If you’re KL-based, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve got to commit to a three-hour drive or a day-long train ride for sweeping views of the great outdoors with not a shopping mall or tower in sight – but wait, you’re forgetting Kuala Kubu Baru.
Kool Haus, a contemporary, open-plan industrial house hanging on a hill, has a deck upon which you can drink in the sunset. And with five bedrooms, four baths, and a kitchen to boot, you don’t have to leave your comforts behind.
There’s no Wi-Fi on-site (but there is cell reception), and maybe that’s a good thing: no better time and place to quit the doomscroll than with your friends, barbecuing and stargazing in complete peace and privacy.
