I really enjoyed the week I spent with Diti in Leigh! Diti was a great host, very welcoming and always made sure I was taken care of. The tiny home/studio I stayed in was really lovely. It is very private but right next to the main house for easy access. I spent most of my working time outside in the garden, mainly helping clear a track that had

I stayed about ten days with Diti at the very beginning of my trip. I couldn't have wished for a better introduction into the country. Diti was very kind and helpful in terms of planning my trip and giving me advise on what not to miss. The work was very easy and she always came to check on me. I did some gardening work, and a bit of house work.

I'm so thankful and happy to have stayed with you. I will miss our eveningtalks! I'm looking forward to staying with you again:)You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

I stayed in Diti's house for about 10 days and I couldn't have had a better experience. I was always treated with a smile and was able to enjoy my time in New Zealand. I got to do gardening, housekeeping, take walks on the beaches and have interesting conversations about local and expat culture.

Thank you Diti because you gave me some wonderful memories! I would definitely visit her again :)You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Diti was the last stop on my trip and definitely a very good choice. I felt very comfortable and lived in a very nice tiny house. My main task was various garden work, always in a relaxed working atmosphere. Although Diti really didn't expect much work compared to most hosts, she took a lot of time to show me some beautiful places and the great

Thanks for the good experience and I hope the walk down to the coast walk lasts a while!

Diti responded to my workaway SOS in less than 24 hours (communication had been temporarily cut off with another host on short notice, it all worked out) and wow, I couldn’t have met a better person on such short notice!! We had so many lovely and interesting conversations, she made plenty of room for me to rest and get adjusted and brought me

The work was enjoyable and lovely outside gardening stuff, Diti’s house really is just about as close as you can get to the sea with lots of quiet spots to explore for swimming, surf nearby (if you have a car it’s best) and sunset watching. Diti has a great collection of books and movies, I even got to go out fishing with her brother. She’s incredibly kind and very knowledgeable & involved with the local community, this is a great place to workaway especially if you’re interested in marine conservation, surf & dive during the summer months. Thank you so much Diti for taking me in short notice, I’m so glad I met you, see you soon for our road trip down south!!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Sorry I took so long to leave feedback!
I stayed with Diti for a month, near the very end of my 8 month stay in New Zealand, and I wish I had met her sooner! This was one of my very best experiences doing workaway in NZ and I would HIGHLY recommend her as a host! Xanthe (the cat) is sweet and has the cutest personality and Leigh is beautiful (and

I hope that you can visit me in Texas sometime, Diti, I'd love to have you! :)You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.
