Job description

Say goodbye to traffic jams and hello to a legendary commute. Join the team at the iconic Colonel's Homestead at Walter Peak, and your ride to work will be an epic boat trip across the Lake.

We're on the hunt for enthusiastic Food & Beverage legends to join our vibrant crew at one of Queenstown's most iconic destinations. If you're already in Queenstown and ready to hit the ground running, we want to hear from you.

Whether you're a barista pro, a hospitality hero, or just someone who loves making people feel welcome, you'll thrive in our fun, close-knit team. At Colonel's Homestead, it's top-tier service with a serious side of good vibes.

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience in Food & Beverage
• Barista skills and/or bar knowledge
• A passion for creating memorable guest experiences
• Based in Queenstown, or arriving and ready to start in September
• Right to work in NZ, or a current Working Holiday Visa (please note: we're not able to offer sponsorship for these roles)
• A Duty Manager's Certificate is a bonus, but not essential

What's in it for you:

• Full-time summer roles with guaranteed hours
• Epic staff perks: bring a mate and explore RealNZ's adventures free or at a sweet discount, think whitewater rafting, Te Anau Glowworm Caves, Milford and Doubtful Sound cruises, and Rakiura adventures
• A workplace views can't buy and a boat commute nobody else can claim

Ready to trade the daily grind for a lake cruise to work?

Real people, real places, real experiences. Welcome to Real.

When's the best time to join the Real whānau? Now's good.

We're the conservation business that's enabled by tourism. We're helping the world, one guest at a time, fall in love with conservation. We're inspiring people to leave their places in better conditions than when they found them. We channel a guest-centric approach that fuels our genuine promise to deliver Aotearoa's most unforgettable experiences.

It's our workplace environment that makes careers at RealNZ more exciting than the regular job. Working for Real could mean you're based anywhere between a secluded island, a scenic fiord, and a snow-capped maunga. Our people, places, and workdays are a great and diverse mixture. It keeps us on our toes and adds value and passion to our work.

At RealNZ, we're committed to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. Guided by our values of Pono (Keep it real) and He waka eke noa (We're all in this together), we embrace and celebrate the unique perspectives and experiences that make our team stronger. Everyone is welcome here.
