Join our team, and work at Wānaka’s only lakefront accommodation, restaurant and wedding venue.

Part-Time Porter Position Available!

Are you a hospitality enthusiast with a passion for creating unforgettable guest experiences? We're looking for a part-time Porter to join the Front Office team at Edgewater Lake Wānaka.

At Edgewater Lake Wānaka, we believe in providing our guests with more than just a stay – we offer a journey of relaxation, adventure, and a moment of peace and quiet. As a Porter, you'll be at the forefront of this mission. This position consists of helping guests with baggage and keeping the exterior of the hotel tidy, helping with the setup and pack down of events, lending a hand to different departments when required, and offering exceptional customer service to guests from the moment they arrive.

The position is part-time, Saturday and Sunday 2pm – 10pm. The ideal candidate will be physically fit (as this position requires some lifting), and previous Porter experience is preferred, but not required. You would be reliable, have strong attention to detail and a can-do attitude.

Benefits include:

  • Team member of the month initiatives

  • Milestone recognition and vouchers

  • Staff meals on shift

  • Staff discounts
