Job Description

Housekeeping keeps a bush lodge in eMalahleni running quietly in the background. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

You'll be based at a bush lodge in eMalahleni. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What your day looks like

  • Restock minibars, amenities and tea trays and note what was used.
  • Wash, dry and press linen and table cloths in the laundry.
  • Vacuum, mop and dust rooms from top to bottom.
  • Update room status on the housekeeping app or board after each room.
  • Mix chemicals safely and store them as the MSDS sheet shows.
  • Inspect rooms against the checklist before release to front office.

You'll need

  • Honest and trustworthy around guest belongings
  • You can finish around 14 rooms in a shift
  • Hotel, guesthouse or domestic cleaning experience
  • You work neatly and notice a hair on a pillow
  • Grade 10 or higher
  • Fit enough to lift mattresses and push trolleys all day

Nice if you have

  • Basic first aid certificate
  • A supervisor course or time spent running a floor
  • Chemical handling training

What's in it for you

  • Staff transport from nearby townships for early shifts
  • Uniform and protective gloves supplied
  • Monthly award for best room scores

  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.
