Job Description

If your heartbeat quickens at the thought of sunrise over the Hluhluwe hills, where hospitality meets heart and impact transcends business… this rare opportunity is calling.

Join a team driven by purpose, where every individual contributes to something far greater than their title. As a Lodge Manager, you’ll be the anchor between elegance and authenticity, a leader who not only runs a lodge but nurtures an unforgettable experience.

What You’ll Be Responsible For:
• Crafting warm welcomes and thoughtful farewells for guests
• Handling dietary needs, special requests, and family requirements with grace
• Hosting meals and moments with unmatched attention to detail
• Curating stylish and tidy lodge areas that meet exacting standards
• Collaborating across departments to maintain exceptional service
• Overseeing bar orders and keeping operations flowing smoothly
• Managing staff schedules, performance reviews, and team wellbeing
• Upholding the lodge’s personality, ambiance, and operational excellence

You’re a Match If You:
• Bring 3+ years of camp/lodge management experience with proud results
• Hold a hospitality qualification and a valid SA driver’s license
• Thrive on leadership, initiative, and making people feel valued
• Remain calm under pressure and radiate positivity to guests and staff
• Understand the cultural and environmental heartbeat of the region
• Lead with integrity, attention to detail, and a vision for excellence

The Kind of Team Member We’re Looking For:
• Caring deeply about guests, communities, and the environment
• Bringing passion, professionalism, and a proactive spirit to the table
• Making a meaningful impact every single day

Why This Live-In Role Matters: This isn’t just about managing a lodge—it’s about becoming a custodian of experience, a connector of people and place. Your impact will ripple through every guest you meet and every staff member you guide.

Ready to lead with purpose and create unforgettable guest moments? Apply now and become part of a legacy that turns hospitality into something extraordinary.
