Dirk and all the other beautiful Souls welcomed me very chilled and friendly. I was invited to spend my time where I want and so I stayed at both, the Casa and the Finca outside. Both Spaces are beautiful little Diamonds. In the deep Heart of Manacor I enjoyed the Silence of this Place only thirty Meters to the Marketplace with fresh Vegetables… read more

Dirk is a lovely person, kind and has a good sense of humour. He is a wonderful artist as well. He picked me up and drove me back to the train station and we visited his beautiful old finca where he has cats and a feisty goat, she is funny full of personality. I ate some fruits fresh from the trees.

Dirk is our first host in the experience of workaway so it will always be remembered. Such a soft voice and personality he is, visionary, real artist in any sense, despite the paintings and instruments, also with all the installation and improvisation in and around the house. For us it was a big challenge the weather at that time, and being with a… read more

I stayed with Dirk in the summer/autumn of 2014, in the winter of 2014/15 and again in the spring of 2015. It was wonderful to see (and photograph) all four seasons at the finca. It is a very special, beautiful and uplifting place. The views are sublime and the peace is serene. Dirk is a good man, a true artist and an exceptional host. He is an… read more

We stayed with Dirk for nearly three weeks and we have to thank him first and most of all of saving us and excepting us very last minute after another host let us down. It was interesting to see a different lifestyle with an artist, a boheme living to his own tunes:-) We found Dirk very gentle, introvert personality, fun and carring, maybe a… read more

We stayed in Dirk's Finca for 21 days and we tried to insert ourselves "in the flora and fauna of the place": 5 cats, one sweet dog and a spiteful goat. We helped Dirk into small works of restoration in the house at the center of Manacor, which in future will be a vegetarian restaurant: cleaning and impregnation of the wooden beams on the ceiling… read more

This experience has been great! Dirk has been the kindest host, really nice and welcoming. He showed me around the east part of the island, shared his life story and cooked delicious food. Thanks a lot Dirk, it's been awesome!
