Casual Staff Wanted

Payment: Accommodation & Paid ($23.95/hr - see description for info)
Location: Kinloch Wilderness Retreat
Region: Otago/Queenstown/Wanaka
Experience: Experience Necessary
Listing Added: 24/08/2026
Company: Kinloch Lodge

We are on the lookout for people who'd like to experience a stunning remote location, without the costs, and help us keep preserving and operating this special Heritage business.

Key roles include housekeeping, cleaning, kitchen hand, service & maintenance and projects. We will do our best to use your skills in areas of interest to you.

We're looking for enthusiastic people who take pride in their work and are able to work independently. You must have the right to work in New Zealand and be in the country when applying.

Key responsibilities are ensuring our accommodations are spotless and welcoming, the property is in top shape and our guests are happy and well cared for.

We ask for 17hrs work a week, usually rostered as 3.5hrs work across 5 days a week, to cover your accommodation. Shifts vary between AM, PM, and splits. Paid extra hours may be available for the right people if business levels allow.

A 3 week minimum is requested due to the training we put in, and staff need to be fluent English speakers for ease of communication.

Accommodation is a private room for couples, and may be a shared room for singles. You'll have free high speed wifi, access to our kayaks, staff bicycles, fishing rods and the hot tub, sauna and yoga yurt!

You organise and cook your own groceries in the fully-equipped kitchen. If you don't have a car groceries can be delivered to Glenorchy or we can help with pickups.

You are treated as staff here rather than travellers staying in a host's home and there's a great team to work with.

If you’re versatile, hardworking, and eager to work in a beautiful environment, we’d love to hear from you!
