I personally stayed here the last time I was in Cameron Highlands (which was about Dec 2006) and I loved it here.
Service was personal and friendly and I paid something like RM60 for a double room with attached bathroom (it was shoulder season I guess). For more details on the rates, please go to their website as the rates may change from time to time. Or you can email danielslodge@hotmail.com for exact rates.
Location of this lodge is just 3 minutes away from the Tanah Rata bus station (you have to walk up a slope to get to this lodge; which is great coz it means you’re away from the hustle and bustle of the main road). Please note that Cameron Highland’s main town is at Brinchang and not Tanah Rata which is a quieter part of Cameron Highlands.
However, you can also ask the staff at the lodge to book for you bus tickets to Kuala Lumpur (city of Malaysia) and the bus will depart from the Tanah Rata bus station. Do book your bus ticket at least a day in advance if you don’t want to be disappointed.
Foodwise is not a problem for us as we just had to walk down the slope and turn left before coming into several eating places. They serve local fare as well as the more popular steamboat.
The best part I love about Daniel’s Lodge besides the reasonable rates is that they have a real campfire (with logs and all) right behind the Jungle Bar. As the weather can be quite cold in Cameron Highlands, it’s really nice to gather around the fire and make friends with other lodgers or simply sit and enjoy the warmth.
