Review: Fifty4ferns, Kampung Janda Baik, Pahang

Happy September folks! New month, new challenge!

Therefore I am challenging myself, (well not really a challenge to some, but it is to me as it's HARD to stay consistent in doing something for a long haul) to keep on posting (unpaid) reviews of hotels, chalets, cafes and restaurants that I've been to so far. Some of you are aware that I live to travel and my hobby is hotel hopping and Iphone photography. Well, nothing is more perfect than to combine my purpose in life with what I love to do most into a post that could benefit the society, right? Wait no longer as here is my pilot review of a place that really captured my heart. I hope my readers will create memories here too! Have a good read <3

We first decided to find a place that is not too far from KL, but must be outside KL. Annoying, I know. But, bless us we found this gem perfectly hidden in nature, which happens to perfectly fits our condition. My schoolmate and I were preparing a bachelorette short gateway for a friend and she happens to have a friend who has visited this place. So I did not expect much as mind me, I am very skeptical when it comes to chalets in Malaysia. I.WAS.WRONG! Please let my untouched/no filter photos below to show you how amazing this place is.

However, finding this place was a bit tricky even in broad daylight. Located about 45minutes from KL, we wazed our way there but you know, it never hurts to be extra careful. Carefully looked at roadsigns for Fifty4ferns (white background, smaller in size compared to other resorts) on your left once you entered main gate of Kampung Janda Baik. We drove at 60/80mph as to not missed them. It was a straight road all the way, until you need to turn right to enter a one way road to the place. TIP!* Remember that the restaurants you see at the junction, is the ONLY and NEAREST restaurants to the chalet. You might want to pack some food from there before you check in.

From there, 10/20mph is my advice to prevent any possible collision with opposite car. Just follow the road all the way for about 8-10mins. Remember to honk at corners! You'll see an arched entrance to Fifty4ferns that writes Welcome to Fifty4ferns. Once you arrived, park your car and ask around for the reception as you need to walk a little inside. Look for Anjung Pakis!

Reception : Anjung Pakis

That's our chalet : Golden Shower

We booked a deluxe chalet, priced at RM495 (gst included) per night. Quite expensive but so worth it! If you arrived earlier than your check in time, you can enjoy playing congkak or fusball in the reception area. 

More infos on the chalet in their brochure!

They have koi fish, tilapia and HUGE patin in the lake where you can feed them by request.

Deluxe chalet has King bed with sofa bed

We brought that, please do not expect a bedside photo frame.

We organized that. Please do not expect decorations in your room.

Can you see the fish?

This picture does not do the pool justice as you need to see it for yourself

Instagram worthy space

The sambal was delicious!

Beautiful pathway along the way to Anjung Kasih

They have 12 units of chalets to date but currently they are constructing a few more nearby the zoo. Yes, they also have a small zoo with bird sanctuary and deer farm! We can ride bycicles for free (depends on availability) to circle around the place which I highly recommend all to do so. There's also a jacuzzi nearby a treehouse chalet. I'd suggest you dip in early in the morning as the water turns murky and full of sands in the evening.

Sanctuary located just above the chalets

Deer feeding is allowed at your own risk!

2 days 1 night is just right for a short gateway to refresh our minds from our daily hectic lifestyle. Especially in a place like this, where you can catch up old stories with your schoolmates, gather your big family for a family day, reconnect with the real world, real stuff that really matters to us. Oh, say goodbye to your social media as there is ZERO line for any telcos. You can forget FB, IG, Twitters etc here HAHAH. Good thing they have wifi at the reception so worry not~

That's all for today's review and do leave comments if you need me to clarify just about anything!

Memories.
