After Arrival – Reaching the Apartment
Upon reaching Brinchang or Tanah Rata, follow signage to Barrington Square or Jalan Golden Hills. The apartment building is well-positioned and guests frequently comment on the ease of walking to the local night market from the location (just a few minutes’ walk) — which emphasises its accessibility. If you drive, once parked you can access via lift/elevator to your floor. Because of the highland climate, evenings tend to be cooler — you may want a jacket for your walk from your vehicle to reception.
Local Transfers & Getting Around
-
Taxis or ride-share: Available in the Cameron Highlands region; useful for trips to attractions if you do not have your own vehicle.
-
Car hire: Offers flexibility to visit strawberry farms, tea plantations, jungle trails and more at your own pace.
-
Walking: From the apartment you can walk to the night market (especially in the evening), local restaurants and convenience shops which is a plus if you don’t want to drive every time.
-
Weather & road tips: In the highlands, roads may be narrow and more winding than lowland highways; ensure your driver is comfortable with highland driving. Rain and mist may also reduce visibility, so allow extra time.
Planning Tips
-
If you arrive late in the day, drive with care and perhaps ensure your accommodation knows your estimated arrival time. At Golden Hills Apartment, check-in starts at 15:00 (3pm) and check-out is before 12:00 (midday) in many units.
-
If flying in, allow buffer time for transfers to highland roads and for slower highland driving conditions.
-
During weekends and public holidays the Cameron Highlands night market and main roads can become quite busy — if you’re driving in during peak times, plan in advance for traffic, parking and arrival delays. Guests at the property have noted the benefits of being within walking distance of the night market to avoid parking issues.
-
For those relying on public transport, verify schedules ahead of time and confirm drop-off points near Brinchang or Tanah Rata with walking access to the apartment.

How to Get Here
Getting to Golden Hills Apartment is relatively straightforward, though due to its location in the highlands you’ll want to plan ahead for transport — especially if arriving from afar. Below is a guide to help you reach the apartment smoothly.
Nearest Airports & Routes
The closest major airport is Sultan Azlan Shah Airport (Ipoh) – approximately a 1.5-2 hour drive to Cameron Highlands depending on traffic and weather. From there you can hire a car, taxi or use a transfer service to reach the apartment.
If arriving from further afield (e.g., Kuala Lumpur or elsewhere), you’ll typically travel by car or coach to the Cameron Highlands region and then onwards to the apartment’s location.
By Car / Self-Drive
Driving to Cameron Highlands offers lovely scenic views, but be aware the roads can be winding in places and weather (fog, rain) can affect conditions. Once in the region, navigate to Barrington Square, Jalan Golden Hills 1, situated between Brinchang and Tanah Rata. The apartment is conveniently located for access to both towns. Parking is available on site (self-parking, possible surcharge) which is a significant convenience given the popularity of the area.
By Public Transport / Coach
If you prefer not to drive, coach services from Kuala Lumpur or Ipoh to Tanah Rata or Brinchang are available. Once you arrive in the region, you may take a local taxi or ride-share up to the address. Because Golden Hills Apartment lies between the two towns, it’s relatively easy to access from either hub.
