🌊 WE’RE HIRING!

Hi Friends,

We’re looking for someone awesome to join our little team here at Tatapouri.

We’re a fun, hands-on workplace surrounded by nature, and are seeking someone who is friendly, reliable, hardworking and happy to jump in wherever needed.

The role is a mix of reception, guest service, bookings, housekeeping, cleaning and helping with the everyday running of the property — so no two days are quite the same!

We’d love someone who:
- Loves working with people
- Is confident with computers — reception or booking system experience is a big plus
- Isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty
- Can learn quickly and use their initiative
- Can work independently but also in a team.
- Brings a positive attitude and takes pride in what they do

Experience in accommodation or hospitality helps but attitude and work ethic are paramount.

Seasonal or potential to be longer-term. We look forward to hearing from you 🙌

📍 Tatapouri Bay, Gisborne

How lucky are we to wake up to this? 🌅

We hope Tatapouri can be a home away from home for many people, for many years to come. 🤍

Just a little reminder to look after the places we are lucky enough to enjoy — care for our land and ocean, respect our wildlife and community, and leave only footprints behind. 🌿🌊

Let’s keep this little piece of paradise beautiful for everyone who comes after us.
