Guesthouse Housekeeper

You'll turn rooms around at a conference hotel in Stellenbosch so every guest walks into a room that feels new. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

You'll report in Stellenbosch. Relocation is not covered for this one.

• Clean lobby, lifts and public toilets through the day
• Report maintenance faults like dripping taps or broken lights
• Strip and make beds to the hotel's standard, hospital corners included
• Load, wash, dry and press linen in the hotel laundry
• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers

• Honest, since you work in guests' rooms alone
• Grade 10 or matric
• Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season
• Physically able to push trolleys and turn mattresses
• Well groomed

• A hospitality short course or NQF Level 2 accommodation services certificate
• Experience with industrial laundry machines

• Share of the service charge or guest tips
• Staff accommodation at remote lodges
• Meals on duty from the staff kitchen

• Write how many rooms you usually cleaned per shift. Head housekeepers care about pace as much as quality.
• Mention seasonal availability for December and Easter. Coastal and lodge properties hire heavily before those peaks.
