Move to the Maniototo!

If you're looking for an incredible lifestyle, spectacular scenery, and a job where no two days are the same, we'd love to hear from you.

The Wedderburn Tavern has been serving the Maniototo community since 1885 and is the heart of our local district. Open seven days a week, we're a busy country pub serving great food, cold drinks, and plenty of good yarns.

We're looking for an enthusiastic, friendly Bar Person to join our hardworking, fun-loving team.

What you'll find here:

  • A genuine rural community that looks after its own.
  • A lively mix of locals, cyclists and travellers exploring the Central Otago Rail Trail.
  • A stunning 10-acre property surrounded by some of New Zealand's most beautiful farming country.
  • A workplace where the beer is always cold... and yes, probably colder than your ex's heart. 🍺

What we're looking for:

  • A positive attitude and great people skills.
  • Someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment.
  • Reliability and a willingness to muck in wherever needed.
  • Previous hospitality experience is a bonus, but personality counts just as much.

What we offer:

  • Accommodation provided.
  • A fantastic country lifestyle.
  • A supportive team and plenty of laughs along the way.

Please note: There is no public transport in the area, so you'll need your own vehicle.

If you're ready to trade traffic lights for starry nights and become part of a great country pub, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now and come experience rural hospitality at its best.
