Strawberry Park Resort Cameron Highlands - Secluded Sanctuary For Introverts

 Strawberry Park Resort Cameron Highlands - Introvert's Perfect Sanctuary

Picture credit: https://strawberryparkresorts.com/

I'm always on the hunt for an introvert's getaway.

As you can probably tell, I love misty mountain retreats. The tranquility, cool crisp air, breathtaking view, the seclusion are just 😍 perfect for introverting.

I chanced upon Strawberry Park Resort while staying at SunLight Suite during my last trip to Cameron Highlands. 

I was admiring the night view from Sunlight Suite's compound when I saw a well-lit area on the adjacent hill and remembered thinking to myself

"Hmm, that looks like an expensive place....but I gotta check it out!"

As it turns out, it wasn't that expensive considering the comfort, the facilities, and the invigorating environment. 

Hotel Booking

I booked through Agoda for a 3-day 2 nights stay, without breakfast for RM720+.

Before my trip, I emailed the resort for booking confirmation, coz you know how sometimes Agoda tends to mess up your booking, and the resort replied almost immediately. 

⭐⭐⭐ for customer service!

Welcome to Strawberry Park Resort!


The luxurious resort is nestled among lush jungles and mountain ranges and has been around for quite some time. 

Just like Sunlight Suite, it's few minutes drive away from Tanah Rata & Brinchang town but secluded enough to escape from Cameron's crazy traffic.

It's like you're in Cameron Highlands but not in Cameron Highlands. Do you get me?
Please enjoy my all senget pictures

Check-in was a breeze, the lobby has a nice old-English feel to it. While some people say it's old and tired, I love the quaint, old resort feel. But let me tell you, the resort is well-maintained. 

Although the landscape is not as immaculate as Sunlight Suite, Strawberry Park's has its own charm.

If you're driving, there's plenty of open space parking.
Felt like I was in an ang moh country neighbourhood


Good morning beautiful!

The Rooms

Wooden flooring😍

The rooms are newly refurbished. It felt fresh and clean and so much more spacious than most hotel rooms. The beddings are comfy, pillows are fluffy. It's like sleeping on a cloud. 

The best thing about the rooms? They all have a half-circle balcony with sitting areas where you can just sit, read and soak in the ambiance. 


Don't get me started on the bathrooms. It was modern, and more spacious than my apartment room 😭

This hand towel holder is such a nice touch

The water pressure is strong, even when you're using hot water which is an absolute necessity in cold places like Cameron. 

Room Facilities

  • TV - small, pretty dated looking with not many channels but hey, you don't come to Cameron to watch TV right? 
  • Tea & Coffee making facility
  • Small fridge
  • Wardrobe/ storage space
  • Hair dryer
The rooms are not air-conditioned, as most places in Cameron are since the air is cooler but the weather nowadays is HOT. If there's one thing to improve about the room, is to have a fan installed because it gets stuffy at times, especially in the afternoon.

Room Tips: The rooms are in a few blocks with 4 levels. There's no lift. If you're traveling with kids/seniors, request for units on the low floor. 

What To Do In Strawberry Park Resort?

Right after we checked in, it started to rain. We quickly bancuh our coffee, took out biscuits and snacks we bought in Brinchang, sat on the balcony, and just admire the falling rain.

Ahhh such a wonderful life to just be in the moment. Just rain, mist, and cool air. It was so quiet and serene. 

In the evening, we went for a walk around the resort compound, admiring the lovely landscaping, especially at night they have these string lights on tall pine trees, it felt like Christmas!

The Deck is the entrance to their in-house Spa but it's closed till further notice though

Komorebi - a beautiful and poetic term that describes the dappled or filtered sunlight that shines through the leaves of trees


If you're traveling with kids, there's a small children's playground too.

And later at night, we drove out for dinner at this steamboat place really close to the resort, M Cafe Steamboat & Grill

We pretty much did the same thing for 3 days. Sit on the balcony, drink some coffee, catch up on some reading, taking naps, went for morning & evening walks. 

Believe me or not, most guests were like that too. hahaha! It was so quiet at the resort you would think that it was empty but there were guests around. Probably holed up in their rooms too. 

It's like this place is an introvert magnet. 

We only went out to nearby town for food and did not go to any tourist attractions to avoid getting caught in Cameron's nightmare traffic. Plus, this is like my zillionth time in Cameron 😅

But if you're looking for things to do, there's a heated indoor swimming pool and gym and the resort does offer tour packages/activities that you can sign up for. 

Food & Beverage Options

If you're lazy to drive out, there are a few in-house dining options you can choose from. 

There's a steamboat dinner package and their hi-tea set for two deals (RM70 for 2 people) is pretty tempting too. We were not scones-person so we gave it a miss.

As An Introvert, Would I Re-visit?

Heck YES!

But if you can, avoid school holidays or peak season for tourists. 

Compared to Sunlight Suites, Strawberry Park is more established in the tourism industry so it tends to attract big tour groups. During my stay, there were a few tourist vans coming and going. 

My room is facing the lobby and because it was so quiet and devoid of white noises, I can hear clearly car doors shutting, engines running, and conversations going on. 

It is probably better to request a jungle-facing room.

But all in all, I would definitely come back to recharge, relax & rejuvenate.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan.

Manusia Dua Alam

  Pernah jumpa tak manusia yang indah khabar dari rupa? Ataupun manusia yang dalam sosial media adalah seseorang yang sangat menarik hidupnya, melancong sana sini, kelihatan peramah dengan cerita-cerita pasal orang sekeliling dia tapi dalam kehidupan sebenar, agak sendu dan krik krik? Pernah kan? Inilah manusia dua alam dimana alam maya dan alam realiti dia berbeza umpama langit dan bumi. Ada seorang manusia ni, kita namakan dia XX (bukan nama sebenar). XX ni sering update cerita panjang lebar dalam sosial media dia. Satu gambar dia upload selalu disertakan dengan karangan 2 mukasurat.  Ada sekali dia upload gambar makanan yang diberikan rakan sekerja dia. Mulalah karangan 2 muka surat dia menceritakan mak si anu masak makanan lebih sikit untuk dia, si polan pun bagi makanan. Betapa murahnya rezeki dia dan bertuah dikelilingi kawan-kawan yang baik dan thoughtful. Wahhh kemain. Tapi dalam alam realiti, dia manusia berperangai pelik dan tidak boleh difahami. K...

Inferno Panic

Last night, Joel, Anne and i was chatting in the house when we smell something burning. We looked everywhere for the source of the smell until i saw smoke coming out of the main switchboard.  First it was only smoke, then little flame. Before long, the fire got bigger! Smoke fill the house and it smell of burning plastic and rubber. We panic and run out of the house. Knocked on neighbour's door to ask if they have fire extinguisher while Anne and I trying to think who to call for help. We wanted to call bomba but didn't know the number! In that moment of panic, we forgot that it's 999. So we call friends asking for bomba's number. Anne called her friend and the first thing her friend said "Anne! Save your laptop and your thesis!"  Only post-grad students understand this. Thesis and our research is more valuable than your IC or money or thousand dollar phone because only we know how difficult, how important our thesis is. Its a lifetime effort and hard...

Amazing Swimming Pools

I am a Pisces and "pisces" in Latin means fish. Pisces love to swim. So that explains my strong affinity for water. Just like a fish, i find water to be calming and soothing. Recently i've began to swim regularly after so long. Not only it is a good exercise, it releases stress and is extremely calming. I've read somewhere that water is a good medium to buffer and absorb all your negative energy and emotions. Two in one eh? I've developed obsession over swimming pools recently. Why i always seems to have obsession lately is beyond me. The nicest pool i've been to so far was this pool with an amazing view of Petronas Twin Tower. Perfect for a night swim as it was quiet and the pool is heated. Macam infinity pool tapi tidak juga.   Infinity pools are the nicest! Jom cuci mata sambil berangan ada pool macam ni... Ooh that's super nice. Perfect for a night swim. This is a pool in Bali. So calming. Next trip perhaps? ...
