Lodge Housekeeper (Game Reserve)

Guests at a game lodge in Johannesburg CBD will never meet you, but they will judge the stay by your work. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The site is in Johannesburg CBD; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Do evening turndowns, closing curtains and setting out slippers
• Report maintenance faults like dripping taps or broken lights
• Log lost property with the guest's room number and date
• Work through a room list, marking rooms clean on the housekeeping board
• Keep your trolley stocked and neat before each shift

• Available on weekends, holidays and in peak season
• Well groomed
• Grade 10 or matric
• Physically able to push trolleys and turn mattresses

• Experience with industrial laundry machines
• Previous hotel or guesthouse housekeeping experience

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

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