Grand Cherengin Hills Convention & Spa Resort in Kampung Janda Baik |
Want to enjoy a kampung setting with urban comforts? ZALINA MOHD SOM knows just the right place.
ITS location on the hill places the three-storey Cherengin Hills Convention & Spa Resort above the rest.
Based on its size, the resort is probably the biggest lodging available in Kampung Janda Baik.

While other accommodation in the area are typical kampung-style chalets or resorts, Cherengin Hills is an ambitious 136-room hotel housed in a big, concrete building.
“We want to bring a typical hotel to the kampung so visitors can enjoy five-star facilities and service in a peaceful, quiet environment,” says chief executive officer Mohd Fauzi Abd Latif.
Hence, it is no surprise to see appliances and furnishings that are the norm in five-star city hotels, including LCD TV with in-house movies, Internet access and other facilities.

Cherengin Hills’ swimming pool |
This provides a change to the typical chalets and kampung-themed resort, especially for those who still prefer to have their urban hotel comforts.
But its winning factor is the breathtaking view of the hills right across its front lawn. The view is even better in the morning when the mist rolls over to let the sun shine on the mountain peaks. With its comprehensive convention package, Cherengin Hills is an ideal location for corporate companies looking for a short getaway for their events.
