Guesthouse Housekeeper – Permanent

Housekeeping at a game lodge in Stellenbosch is steady work with room to grow into supervising. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The work is in Stellenbosch, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers

• Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season
• Well groomed
• Physically able to push trolleys and turn mattresses
• Friendly and polite if you meet guests in the corridor
