Part 2 - Good Resthouse in Frasers Hills
 |
We were
back to Frasers Hills again once more.
This time to check out the Resthouse on the Hill resorts. From The Gap, a 8 kilometers hill route takes visitor to this point. This is the Gateway to the Hill resort. It is at the boundary between the states of Selangor and Pahang. Officially, the gate is on the Selangor side! |
|
So is the area of Frasers Hills in Pahang or Selangor? The answer came at the end of this short stretch to the summit. This next entry point seats on a ridge. After this point, most part of the resort area is on the eastern slope i.e. Pahang Side. The business hub |
| This hill
station is essentially made up of private homes scattered over the
slopes of the many "peaks". There is no township and hence no town
center. Upon arrival, all essential services for the Hill Station are
concentrated. Post Office, Police station, Shops, eateries and a Golf
Club make up this focal point. To mark the center a clock tower stands! This
rather cute but more appropriately, decorative signage
was found at several major road junctions.
It would not give a good guide to your homes but for the lost souls who needed a watering hole. Appropriate. Overall they served well as ornamental pieces, at least, they are enhancing the ambience of the resort. More facts on Frasers Hills are available -Log on to our other pages. |

Clock
towers had always been associated with town center.
This one was no different, so Khoo joined the rank of models in welcoming you, who has been so nice of you to visit this page of ours. |
Stress free resort lifestyle
| Condominium
blocks strategically stacked up and perching on a vantage
hill top.
Well exposed for visitors to envy and offer good views for those occupants. |
 |
 |
Some house owners prefer to have their houses neatly stash away in the valley's yet discreetly visible to passing traffic. Quite a deviation from the concept of having bungalows hidden from sight |
| "Ye
old Smokehouse" a commercial outlet, hope to follow
its success in Cameroon Highlands, was fast making itself a landmark
in Frasers Hills.
It was popular with visitors and very well patronized on weekends.. |
 |
The Rest house
The Resthouse was a stunningly beautiful colonial styled bungalow standing on a noticeable summit.
| It was extremely
popular for the budget conscious holiday makers and large
groups.
During our visit, 2 separate church groups filled the whole bungalow. |
 |
 |
We were
charmed by the tall windows and the Tudor style of
architecture.
The building had also opt for pure white with black trimming for its external color. |
 |
One level
down, this vast playground was the size of several
football fields.
Strange for this rather large lands bank surrounded by neighborly peaks and rolling hills, to be intact. |
| A view of
the Rest house from its entrance.
There is a long driveway. Then, unusual to have the access from the rear. |
 |
Life in Frasers Hills
| It was
difficult to spot the local
community of the Frasers Hills resort. They are
scattered and little traces of community life seen in
the town center.
On the contrary, the presence of this primary school then indicated the size of local Chinese community! |
 |
 |
We
were not prepared for bird watching. Some how we must try out the jungle trails.
They came in handy for us to do some testing of our physical fitness. We were also rewarded with many ginger flowers in full bloom. |
We were satisfied that one more Resthouse was kept alive till the close of the century
