Job Description

Housekeeping keeps a bush lodge in Richards Bay running quietly in the background. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

  • Clean bathrooms, showers and toilets with the correct colour-coded cloths.
  • Restock minibars, amenities and tea trays and note what was used.
  • Wash, dry and press linen and table cloths in the laundry.
  • Update room status on the housekeeping app or board after each room.

You'll need

  • Weekend and public holiday work
  • Grade 10 or higher
  • Hotel, guesthouse or domestic cleaning experience
  • Fit enough to lift mattresses and push trolleys all day
  • Honest and trustworthy around guest belongings

Extra points for

  • Basic first aid certificate
  • Laundry machine and steam press experience
  • A supervisor course or time spent running a floor

On offer

  • Meals on duty
  • Staff transport from nearby townships for early shifts
  • Uniform and protective gloves supplied

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Richards Bay really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: a short CV or letter listing where you have cleaned plus a reference letter from a past employer.
