About the host
Hosted by Matt Brebner
Over the past 10+ years, we transformed empty farmland into an enchanting eco-haven garden retreat, learning every skill along the way to create a perfect escape. With over 15 years in hospitality, we designed and built this light-filled, natural series of buildings initially for our loved ones—our family, parent and friends—that we now proudly share with you. Enjoy a space crafted for introspection, healing, and happiness.
