Wogoxette Upstairs & Walk-up to SIAR Cameron Highlands (Retro Stay)

A hidden homestay in the middle of a neighbourhood village of Cameron Highlands. 

Lately, many local malaysian are inclined to the concept of retro. Despite being in a resort, a restaurant or a cafe, retro style is highly immersed into the decorations  theme. Retro style is populat nowadays as it helps reminisce some good childhood memory or some beautiful footages we all had gone through in the past era. 

In this modern era, we can hardly find the toys, the snacks, the appliances that our grandmother used to coax us or raise us in the most purified way of living. Those traditions and memory will start fading away when the digital era takes place. 

I'm sure those who are born in year 80s and prior, you might be always wowed by the antique collection if you happen to visit some of retro museum. These old collection somehow reminds us that the simply the best. Despite having all the modernised living concept in this millennium era, but those days in the past was still the best fundamental and the most priceless part in our lifelong journey. 

That's also why some of the resorts start converting their interior deco into a retro concept and this is also giving the locals a feels of coming home and time travelling to the most virginal era !

I'm here introduce 2 homestay situated in Cameron Highlands with a most authentic retro feels. They're run by the healtitute group. I'm truly impressed by their detail of deco as well as the retro interior. A combination of modern classic. It allows a feeling of a time-travel vacation !
