Help
We need help from those people who enjoy and remain enthusiastic in attending to guests, house keeping and working outdoors in the gardens. We are only interested in couples or 2 x friends (willing to share a queen bed) as this makes completing our daily tasks easier and more efficient. It is essential that you are clean, quiet and well presented at all times, with attention to detail and working to a high standard being very important to us and our business reputation.
Flexible hours are a basic requirement as each day is different depending on the season.
The work is not strenuous and we always try to make our days as fun and as enjoyable as possible? But when our tasks are done you'll have plenty of opportunity to explore and enjoy the chilled out lifestyle of Airlie Beach that awaits you.
We highly value the contribution made by all of our Workaways and in return we strive to make your stay in the Whitsundays a truly memorable and positive experience.
This business complies with local wages laws.
