Sarang by the Brook at Kuala Kubu Bahru

How appealing would it be to have a cozy stay in a colorful tinted container amidst the jungle not too far away from the city?  With the birds chirping away and a cute little salt water pool?
That’s exactly what we experienced a couple of months back.

We booked a night stay at the Sarang by the Brook at Kuala Kubu Bahru and it was one of the most perfect stays ever.

 

We were not headed there from KL but Gerik, so we only managed to check in at 3.30pm. The check-in was rather smooth. The staffs were really helpful and quick. The parking slots within the gated compound are limited, but there are more parking slots just right outside the gated compound and it is safe.

We were there on a weekend, so it was already crowded with a group of college kids and a couple of other families by the time we checked in. A smooth and simple check in later, we were given the back most room, where its balcony was facing the jungle. We weren’t really in favor with it in the beginning. Obviously, who prefers to have nothing but jungle as their staycation view, but later we realized that gave us the most privacy. So thankful for that!

The room was not fancy or anything of such. But it was so cozy and comfortable. The rooms come with an attached bathroom as well. Clean room with comfy bed and fluffy pillows! And lucky for us, our balcony was facing the forest and its the closest to the forest too!  We could hear the sound of the waterfall the whole night. It was just perfect.

We had our dinner and dessert at the tiny balcony with the sound of the waterfall.  Ahhh...Bliss! Exactly what we need. Away from the hustles and bustles of the city!

The initial plan was to go for a night trek but it was raining that night. So we dropped the plan. We didn't go to the pool either because it was crowded with a bunch of college kids. Which were totally fine about. We were more than happy to have spent our night gazing away from our tiny balcony.

The next day, we were up all early to a beautiful misty morning. I still remember the beautiful sight I woke up to that morning.

 

We decided to go on a search towards the sound of the waterfall we heard the whole night long. We trekked for about 5 minutes, hoping that we could find the waterfall only to learn from one of the staffs, the waterfall requires quite a bit of trekking. He told us that the in house caretakers can provide us with the guides for the trek. Sounded great but we were running late and were super hungry, so… ABORT MISSION. Maybe the next time around, we shall continue the search.


              

So anyway the stay was inclusive of breakfast. They provided us with a packet nasi lemak each.  It was neatly kept in a clear container with the guest name. Such a cute presentation!  We were served with some bread and coffee and tea as well.

 

The guests can use their kitchen if they wish to cook their own meals. It is quite well equipped. But got to be sure to wash and clean up after using the utensils.

What's next after breakfast? The salt water pool!! We jumped straight into the pool. Was the pool salty? Yes, it was!! LOL! And the pool is open all day and night! There was this huge unicorn float to just chill on. We spent the whole morning swimming away and we had the whole pool to ourselves. It was a perfect morning swim.

The check out time is at 12 pm. We left the place in the afternoon with huge smiles on our faces! A perfect quick getaway to rejuvenate the mind and soul!

Additional info
You can rent a bbq pit and apparatus to have barbeque dinner.  Unfortunately, we didn’t have any time to get the raw items to marinate in time for the barbeque, so we opted for Chinese dinner in the nearby KKB town. There are some good restaurants in the nearby town and for dessert, there is Secret Recipe in the town as well. So there are no worries about the food.
