Guest Room Attendant (Lodge)

Housekeeping at a conference hotel in Umhlanga is steady work with room to grow into supervising. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The site is in Umhlanga; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.
