2D1N Kukup (Hello Leisure Resort) Trip Summary

30 September, 2009

Travel Mates

A mixture of colleagues and friends + Melbourne Mates – Xiaoying, Caroline, Kia Ai, TY and I 🙂  In case you are wondering why we are posing with an imaginary phone each – it’s because the Kukup resort is called ‘Hello Leisure Resort’ so we are “hello-ing” with a phone.

Getting to Kukup, Pontian, Johor

Kukup is a small fishing village located about 40 kilometres southwest of Johor Bahru, in the district of Pontian, Johor, on the Strait of Malacca in Malaysia.  We had arranged for a 13-seater mini-bus to pick us up from Singapore to Kukup direct.  Although the bus was quite packed (we had exactly 13 people), the 1-hour+ ride was comfortable.

Excursion Bus Transport to Kukup from Singapore

As the pathways in the Kukup Fishing Village are quite narrow, the bus dropped us off right outside the village and we took a 10-minute slow walk to our Hello Resort Chalet.  The weather was quite hot so bring along sunglasses and umbrellas if you can’t bear walking under the sun for 10 minutes.

Walking into Kukup Fishing Village Malaysia

There are many other chalets in this Kukup fishing village – some of them are located even further (20-30 minute walk).  There are even porterage services for guests staying deep inside the village, with lots of luggages.

Our Hello Leisure Resort – quite a big chalet compared to the other houses around the area.  We occupied the entire ground floor while the owners – Mr Hello and his family occupied the second floor.

      There isnt any place to go in Kukup – most ppl go to Kukup to chill out at the chalet, sing KTV and eat seafood.
