Saint Bathans, Otago

 

Management (Hospitality & Tourism)

 

Full time

 

$28 – $30 per hour

Based in the heart of Central Otago is the hidden gem town of Saint Bathans. Settled by Welsh and Irish miners in the mid- to late-nineteenth century, Saint Bathans is rife with rich gold mining history and features a stunning manmade lake mere meters from The Vulcan Hotel.

What we can offer you (the important bit):

  • Great in the summer to sit in the beer garden after work; even greater in winter covered in snow, basking in the serenity afforded by rural living.
  • Only 1h30 to Wanaka, 2h to Queenstown and Dunedin, 3h30 to Te Anau (Doubtful Sound) perfect for people travelling and hoping to spend their weekends exploring the South Island!
  • Good work / life balance. The Maniototo region has loads to offer, think: walks/hikes, ice skating, curling, local history & museums, cafes, swimming, kayaking, etc.
  • Subsidised accommodation available!

Who are we?

  • The Vulcan Hotel is one of New Zealand's oldest pubs - originally built in est. 1862, then later re-established (on the other side of the road) in est. 1882.
  • A motley crue of individuals who want to get the job done, but also are up for a laugh while doing so!
  • A certifiably country town, vast expanses of farm land and a clientele of locals and tourists alike.

What we are looking for?

  • Duty Manager's Certificate is necessary.
  • Experience is preferred, but the appropriate training will be provided regardless!
  • Any barista experience is a bonus, we tend to get a bit busy with coffees (especially on rainy days!)
  • Ideally someone who would like to stick around with us for a minimum of 12 months.
  • Again: someone who is up for a laugh and a good time whilst getting the job done.

Think this sounds like the right fit for you?
