This is an incredible place to stay. The room is built out over a promontory looking over a river with mountains beyond. Mr and Mrs Vargese were kind and caring. We ate in their dining room and were treated to real Keralan cooking. We felt really cared for and will definitely return.

From the moment my husband and I arrived and saw the cottage, the beauty kept unfolding and it just got better everyday. Quiet, private, serene with180 degrees unobstructed view of mountains, trees and river through glass walls and balcony. Beautiful sunrise from bed. Room was spotlessly clean, fresh linen and towels, sunshades...everything was well thought of.. Even the sink area... More

Another wonderful couple who really cared about having us stay stay with them. We stayed three nights and friends, who had only decided late on to join us on our Kerala trip, stayed at The Shades nearby (about 2 miles). Homestay is about 15 miles from Munnar so you will need transport to get around but delightful to be staying... More

Varghese and Elyama were truly wonderful host. They enjoyed caring for us and prepared excellent evening meals. The location of our little cottage was ideal and the views were stunning. We stayed for five nights and apart from the early morning calls for prayers, the location was very peaceful.

I stayed at riverrocks with my partner for 3 nights. Our inital plan was to stay at munnar for 1 night then to kovalam for 2 nights. But hotels in munnar were all booked and from Mr. saj we came to know about riverrocks. Once we get there the complete idea changed. We never had a feeling that we are... More

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at this charming homestay. The room has been recently built, it's large, very clean and well fitted out with lights, fans, storage and of course a flat screen TV. The bathroom has plenty of hot water. The best thing about the room is the balcony overlooking a running river and... More

I was a spoiled guest at River Rock for 2 nights in November of 2012. Wow, what an experience... First, this is a true homestay. There is only one cottage and you are the only guest. You really become a member of the Varghese family. The family consists of the father, mother, their daughter in law, and her charming 2... More

We fully agree with the review left by bbestnyc. This is a great place to stay and the family are lovely and although they appear to be less familiar with dealing with tourists we felt this only added to the charm. The food was amazing although be prepared to use your hands! Cable TV, no WiFi/internet. Balcony with river view.... More

My husband and I were lucky enough to stay at River Rock for two nights during the last week of December 2011. The Vargese family is lovely and Mr Varguese has built a beautifully romantic and well-maintained cabana with a balcony overlooking a scenic small river valley. We had a driver (Babu from Sajhome in Cochin) take us to the... More
