Unbelievable Cameron Highlands Getaway: Ammara Homestay Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the lush, often-foggy, and always-charming world of the Cameron Highlands, specifically, the Unbelievable Cameron Highlands Getaway: Ammara Homestay Awaits! Yeah, that's a mouthful, but trust me, it's worth it. I just spent a week there, and well… let's just say my camera roll is now 90% pictures of tea plantations and 10% random shots of me looking ridiculously happy.
First Impressions (and a Little Bit of a Mess): The Good, The Okay, and the "Wait, Did I Pack a Toothbrush?"
Getting there is an adventure in itself. Accessibility: (Okay, gotta start with the nitty-gritty). The roads in the Cameron Highlands are, shall we say, winding. If you've got mobility issues, this is something to consider. Ammara itself has an elevator, which is a huge plus, and they seemed pretty keen on making things easy for facilities for disabled guests, but I didn't personally experience it. CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property gave me a sense of security, which is always nice, especially after a particularly potent cup of Cameron Highlands tea.
Finding the place? Easier than you think! Check-in/out [express] was a godsend after the drive, and the staff were lovely and welcoming. Even if I did stumble through the lobby with a suitcase and a near-empty bag of crisps. Front desk [24-hour] gives you serious peace of mind.
Rooms and the Great Sleep Experiment:
Okay, let's talk rooms. I had a non-smoking room (thank the heavens, as I am so not a smoker) and the window that opens was a godsend. The air up there? Crisp, clean, and filled with the scent of pine needles. Blackout curtains were PERFECT for sleeping in. I’m a sucker for a dark room, and these did not disappoint! Additional toilet, the basics were all there. Air conditioning, the bathrobes were fluffy, the hair dryer was surprisingly powerful, and the complimentary tea (of course!) was a nice touch. Free bottled water, you know, the little things that make life easier when you're away from home. In-room safe box, mini bar (because, why not!), and a refrigerator, really all the essentials to stay comfortable when on vacation. No complaints! It was all very clean and comfortable.
Was there anything that wasn't perfect? Hmmm… well, my first night, I spent about ten minutes trying to figure out how to turn on the TV. Turns out, the remote was hiding under the pillow. Facepalm. BUT hey, at least I had all the safety/security feature and soundproof rooms were amazing.
Sleep was key! After a day of exploring tea plantations and strawberry farms (more on those later!), I was OUT. Extra long bed? Yes, please! The mirror, and reading light, and all the other stuff were great. I'm not sure about it, but I'm guessing the couple's room are great too.
The Food Odyssey (And My Stomach's Verdict):
Alright, food. This is where Ammara REALLY shines. Seriously, I'm still dreaming of the food.
Dining, drinking, and snacking: A la carte in restaurant, Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Breakfast [buffet] and Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Restaurants, Salad in restaurant, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, and Western breakfast.
The restaurants offered a great variety of cuisines. The Asian cuisine options were fantastic and the desserts? Oh. My. Word. I may or may not have eaten three slices of some sort of coconut cake. I don’t even know what it was. However, they also had your more traditional options, like Western breakfast, etc.
Now, the breakfast [buffet]? That’s where things get really good. It’s not your usual hotel buffet. It’s like, “Welcome to Flavortown, population: YOU!” I am not a morning person, but I happily rolled out of bed every day for that breakfast. I'm a sucker for good coffee, and they had that too.
The "Things to Do" and "Ways to Relax" Extravaganza (Or, My Attempt at Zen):
Okay, let’s be honest… I went to the Cameron Highlands to chill. And Ammara delivers on the relaxation front!
Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor.
I spent a ridiculous amount of time in the pool. The pool with a view was the stuff of dreams. The spa services too gave me a sense of calm. Massage, sauna, and steamroom were great too. I would definitely get the Body scrub and Body wrap, if I had more time.
I didn't make it to the fitness center, but hey, walking around those tea plantations is a workout in itself!
Cleanliness, Safety, and the COVID-19 Saga:
Here's where Ammara really deserves some serious props.
Cleanliness and safety: Anti-viral cleaning products, Breakfast in room, Breakfast takeaway service, Cashless payment service, Daily disinfection in common areas, Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, Hand sanitizer, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Shared stationery removed, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment. Look, the pandemic is still a thing. and Ammara takes it seriously. They had all the necessary precautions in place without being overly intrusive. I felt safe. I noticed great practices everywhere on the property.
The Quirks, the Imperfections, and the Stuff That Makes It Real:
Look, no place is perfect. There were a few minor hiccups (like the TV remote incident, which, again, was my fault!). The WIFI situation was a little spotty in my room, which was annoying for a business meeting, but the Internet access – wireless was great enough. Also, the luggage storage was so convenient!

Escape to Marion: Your Perfect Holiday Inn Express Stay Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercup, because this isn't your perfectly-curated Instagram feed. This is REAL LIFE, Cameron Highlands style, and it's gonna be a wild, possibly muddy, ride. Here's my attempt at a chaotic schedule for a stay at Ammara Homestay, 4 Emerald Avenue, Brinchang, Malaysia. Let's get messy!
Day 1: Arrival, Tea and a Whole Lotta "Oops!"
- Time: ARRIVE! (Let's be honest, the arrival time is "whenever the heck the bus/taxi/rental car decides to cooperate.") Expected Arrival: late morning after a hopefully not vomit inducing bus ride.
- 11:00 - (ish): Arrive at Ammara Homestay. Oooooh, look at the charming facade! Let's hope the reality lives up to the photos. I'm secretly hoping for a vintage radio in the corner. Unpack. Immediately scout out the tea situation. This is crucial. I'm a caffeine fiend.
- 12:00 - (ish): Lunch - Found a local warung - probably after getting thoroughly lost because Malaysian road signs are just… suggestions, right? Ordered something that looked delicious. Crossing fingers it doesn’t set my tastebuds ablaze. (I’m a lightweight when it comes to spice).
- 14:00: That tea! Armed with a freshly brewed cup (or three) of local tea (hopefully not the bitter, over-steeped kind), a biscuit, and a notepad, it’s time to try and plan something that resembles a schedule. A real itinerary. Yeah, right.
- 15:00: Explore the local area. It’s essential to pick out a good lunch spot.
- 16:00 - (ish): Tea plantation visit. Okay, this is where it gets interesting. I need to understand the difference between a "silver tip" and a… whatever the other ones are. Expect a lot of awkward questions and probably a spilled cup of tea. My clumsiness is legendary.
- 18:00: Dinner. Local market. It’s where the magic happens. I'm aiming for something adventurous – perhaps a delicious curry? Or maybe just some fries, because sometimes you need that salty, crispy comfort.
- 20:00: Sleepy time. The air here is fresher!
- 21:00: Crash into bed. Praying my back holds up after the uphill hike to my warung of choice.
Day 2: Mossy Forests, Strawberry Overload, and a (Possible) Meltdown
- 8:00: Wake up. (Or maybe I'll just hit snooze five times. No judgment.) Breakfast at the homestay: fingers crossed for some yummy local grub.
- 9:00: Mossy Forest Hike! This is where the real adventure begins or ends. Pray for dry weather and no leeches. (Seriously, I'm terrified of leeches). Prepare for mystical scenery. Prepare for me to lose my bearings.
- 12:00: Lunch. Let's find a local cafe, or maybe we'll just picnic in the forest with the most Instagrammable view.
- 13:00: Strawberry farm time! Let's pick some strawberries, and probably eat most of them on the spot. I'm not going to pretend to be classy here. I'm going to be a strawberry glutton.
- 15:00: Time to start panicking about what to do next. Maybe browse the Brinchang night market.
- 18:00: Dinner, followed by a potentially disastrous attempt at playing cards with strangers.
- 20:00: More tea! Is it even possible to drink too much tea in the Cameron Highlands? I'm determined to find out.
- 21:00: Sleep. Ready for the next day of adventures.
Day 3: Departure (and Possibly a Sudden Craving for More Strawberries)
- 8:00: Wake up. Savor my last breakfast. Maybe try to buy tea to take back home.
- 9:00: Final exploration. Perhaps one last brisk walk, or a quick visit to a local shop for souvenirs.
- 10:00: Pack up my things, and clean up.
- 11:00: Depart Ammara Homestay. A bittersweet goodbye. Hoping that my experience was beautiful and that I find some new friends.
- 12:00: On either the bus to the next destination or back home.
Important Notes (a.k.a. "Adventures in Chaos"):
- Flexibility is Key: Things will go wrong. The bus will be late. You will get lost. Embrace it!
- Food is Life: Be adventurous with the food, but don't be afraid to sneak in a burger or two. Comfort food is important!
- Weather: The Cameron Highlands weather is famously unpredictable. Pack for everything. It can be sunny in the morning and pouring rain in the afternoon, you need to be prepared.
- People: Talk to the locals. They're the heart and soul of the Cameron Highlands. Even if you have a terrible time with the language barrier, they might be the best thing about your visit.
- Be Kind to Yourself: Don't put pressure on everything to be perfect. Some days are just meant to be spent relaxing and taking in the scenery.
- Keep some space for spontaneity: You might find something you didn't know you wanted to do. A little more flexibility can be exciting.
So there you have it. My imperfect, messy, and hopefully hilarious guide to a trip to the Cameron Highlands. Wish me luck, folks! May my tea be strong, my strawberries be plentiful, and my leeches stay far, far away. Let the adventures begin!
