A sense of place is created through care — seen and unseen.

On a wine estate, luxury is not defined by excess, but by consistency, calm, and the quiet perfection of every space. From guest rooms to shared areas, every detail contributes to an environment that feels considered, effortless, and complete.

The Role

We are seeking a Housekeeping Manager / Assistant Housekeeping Manager to lead or support the housekeeping function within a luxury wine estate in Franschhoek.

This role will be shaped by the level of experience brought by the successful candidate — either stepping fully into a leadership position or supporting the department head in delivering exceptional standards across the estate.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Leading or supporting the daily housekeeping operations across all guest and public areas
• Maintaining impeccable standards of cleanliness, presentation, and consistency
• Conducting detailed room and public area inspections
• Managing or supporting team scheduling, performance, and development
• Overseeing or assisting with stock control, linen management, and ordering
• Implementing and maintaining SOPs and quality control systems
• Ensuring that every space reflects the calm, refined nature of the estate
• Supporting a culture of accountability, pride, and attention to detail within the team

What We’re Looking For

• Experience within a luxury hotel, lodge, or estate environment
• Strong attention to detail and high personal standards
• Organised, structured, and proactive approach to operations
• Ability to lead or support a team with clarity and consistency
• A calm, professional presence with a strong sense of responsibility

What Sets You Apart

• A deep appreciation for understated luxury and sense of place
• Pride in creating environments that feel effortless and considered
• A natural ability to notice and act on the smallest details
• Strong ownership and accountability for standards
• The ability to balance operational efficiency with guest experience

If you take pride in creating calm, refined, and impeccably maintained spaces — and understand the role detail plays in shaping a guest experience — we would love to hear from you. Please submit your CV with a brief motivation outlining your experience in a luxury housekeeping environment.
