Bala's Chalet is pretty and cozy but sucks in terms of services. You'll do fine if you're immune to no room service, bland food, frequent follow-ups. If you love your bath water to turn ice cold just as you've applied soap all over - you'll not want to go anywhere else. And if you like to hear NO to every request ranging from an umbrella for wet weather, to help in lugging your bags from the 2nd floor - Bala's chalet is heaven!!Cameron Highlands, where we went for a couple of days, during Deepavali - Hari Raya break doesn't have much to do. To be fair, it never claimed to be a hub of hectic activity. What you get is good weather with average temperature at 15C, good views with green mountains flirting with clouds and good walks amidst rainforests. Carry a book and pair of walking shoes and you'll do fine in Cameron.
Coming back to Bala's Chalet, all wasn't depressing. To its credit, it has a nice building - it used to be British school. The whole compound has an abundance of flowers and greenery. You walk out of your room to a view of the hills in the distance and a bed of flowers at your feet. Here are some of the flowers up close:
