Looking for your next green getaway? To complement yesterday’s recommendations, here’s another handful of lovely locations in the Klang Valley – a short commute away from the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur city – that are perfect for families with children.
Remember, though, that while the retreats below are categorised as kid-friendly, they’re nevertheless set in nature and are bound to have some elements of unpredictability. If you’re planning on a stay, remember to remain vigilant and supervise your children at all times.
1. Glamgoat Aman Dusun Farm Retreat
This retreat in Hulu Langat is perfect for little ones who adore farm animals. Choose between the Riverview house and the Blue House, the latter an open concept accommodation with no bedrooms. Experience farm life and enjoy fresh goat’s milk and yoghurt daily for breakfast.
If you happen to visit during the fruit season from June to August, have fun handpicking an array of local fruits from around the compound. Other family-friendly offerings include bicycles for rent, and fishing, though visitors are required to bring their own rods.
Do note that swimming in the nearby river is not recommended due to the unpredictable current.

2. Dolomite Templer
A perfect blend of nature and modern entertainment under one roof, this homestay is designed with a stunning view of Bukit Anak Takun in Rawang, and boasts an outdoor swing perched over a private plunge pool.
Enjoy a BBQ dinner under the stars, then spend the evening competing in the game box, or singing your hearts out in the karaoke room. Kids, especially, will enjoy Dolomite Templer’s “e-gaming capsule” – an arcade – the first such amenity offered at a staycation destination.

3. Rumah Kebun
This private villa has a rustic and minimalist design, and is surrounded by lush hills and greenery. Enjoy a refreshing plunge in the natural springwater pool, or take a splash in the pristine waters of the Semungkis River, which runs across the property.
Your children will love feeding the goats and free-range kampung chickens. In the meantime, if the older ones and grown-ups are up for something more intense, head on a 3-4km hike to the nearby waterfall.

Parents, do note that the outdoor timber deck has bushes instead of handrails, and there are no barriers to the jacuzzi. Safety first!
