4-star lodge, St Lucia, KwaZulu-Natal

A privately owned 4-star lodge is creating a new, all-rounder role for an organised and trustworthy Admin, HR & Accounts person. This is a live-in position on the estate, ideally suited to someone who enjoys bringing order to systems and thrives in a small, hands-on team.

You will report to the lodge owners and the Lodge Manager, working closely with the Duty Managers and the Operations team.

The role at a glance

Accounts & finance

Payroll preparation (Pastel), staff accounts and month-end tip calculations for submission to our accountants. Processing bank statements and month-end accounts in Sage, and integrating our reservations system (Semper) and bank deposits with Sage. Debtors, creditors, petty cash, daily cash-up checks and loading payments for approval. Month-end reporting on occupancy, spend, turnover and forecasts, plus reservations and agent statistics drawn from Semper.

HR & administration

Keeping contracts, job descriptions and SOPs current, signed and correctly filed. Coordinating staff training against those SOPs, running performance and monthly review cycles, and carrying out staff accommodation checks. Maintaining guides’ qualifications, permits and licences.

Systems & compliance

Digitising and networking all records, and taking ownership of our Google Drive filing structure and shared calendars, including renewal reminders. Managing the key register and lodge security protocols, and ensuring staff adhere to lodge policy.

What we’re looking for

Solid bookkeeping experience to trial balance, ideally with Sage and Pastel Payroll. Hospitality or lodge experience is a strong advantage, as is familiarity with Semper or a similar PMS. Confident with Excel and Google Workspace. Discretion, accuracy and self-discipline matter more here than a long CV — you’ll be handling confidential financial and staff information with minimal supervision. A valid driver’s licence is required, and a signed non-disclosure agreement is a condition of employment.

What we offer

A single live-in position with accommodation and meals provided, in a beautiful natural setting near iSimangaliso Wetland Park. Salary is negotiable based on experience. Because this is a newly created role, responsibilities will be refined with you over time, and you may occasionally be asked to assist with other reasonable tasks.
