How to get to Cyberview Lodge

This post was updated on 5th October!


It’s not exactly very easy to get here if it’s your first time to Cyberview. The roads at Cyberjaya and Putrajaya can be confusing at times. Good thing there isn't much traffic in Cyberjaya.

Remember – it is Cyberjaya you are after, NOT Putrajaya (they are next to each other). When you are in Cyberjaya, there are signboards pointing to Cyberview Lodge Resort and Spa, so keep a look out on those (which sometimes could be behind an untrimmed tree).

If you get lost, or need better instructions, please do contact Cyberview – they will be able to assist much more than us! Save their number onto your mobile, just in case!
The below information are taken from Cyberview website

Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa
Persiaran Multimedia

Selangor, Malaysia
Tel: (603) 8312-7000

GPS Coordinate

The key roads to remember is the cross junction of Persiaran Apec and Persiaran Multimedia, and the section to pay attention to is Cyber 6 and Cyber 7. I believe Cyberview is in Cyber 7 (though it does not seem to be stated in the address), but I remember seeing a Cyber 7 sign just before the entry into Cyberview.

Alternatively you can get your directions from Google Map (however, don't expect the map for Malaysia to be as accurate as Australia because it's a developing country, hence the roads and buildings changes from the time google map was last updated), but it should be good enough as a guide :)

How far is Cyberview Lodge from Australia? About 8 hours direct flight from Melbourne Airport to KL International Airport, Sepang. It's about 30 minutes drive from KLIA.
Some geography tips. Malaysia is divided to East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak) which is on Borneo Island, and Cyberview Lodge is location on West Malaysia (commonly known as Peninsular Malaysia, or in Malay - Semenanjung Malaysia). It is divided by the South China Sea.
Cyberview lodge is not far from all the key areas in Selangor - Subang Jaya (where WK and her best friends grew up), Puchong (where WK's family is), Petaling Jaya (huge housing estates which plenty of food and shopping centres), Kajang (best satay in place in Malaysia), Kuala Lumpur (the capital of Malaysia), Putrajaya (government administration - similiar to Canberra but bigger!), Sepang (where F1 and KLIA is located).

If you happen to stumble upon the rate less than the above, please do let us know and we will negotiate with the resort to get the best deals.

They do not have many rooms - only 74 rooms! Therefore it is important to book early to avoid disappointment. Please let us know as soon as you have made the decision to stay here (preferably by 1st September), so we can secure the accommodation with the resort. Please provide the following details:
- Check in / check out day and time (normal check in time is 3.00pm while check out time is 12.00pm but we can try to request for earlier check in time – subject to availability)
- Room Type (otherwise will assume it's the Deluxe Chalet)
- Names of guests staying overnight

We recommend staying only 1 night here – which is on the 8th of January 2012, and checking out on the 9th of January if you want to explore Malaysia. This is because there’s really nothing much to do in the surrounding area (except checking out Putrajaya for a few hours) and limited public transportation as soon as you step outside the resort. Unless of course if all you want to do is to relax in the resort, by all means go ahead – we will not stop you! :)

Additional details about staying at Cyberview Lodge below. Hopefully this summary will be helpful to you, otherwise feel free to visit Cyberview’s website or google Cyberview Lodge for further information.

1.       Breakfast is normally included in the room rates.

2.       There is a famous Malaysian kopitiam just around the corner (open 24 hours), probably a 5 minutes drive and 20 minutes walk from the Resort.

3.       There are complimentary transfers provided by the Resort:
-          Express Rail Link (ERL), Putrajaya Station. [Airport Rail]
-          Alamanda Shopping Mall, Putrajaya (except Fridays). [We think it’s not a very exciting shopping mall. There are many bigger malls outside of Cyberjaya / Putrajaya]
-          To (2000hrs) and from (2200hrs) the Putrajaya Pasar Malam ( Night Market ) on Fridays only. [Can’t comment much as have not been there]
-          To (1100hrs) and from (1900hrs) the Kuala Lumpur City Centre ( KLCC ).[same location as Petronas Twin Towers], and easy public transportation from KLCC to other parts of KL.

4.       Airport Transfer Limousine Service
-          RM140 nett per way [We estimate the taxi service will cost about RM50 – RM80 from KLIA/LCCT to Cyberview lodge]

5.       Sometimes they have famous international guests staying here!
-          The F1 McLaren team stayed at Cyberview this year
-          Maroon 5 was there few months ago
-          Australia’s ex prime minister John Howard (and other leaders) were there for the APEC summit many years ago

6.       There are a few restaurants in the resort (besides the expected room service meals):
-          Bistro Cascata – Italian cuisine [frankly speaking, we don’t expect much of Italian food in Malaysia in general, but we have not tried this place so should not disregard it immediately]
-          Karma Lounge – bar/drinks lounge [We liked this place when we first saw it and wanted to use it for something related to our wedding, but too bad they did not allow us to book  this place]
-          Xing Chu Restaurant – Chinese cuisine
-          Verandah Restaurant – Pan-Asian meal (buffet or ala-carte) [Yes, this is where the wedding dinner will be held!]

7.       Facilities
-          Spa [apparently this is quite good, and guests normally come to Cyberview for the resort atmosphere and this spa!]
-          Fishing in Cyberview lake [But we do not encourage it because we are not big fans of hooking the fish’s mouth L]
-          Swimming in “lake-like” pool and lap pool [but we are not sure if there is a separate lap pool, or they are just referring to the same “lake-pool” still]
-          Mountain biking [We can’t really picture a mountain though, maybe just some mini hills in some parkland]
-          Tennis
-          Mini Basketball
-          Gym Fitness Centre


Of course, most importantly - the reason to stay over on the 8th is for the company! We will be staying the night here. :)

Our Wedding Venue

Join our wedding celebration at Cyberview Lodge, Cyberjaya.

We are planning for an outdoor western style wedding ceremony (hopefully the weather is kind to us),


followed by Pre-Dinner Cocktail (for all) and Tea Ceremony (for relatives), and ending the night with wedding reception dinner at Verandah Restaurant (note that it is not at the ballroom but the restaurant – located on the right side of the lake as you leave the reception).

We chose the Verandah Restaurant over the ballroom because we liked the idea of a more informal feel, and the fact that it has windows all around to see outside! Of course, it will be better decorated on the day and not looking as plain as the photo below.


Perhaps you can steal some time before the wedding to cool down in the swimming pool that is made to look like a fake lake. Not sure about after though, but when it is all dark and quiet, no one will know!



There are other facilities in the resort, and for sure you’ll be able to use it when you decide to stay for the night or more!
