If you are looking for an escape from the buzzing city life, this is the place. You can breath-in the calm and clean nature in this homestay. A huge 4 bedroom house is provided to our group consisted of 5 adults and 4 kids. Rooms are old but clean and nicely renovated. 6 hour drive from Bangalore. Roads are good... More

I have stayed there with kids and really enjoyed stay of 3 days. Vegetarian food can be better. I quiet location with a tiny river bed within 3 minutes walk and cool farm house. One need to have own transport to reach this place but a very safe heaven. Follow the route map given by the home stay on their... More

Riverwoods is a pleasant get-away to retreat to for a quiet holiday for anyone looking for a homey atmosphere in sylvan surroundings. It is not strictly a homestay (where one lives with a family in their own home) but it feels like one, thanks to the simple, warm hospitality extended by the courteous and cooperative staff, not to mention the...

We were 6 of us who traveled in Feb 2013. The homestay was nice with big rooms and clean bathrooms. We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days and never had our rooms cleaned, sheets changed or bathrooms washed even once. With rains and no door mats the floors got dirty with mud and nobody did any cleaning at all.... More

We had a trip to River woods with 17 friends and all of us were really excited about it. However, it took sometime for us to reach the resort as the distance from Bangalore was a little far away but it was worth the pain. We took Homestay and Cottage stay and both of them were really good, clean and... More

This is not a home stay! It's a nice, comfortable and elegant place to plead and unwind. The staff are very helpful and nice. It's maintained pretty well! Most importantly, there is a river flowing thru Thierry estate! If you love peace, nature and calm, it's an awesome place to be! Will surely go again! And lastly, a special mention... More

Coorg might be prettier coffee country, but Chikmagalur is definitely the prettier countryside. And it’s while driving up to Riverwoods, one of the region’s best homestays, that you realise just how ‘wild’ Chikmagalur actually is. Riverwoods is a family owned estate run by the Perises for the last few generations and the love they lavish on their property shows in... More

We stayed in riverwood's large private cottage on 20-Oct-2012. For the first look we felt like the stay is more than worth the money that we are paying. Bedroom is spacious with big beds and bathrooms are spacious too. The staff was very kind and very helpful. Food was good and simple and my son enjoyed a lot. This can... More

this place has the best location advantage, though it may seem far away from bangalore compared to the other chikmaglur resorts. It is very close to the rafting start point (in case of faraway resorts, you might end up cancelling the plan owing to the sheer distance), its got the beautiful bharda in its backyard, where u can take a...

Our stay at Riverwoods will be remembered for a long time. My wife and I decided to take a quick getaway and called up Riverwoods for a booking. They were kind to provide us with a cottage promptly. Throughout our journey from Bangalors to Chickmaglur, the staff was guiding us though my GPS was helping me. We reached Riverwoods for... More
