Jesters Flat

Reviewed By Happyguest611

I had a BRILLIANT time horse riding with Chelsea in the bush, she showed me around the area, gave me tips to improve my technique and we saw loads of kangaroos! Jesters Flat is a really cool place that I happily could have hung out at all day, they've created something really special and it's super easy to reach by car from Margaret River. LOVED IT!!!
