Guest Room Attendant (Lodge)

Housekeeping at a boutique guesthouse in Polokwane is steady work with room to grow into supervising. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The site is in Polokwane; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.
