Kota Tinggi is a small transit town better known for the Lombong Waterfalls. The popular 37-meter high waterfalls are located 14 kilometers north-west of the town and complemented by picnic spots, a camping ground, chalets for overnight stay and restaurants. On the town's northern outskirts is the site of the Kota Tinggi Mausoleum, the resting place of many famous royal personalities, including Sultan Mahmud, the last "white blood" sultan of the Malaccan line who was murdered by his nobles in 1699. It is a popular pilgrimage destination for many native Malays.

Disappointed!!!
I took my family there recently, May 2008. The entrance fee was quite high in comparable to Malaysian standards. The food was terrible. The food was expensive and tasted terrible. The famous burger Ramly urger we ordered were dry overcooked and had no taste. It cost me R$20 for 2 small water bottle and 3 "sugar" ice cream. There were flies all over the food preparation area. The man handling the food was also handling the money and the thrash. There is no cleanliness and very bad hygiene practise. The toilet was dirty and disgusting! The lower waterfall "pool" water is dirty. The rental for the tube is expensive and there is no safety precautions. The "waterslide" is not even worth a ride. This place should have been kept the way it was many years ago, ALL NATURAL and not trying to make it a water theme park which is more for the monkeys! My family stayed for only an hour and they wanted to leave b/c they were bored to death! A waste of money and time. Very disappointed!
Would you recommend this to a friend?
No

Why? / Why Not?
A waste of money and time!

Kota Tinggi used to be nice. However, it's now mostly overcrowded with people and very noisy....
