Housekeeper – Seasonal (October to March)
Orama, Great Barrier Island

Your Responsibilities

Orama is looking for a reliable, detail-oriented Housekeeper to join our accommodation team for the summer season, October through March.

You’ll be the person who makes sure every guest arrives to a spotless, welcoming space. This role covers:

  • Cleaning and preparing guest accommodation between stays to a high standard
  • Cleaning bathrooms and communal guest areas
  • Making beds, restocking guest amenities, and general tidying
  • Managing the in-house laundry for Orama, including guest linen, towels, and accommodation stock
  • Reporting maintenance issues or damage as you find them
  • Working alongside our Guest Services team to keep turnaround times on track, especially on changeover days

Hours: 20–30 hours per week, seasonal (Oct–Mar)

Could this be you?

  • You take pride in doing things well, including the things guests may never see
  • You work efficiently and calmly, even when things get busy
  • You enjoy being part of a team and communicate well with others
  • You’re comfortable with physical work and being on your feet
  • You have some housekeeping, laundry, or hospitality experience — helpful, but not essential
