YOU LOVE THE FOOD AND HOSPITALITY WE PROVIDE! 
NOW JOIN THE TEAM!

We are located in the heart of The Catlins rainforest, Otago (1.5 hours North of Invercargill and 2 hours South of Dunedin on the Southern Scenic Route), so recommend people to apply who enjoy working and living in a semi- remote location, with lots of outdoor walks and activities available in the area to enjoy. 

The benefit of this is that you can work lots of hours and save your money, without the temptation of the city life. Enjoy beautiful beaches, waterfalls, sea caves, mirror lakes and more. Having your own vehicle and a full drivers license is also recommended.

If you want to work and learn in a professional environment, where what you do matters, then don't be shy to apply. 

Our season starts in October and ends in late May.
 
We encourage applicants to have all of the following core attitudes:
  1. Self Control (Maintain composure, keep emotions in check, control anger and avoid aggressive behavior, even in difficult situations)
  2. Integrity (Doing what is right, even when no one is looking)
  3. Dependable (Reliable, responsible and can fulfil obligations)
  4. Co-Operation (Work well in a team, pleasant and positive to others, display a good natured attitude)
  5. Attention to Detail (take pride in your work, completing tasks to a suitable standard)

We offer quality brand new, on-site staff accommodation with a large gathering space and  communal gourmet kitchen near our park. No utilities or leases to worry about. Just bring your food and clothes and pay a weekly subsidised rent. Travellers, Singles, Couples and Friends are welcome to apply. 

A Valid New Zealand Working Holiday Visa or New Zealand right to work is all you need.  

Enjoy life & work in the heart of The Catlins Coastal Conservation Park.
Being close enough to civilisation without being too far, is a great way to save money for your future. Take side trips to Queenstown, Dunedin, Invercargill and Stewart Island. Have an amazing summer, with lots of fun people, events, outdoor walks, waterfalls, surfing, photography and wildlife activities nearby. 
Truly a summer to remember..! It's daylight till 10.30 pm at this latitude.


This property is an accredited training facility in all aspects of hospitality, from chefing, baking and coffee making to housekeeping & FOH . You will have the opportunity to complete plenty of hours, be trained by the best in the business, work with like-minded people and save money for your future. 
Having your own vehicle and a full drivers license is also a plus.



Please include your current CV, in your application or cover letter. We can discuss the details of the position on a 'Skype' interview.
