinds. Butterfly farm also not a bad place to visit. Kea Farm near the equatorial had lots of fresh produce. There is also a large playground in Tanah Ratah which kids can run around. A few strawberry farms around which look kinda similar.

We enjoyed cool air and a lot of flowers. Also we enjoyed tea with nice scone or shortbread at many place. Picking own strawberry at Equatorial Strawberry farm is enjoyable for children. If you come from Europe, you can see unique tropical trees and life of aborigine but not so much tropical feeling.

I have been to the Cameron highlands 3 times now, the jungle walks are excellent. You don't need a guide but have to be fairly fit. Do go to the Smokehouse for tea and a scone and do visit the tea plantation. There is only enough to do for maybe 2 days and it's quite a long journey 3.5 -4 hours from KL. You can get a taxi for about 200RM.

A very facinating place to visit. The rich rain forest, waterfalls and the vegetable garden. Good to stay in apartment where you can cook the fresh veg.

Must check out this night market (not sure what is it call)....but I know it is between two petrol kiosk (gas stations) i.e. Shell and Petronas. Food is excellent and cheap. Must try!
However, can forget about the Boh Tea Plantation. Quite a distance away on a bumpy road. Nothing much to view.

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

The "lake" over which there is a view was a brown mud hole when we were there...the kind of place that sounds great in ad-agency produced tourist brochure copy. Don't go to the Lakehouse for a view of the lake!
Hotel restaurant had nice food, but pricey by Malaysian standards. Our dinner cost as much as our room.
