Lodge Receptionist

About the job

Job Description

We are looking for a candidate with excellent communication skills, strong computer abilities, a high level of attention to detail and the ability to multitask. This role requires skills with managing guest relationships and delivering high standards of communication; both written and spoken.

This role would be ideal for someone with experience in a Rosewood Hotel or Resort.

What you will do:

This role has a strong focus on administration to ensure a smooth experience for our guests. This includes;

  • Being the central communication centre for the Lodge,
  • Collating guest accounts, balancing daily audits, answering telephones and general guest correspondence,
  • Day to day tasks associated with room reservations ensuring exceptional experiences for our discerning guests,
  • Assisting guests with activities,
  • Administration tasks to ensure the smooth running of the front office department and lodge.


What you will bring:

As well as your passion for service delivery and for luxury hospitality, you will have -

  • Some previous experience in a similar role, ideally within the hospitality sector 
  • A confident and professional telephone manner
  • The ability to multi-task, prioritize and organise
  • A high level of attention to detail and exceptional organisational skills
  • Immaculate presentation
  • Knowledge and experience OPERA (or similar) would be an advantage, but not essential.


This is a unique role and one that differs greatly from a typical hotel or resort reception role. High energy levels, attention to detail and exceptional communication skills are critical to your success. 

What we offer:

We offer competitive wages, delicious staff lunches and access to our Staff Perks Programme with a wide range of discounts and deals with our suppliers and partners.  In addition, we endeavour whenever possible to provide staff with 2 days in a row off each week. 

Due our private and remote location, you will need to have your own reliable transport. You will also need a valid working holiday visa or New Zealand work rights to apply.

If you wish to apply for this role and have the attributes above, we'd love to hear from you.
