Surroundings

Stare at the serenity of the rainforest from dawn to dusk. It is really that calming. Some would say disturbing because they aren’t used to this sort of pace, where time meanders through the day and one learns to be at peace with it.

 

If you feel bored perhaps this is the sort of boredom your mind truly needs. Frolic at the cool natural stream (most times cloudy due to the development upstream) that runs through our house ground or feed the little fishes in the pond.

Dining

Eat, drink, and chill whilst submerging in the amazing rainforest view from the veranda or the open air viewing deck. We have a different breakfast each day along with coffee and tea. Expect eggs, toast & sausages, or nasi lemak, or noodles at 8.30am every morning.

 

Some members of the family love the barbeque. You will see a home-made BBQ pit equipped with a commercial sink outside. Sit out in the outdoor viewing deck, enjoy the cool night air, gaze at the stars, and savour the flavours of your very own freshly cooked barbeque. It’s an activity we highly recommend you do. We provide the charcoal and BBQ equipment for guests upon request. Please bring your prepared barbeque meats and such (or you will have to go hunt them yourselves – just kidding). Simple seasonings like salt, soy sauce, pepper, sugar and oil are also available.

This is the best time to catch up with reading. Bring your own books and find a cosy corner of the house to enjoy it. We have an extensive range of books (but you may not like them) and children board games (board games make city kids bored, so bring have them bring their electronic gadgets – we have WiFi with Unifi @300mbps). Mobile coverage is still limited.

We provide WiFi access under Unifi at 300mbps. For mobile service, only Celcom is accessible at certain corners of the retreat at the moment.

Parking

Awesome vacation in retreat KL, Rest Pause

We provide 4 parking bays at the house but some find driving down to the porch at the house a little challenging. After the signboard, you’ll see a steep slope down. Keep calm and don’t panic. Just put it on a lower gear and have your brakes ready. After the first time you will find it’s not that scary after all. The 80 year old grandpa of the house has been driving down this slope all these years. You may choose to park at the road side before entering the house. Please do not park at the neighbour’s house.

Caretakers
