The Rock Lodge

This past weekend, we went with 14 friends to a local getaway called, ‘Rock Lodge.’ It was definitely appropriately named as the entire residence was built around enormous boulders. We just went for an overnight including a couple of hikes, a braai, an awesome fireside sing-along, and a crazy thunderstorm (which fortunately stayed on the other side of the valley for our viewing pleasure). It was extremely ‘Robinson Crusoe-esque.’
The entrance

One of two ‘bunk rooms.’ Mine was the one with the tree in it.
Here’s the view of the bunk room from the outside.
