Had a lovely ride out today with Jesters. We were very lucky to be on highly trained and well behaved horses. Loved the scenery and all 4 of the staff were amazing. Would love to visit again!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids aged 10+ who want a genuine forest trail ride rather than a paddock loop. Complete beginners are actively catered for with pre-ride instruction.

β€œWow, what a weekend! From start to finish there were so many enjoyable moments on the Rosa Brook Retreat at Jesters Flat. Fiona and Paul are such wonderful hosts and their property is so tranquil and relaxing that you don’t want to leave. The trail guides on the weekend; Emma, Michelle, Yvonne, Lizzy and Ebony were so sharing of their wealth of knowledge on how to enjoy and improve your riding skills, with safety as the number one priority. The beautiful horses that are so well trained made the riding very enjoyable through the spectacular Boranup Forest and surrounding forest countryside. We were treated to absolutely delicious meals thanks to our wonderful family chefs Sally and Alex. This included lunch on the Saturday ride at Alex’s winery. The bell tents are very spacious with an extremely comfortable warm bed. If you are looking for an exceptional 2 day horse trekking experience, you can’t go past Jesters Flat. Thank you again Paul, Fiona and staff for a great weekend πŸ˜ƒ.”

β€œWe were a group of (generally) mature 10 NZ women celebrating various birthdays and/or taking some time out from our everyday lives. We really loved our Jesters Flat experience! It was such a treat to have excellent meals cooked for us, horses groomed and saddled, and guides to take us on different rides each day. The beds were super comfortable and we loved the thoughtful touches . The staff were all skilled, empathetic and caring. Paul and Fiona have set up a memorable experience. It was so special sharing in and hearing about Jesters Flat.”

β€œMyself and 2 friends just spent the most amazing weekend at Jesters Flat on the Rosa Brook Retreat. I can’t recommend this highly enough, 10 stars out of 5! The rides were simply amazing. They cater for all levels with plenty of trotting and cantering throughout the 2 days. And when you are not trotting you are walking through the most beautiful countryside, along rivers, through vineyards (with the owners approval of course). The rides were led by 4 extremely skilled and super friendly guides, ensuring everyone was well looked after and kept safe. My riding improved significantly over the 2 days. Glamping at Jesters Flat was beyond our expectations. The tents are gorgeous, beds super comfortable, and the meals & wine served throughout the weekend were first rate. Paul & Fiona went above and beyond to ensure that we all had the best weekend. They are the nicest people, probably why most of the guests were return visitors. We will definitely be back for another weekend retreat next year!”
