Lodge Housekeeper (Game Reserve)

Guests at a boutique guesthouse in Klerksdorp will never meet you, but they will judge the stay by your work. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

Home base is a boutique guesthouse on the Klerksdorp side of North West.
