Rock Retreat is a perfect place to get away from it all.It is ideal and popular with families,honeymoon couples,artists,musicians and writers.Great for reconnecting with yourself and your loved ones to enjoy well needed conversations that we often don't make time for in our busy lives. Curl up with a book by the log fire in winter or in the hammock on the balcony in summer.
