General Staff (Oct-April)
30-40 hours per week
From $25.30/hr, plus holiday pay, depending on ability and experience
In addition to the regular work, we have a yurt where any staff who are trained in practices such as yoga can offer classes. In warmer months we have kayaks that require a guide for our guests to use them.

$22.70/hr, plus 8% holiday pay
We offer 20 hours a week to exchange for the costs of your on site accommodation and an evening meal every night in our restaurant with the team, effectively a help exchange deal. There may be more hours for the right people who work at a good pace, to a good standard and independently.
For work that requires training, e.g. housekeeping, we ask for a minimum of 3 weeks commitment, but we have plenty of manual work usually for those looking for a shorter stay.
All staff must have the ability to work legally in New Zealand, with a valid bank account and IRD number. We require all our staff to speak English fluently. It is preferable if you have a valid drivers license.
On site accommodation is in the cozy 5 bedroom staff house, with great lake and mountain views. The bills are included and you’ll have access to unlimited high speed wifi, free laundry, a TV room with over 200 DVDs, fully equipped kitchen, bikes, kayaks and hot tub with stunning views. If you like dogs, Holly and Wilbert, our family pets, always appreciate a good walk/swim!
