Monthly Rentals in Manjolai

A Soulful Escape Just an Hour from Trivandrum – Truly a Hidden Treasure Ritu River Retreat isn’t just a place — it’s a feeling. One of the most serene and breathtaking destinations I’ve had the joy of experiencing in recent times. Tucked away just an hour’s drive from Trivandrum, this gem sits close to the road, yet feels miles away from the chaos of the world. Because there’s not much development around, what you hear is not traffic or noise — but the gentle, hypnotic melody of the river flowing by. And when it rains… the entire landscape transforms into something straight out of a dream. The property is alive — vibrant, green, and lovingly cared for. Every corner feels like it has a story. The house is a true beauty — charming, rustic, yet tastefully kept. It has all the essentials: a cozy kitchen setup, a neat washroom, and ample space for a group to unwind. But this isn’t the kind of place you come to party. It’s a sanctuary. A space meant to be respected and relished for its raw.

We had an excellent time and our cohost was accommodating and helpful. A quaint community with lots of things to do.

We were 6 ppl ( 4 adults , one 19 year old and one 13 yr old ) . THe place was neat and clean, very close to the Thiruparappu falls, which was our primary requirement . The place was clean, neat and had all basic things that was required for us . We enjoyed the silence and the place in general. Falls is literally a 5 minute walk and so is the boat club. The caretaker Mr SUresh was really polite, friendly and very helpful. We are complete vegetarians, hence we had requested to check on some good place to get us veg breakfast , caretaker took pains to get us breakfast , the food was okay not that great, its not the host's fault but you may have to make your own food if you are particular. Other than that, has parking for 2 cars. The place is a good one for a family

My stay at this homestay was amazing! The place is beautifully designed with a modern style, and it felt just like staying in a high-end hotel. Everything was provided to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The host was incredibly friendly and easy to communicate with, making the whole process seamless. I highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a great stay!
