Listing live now. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Lodge Manager in Westville, and we encourage applicants from across KwaZulu-Natal to consider this opportunity.
About This Position
The Lodge Manager position is part of an ongoing recruitment drive across KwaZulu-Natal. The brief has been shaped carefully, with a focus on delivery in Westville and across the hospitality jobs space.
Equally, the successful applicant is given the room to plan, deliver and review their work without unnecessary noise. The organisation has built its Westville team on trust, and the Lodge Manager role will feel that from week one.
Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Westville teams, and the new Lodge Manager will feel that from the first week.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Lodge Manager to step into the hospitality jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across KwaZulu-Natal.
B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Westville.
