Your Hosts

YOUR HOSTS

Your hosts at Evergreen Yurt are Mathias and Robin, along with their rescue dog, Lucy.

Ten years ago, Mathias, from Germany, and Robin, from the United States, made New Zealand their home. After meeting in Wellington, they shared a dream of leaving the bustling city for countryside peace. In 2021, they made that dream a reality by moving to Kaeo and establishing Evergreen Reserve—a place for guests to escape into nature.

Evergreen Reserve’s mission reflects Mathias and Robin’s dedication to conserving New Zealand’s native bush, protecting the Kiwi bird population, enhancing biodiversity, controlling pests, and offering a warm B&B experience for guests to reconnect with nature. Hosting WWOOFers from around the world adds fresh energy and stories to their sanctuary.

The couple enjoys taking joy in nurturing native plants and planting trees, supported by a community of neighbours who share their love for the land.

With years of hospitality experience worldwide, Mathias brings a passion for hosting, ensuring every guest feels at home. Their glamping inspiration came from a memorable 2018 stay at another Canopy Camping escape.

TESTIMONIALS

“ This is, by far, one of the most restful and peaceful venues we have had the privilege of staying at. An extreme amount of thought has gone into every detail at Evergreen Yurt, from the drive up to the yurt to all the amenities and the pristine facilities. Cannot highly recommend this place enough for people wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of normal life and to bask in pure nature and tranquillity. ”

“ Amazing stay and birthday surprise for my husband. Mathias was incredible and kept him believing during the whole drive that he was just going to plant trees! The place is a beautiful cocoon. The yurt feels very safe and warm, even during a huge storm, we felt so comfortable inside, so loved, so cared for, so grounded. The bedding is incredible, with different pillows to choose from. Everything is there, honestly, perfection. The outdoor bath is magical, the kitchen is extremely well equipped, and everything is impeccably clean. The roof design is a real masterpiece; you find yourself admiring it again and again. You really feel at the end of the world, up on top of the hill. We felt like the kings of the world. The best part, the calm. The birds, the nature, the wind, the soft murmurs around us. Nature was just dancing for us. Only for us. A perfect day off for the two of us, far away from phones and work. ”

“ We had a fantastic three-night stay and highly recommend it. From the moment we arrived, the experience exceeded our expectations. The outdoor spaces were a highlight, with plenty of seating to relax, enjoy a meal, and take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding bush and hills. The outdoor firepit was a wonderful touch, perfect for toasting marshmallows under the stars. Our yurt was spacious, well thought out, and beautifully designed. It had a cosy couch, a dining table with chairs, and a comfortable bed, all positioned to face the stunning scenery. The ambient lighting created a peaceful atmosphere, making it perfect for relaxing. The outdoor bath was also well-positioned to allow us to enjoy the expansive views, adding an extra layer of relaxation. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed for basic cooking and barbecuing, so we could easily prepare our meals. The buggy ride through the bush to reach the accommodation was a fun and memorable way to start and finish our stay. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, and we can’t wait to come back. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with a mix of comfort, relaxation, and natural beauty, this place is the perfect choice. ”

“ As soon as we arrived, our host Mathias made us feel so welcome. We loved the buggy journey to the amazing Evergreen Yurt, hearing how this incredible venture began. Immersed in the outdoor bath while soaking up the breathtaking sunset views and majestic starlit nights was a definite highlight. Hearing the ruru and kiwi at night was a bonus too. The accommodation was super clean, comfortable and intimate. We look forward to returning again. ”

“ My wife and I had an amazing four nights at the Evergreen Yurt. It ended up raining most of the time, however the yurt was super cosy with the fireplace and we were very comfortable. A perfect opportunity to read, play lots of card and board games, and truly relax on the top of a hill in a beautiful surrounding. The outdoor bath is also a real highlight. The host was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We even got to plant a native tree on the property on our final morning. We had such a lovely time. Couldn’t recommend it enough. ”
