• Load, wash, dry and press linen in the hotel laundry
• Log lost property with the guest's room number and date

• Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season

• Previous hotel or guesthouse housekeeping experience

• Staff accommodation at remote lodges
• Meals on duty from the staff kitchen
