Coming back to good food, with cheeks glowing from the day’s
adventures, is at the heart of the Watergate Bay experience. We want to inspire
our guests with the best seasonal menus, local produce and contemporary dishes,
and give them eating and drinking experiences to remember. It’s all about the balance of life - being active, getting amongst the elements, spoiling yourself a little, and most of all having a good time.
Join us and be a part of a team that values connection,
flexibility, variety, challenge and making a positive impact on peoples' lives.
We're all about making a meaningful impact and our three
core values - We Care, We Notice, We Change – show what it means to work for a
hotel which goes above and beyond for our team and guests. As a member of our team, you'll work alongside others who
prioritise our guests and support one another.
