    Description

    We are a lodge based on the beach In a little town on the Wild Coast, South Africa.
    Our need is for a young energetic traveller who can engage easily with other travellers and assist with creating a fun active vibe in the resort

    Our wish is for you to enjoy your time with us and get enthusiastic about the lodge, wih our guests about the area, the beach and travel life.
    The position is 5 hours/day including dinner and breakfast and accommodation with 2 days off every week. Your focus area will be the helping us with our guest interactions, and helping us socialise with fellow travelers and guests during the course of the day.
    we have great gardens and always value green thumbed travellers and encourage our vollies to spend some time in our local soup kitchen assisting with the food prep for the village kids.

    If you are such a person please let us know your available dates and send us a little bit of info about yourself.
