2D1N Stay at UK Farm Agro Resort, Kluang.

 

    General Information

  • UK Farm Agro Resort is an agro resort in a fully operational farm and therefore it  provides an authentic farm stay experience.
  • It is about 250km from Kuala Lumpur (KL) and can be reached via North-South Highway in 2 1/2 to 3 hours depends on the traffic.

  • Facilities provided include restaurant, farm mart, souvenir shop, conference room, chalet, dormitory, BBQ area, open stage for performance, camp site , karaoke, beer area and DIY room.
  • 2 types of accommodation are available :  long house chalet and dormitory.  We stayed at the chalet.  Comfortable and clean chalet room with water heater, air conditioner and TV.
  • UK Farm tour is carried out by riding either open-concept mini bus or horse carte.
  • Different day trip or overnight stay packages are available for kindergarten, primary students or family.
      

    Must See

  • Sheep Grazing and Herding - watch flocks of goat and sheep coming out from their pens to graze and then herding back to their pens after finish grazing.  Grazing time is scheduled at 10am, 1pm and 4pm everyday.  It is advised to confirm again with the reception about the grazing and herding schedule.
  • Sunset Viewing - enjoy amazing sunset view over the vast green plain.  Best spot to view sunset in my opinion is the Beer Garden/ Beer Area.  If you are lucky, you might spot hornbill flying by :).


 

    Must Do

  • Visit the sheep pen whereby you can feed  baby goats with dry grass.  Each pack of dry grass costs RM3.  Here, you get to pet and hold a baby goat too if you would like to.
  • Feed baby goats with bottled milk in a separate outdoor pen.  Each bottle of milk costs RM2. You might get to feed free milk if you were there around 5pm when the counter selling was about to close because they normally won't keep the balance of unsold milk and will just feed all of them to the baby goats.
  • Feed ostrich at Ostrich Park.  Ostrich feed costs RM3 each.
  • Light a Good Fortune Lantern or "Kong Ming Deng" and fly it off at night.
  • Make a wish and throw it up onto the Wishing Tree in Mushroom Farm. 
  • Sheep Challenge - try to catch the sheep in 3 minutes and win yourself a secret present.
 

    Must Eat

  • Yummy mushroom snacks and grilled mushroom satay from Mushroom Farm restaurant.  The restaurant also serves vegetarian food.
  • For those who love lamb and mutton, there are a variety of lamb/mutton dishes served at the restaurant next to the reception.  Fresh goat milk and ice cream are sold too.
  •  
 

    Must Buy Souvenirs

  • Passion fruit pickles, passion fruit juice and passion fruit jam sold at the farm mart or souvenir shop.
  • Mushroom sold at Mushroom Farm.

 

    Useful Tips/Suggestions

  • Bring some board games along so that kids won't be bored at night.
  • After checking out the next day, you can stop by at Kluang Rail Coffee at Kluang Railway Station which is just 20 minutes drive away from UK Farm Agro Resort.  The coffee shop is famous for their coffee and toasted bread. Operating hours is from 7am-12pm and 2.30pm-6pm, closed on Thursday.

 

    Others

  • Other activities available are horse riding, archery and DIY sessions for t-shirt, cap, kite, etc.
  • Night life activities - BBQ for big group or upon request, karaoke, light Good Fortune Lantern or "Kong Ming Deng".
  • We were told that sometimes fireflies can be spotted at Mushroom Farm at night.  We didn't go because it was too dark there.
  • Herb Sanctuary has over 100 species of herbs.  You get to taste hot stevia tea free of charge here.  Roselle drink is sold at RM2 each.
