Chikmaglur was chosen on account of its proximity to Bangalore and its lush environment. After much searching we came across Riverwoods - and it suited our needs of a playarea for kids and a range of activities for adults. We were a group of 10 that visited Riverwoods in the last weekend of Oct 2012.
Badminton rackets/shuttle, cricket bat/ball, tree-house, and a swing ensured that the kids stayed occupied all day. It was a delight to watch them enjoy themselves.
The artwork and antiques all over the cottage are quite beautiful.Beautiful flowers adorned the garden; Rabbits and a little pond added to the natural charm of the place.The barbeque nights under the starlit skies was an excellent wind-down.
Wading in the waters of the Bhadra with the kids was soothing to our urban souls.
Enjoying the coffee plantation while darting away from leeches was a funny sight - in retrospect.
We enjoyed this place and so did the kids.
