A Kiwi woman detained in Bali after a drug raid is "doing it tough" and is relying on her family to keep her fed, clothed and healthy while she waits for her day in court.

Leeza Tracey Ormsby, 37, was arrested in Bali on February 12 after police found a large quantity of drugs at a villa where she had been staying.

Sydney-based Ormsby went to the villa north of Kuta beach to pick up her laptop and clothing and police were waiting for her.

They found MDMA and methamphetamine at the house and a joint of cannabis in Ormsby's bag.

She has admitted the joint was hers, but denies she had anything to do with the harder drugs.

Speaking publicly for the first time, her mother, Rangi Morrison, told the Herald that Ormsby had been set up. She believed that straight after she bought the cannabis, the seller tipped off police.

"They got her straight away. When she got to the villa, they just swamped her," said Mrs Morrison, who lives in Western Australia.

She has not been able to speak to her daughter since her arrest. Ormsby's siblings have taken turns travelling to Bali to see her at the Denpasar City police station, where she is sharing a tiny cell with another woman. Visits are short and take place only on Wednesdays and Fridays. Ormsby is not allowed to use the phone and her mother has been too ill to make the trip.

"It's terrible ... not being able to talk to her, talk about how she feels," Mrs Morrison said. "It's just cruel."
