Description
"Together we can co-create the world we want to live in"

A beautiful large lush bush property nestled in the foothills of Kahurangi National Park. Situated next to a 4 day hiking/bike trail just 15 min out of town. I live off the grid, close to the land using sustainable practices. Looking to create a beautiful peaceful place where people can connect more deeply with nature, a place where people can drop out from the fast paced life and be more present with themselves and each other. Have various projects on the go depending on peoples skills and passions which involve bush craft and simple building skills. And there is always plenty to do in my permaculture garden :)

I live a simple alternative lifestyle..growing food, meditating and doing yoga.

If you would like to stay in a peaceful place and experience life in the bush and if you enjoy helping out and creating then please contact me...

Cheers
Djura :)

I am a little overdue with my feedback, but I just wanted to express how beautiful was my experience at Djura's. 100% off grid, in the middle of nowhere, stunning views and peaceful energy. Djura is a very generous host, she is trying to get to know you, make you feel comfortable, and she always makes sure you dont overwork yourself and take… read more

What a great and beautiful time I had at Djura's, each moment spent there is an occasion to connect deeper with yourself and the nature surrounding you.
The land is a fairy place, the bush, the birds, a view that is beyond words, and Djura the pure crystal making the place shine !
Ive never spent my time so simply and purely, and it feels… read more

My time at Djura's was above and beyond my expectations...

I planned to stay for one or two weeks, but ended up staying for two months! Do I need to say more?
Djura's place is a very basic, but wonderful off grid bush property. So no superficial luxury and martialism from everyday life, but there is so much more to gain here!

Djura seems to live… read more

I really value the experience I had with Djura. The location is beautiful and extremely remote. It really gave me the opportunity to slow down which I think is very important when travelling as I realise I was bouncing from location to location without stopping to truly look around.

I feel like as though this workaway is about experiencing life… read more

Djura’s place in an oasis in the bush in which I learned so much! Definitely a place for artists, there is inspiration everywhere! The insight that I gained from being with Djura will benefit me for the rest of my life. This is a magical place that really helped me to heal and grow ❤️

For anyone loving nature and wanting an escape from the busy everyday life this is the perfect experience. Djura is a very lovely person and made me feel very welcome. The work is easy to do, as well. The area is perfect to go on hikes or walks and also the town of Takaka is great :). All in all, it was an amazing experience for me. Thank you!
