Negeri Sembilan accommodation from AU$128

The Malaysian state of Negeri Sembilan - simply meaning ‘land of nine states’ - derives its name from when the region was ruled by nine separate Malay chieftains. Negeri Sembilan’s landscapes are varied: there are picturesque valleys and plains underneath green hills and mountains, rustic villages, waterfalls and rivers. Seremban, its capital, is a short journey by road or rail from Kuala Lumpur, making it a perfect weekend escape from stresses of city life or for a long relaxing holiday.

Stay in our Seremban hotels and visit the Cultural Handicraft Complex where you will see a variety of cultural attractions such as the State Museum, housed in an old wooden palace, and the State Mosque adorned with nine pillars which symbolise the nine districts in Negeri Sembilan. You can also simply relax, and take a walk through the beautiful lakes and gardens. Visit Sri Menanti Palace - now converted to the Royal Museum – where you will see a beautiful exhibition of local Minangkabau-style architecture, reflecting the influence from Sumatra, Indonesia.
