Bahau Negeri Sembilan

We were in Bahau, Negeri Sembilan last weekend for a cousin's wedding and since we have never been to Bahau before, this may be a good opportunity to have a mini vacation there. As such, my wife googled for a hotel over in Bahau or nearby and came up with Era Hotel Bahau, Jempol.  The website's photos look promising and as such we proceeded to book online via their website at www.erahotel.com.my

A bit about Bahau from our trusted Wikipedia :

"Bahau merupakan sebuah bandar di dalam Daerah Jempol, Negeri Sembilan. Ia terletak 11 km dari Bandar Seri Jempol dan 24 km dari Kuala Pilah. Kebanyakan penduduknya bekerja dalam sektor pertanian, diikuti sektor perkhidmatan dan perniagaan. Antara tempat yang menarik di sini ialah Teratak Za'ba.

Terdapat sebuah kampung yang diberi nama Kampung Jambu Lapan dimana wujudnya laluan bersejarah yang lebih dikenali sebagai PENARIKAN . Berdasarkan sumber maklumat yang boleh dipercayai, Hang Tuah sering menggunakan laluan ini."

Well on the day we checked in at about 5pm and although the hotel seems deserted at first but as we were there, more and more people started to appear and check in. Maybe they are just like us trying to check the hotel out. Anyways, this hotel is not bad at all and I may give it a 2-star rating. It is located  in the middle of a housing area and right in front of Taman Tasik Bahau.

The hotel does not offer breakfast but there are a few shops and a mamak restaurant within walking distance. For convenience, just beside the hotel is Pasaraya Sakan and Billion Departmental Store. No worries about getting food nor other supplies.

The room is also quite roomy and clean. Although the smell of cigarette smoke still lingers, it goes unnoticeable after turning on the air conditioner. There are selected ASTRO channel over on the in-house TV. There is a lso a massage and reflexology center, bowling (although it seems that is has closed down) and a KTV (definitely closed down !)

Here's a few photos that I'd like to share with you :

A friendly reminder that replenishment and bathroom ammenities are chargeable if you ask for extras (naturally).

There is also a massage and reflexology within the hotel...

The view of Taman Tasik Bahau... Although it is comparatively small in size but you'd see a lot of people jogging during the evenings...
