Job Description
Chef & All-Rounder Couple – Eyre Highway
$36.85–$48.07 per hour + Discounted Accommodation & Meals
Commencement: 25 October 2026
Are you an experienced hospitality couple looking for your next remote adventure?
We’re currently seeking an experienced Chef & All-Rounder couple to join a busy, well established tourist venue located along the iconic Eyre Highway connecting Western Australia to South Australia.
This is a true outback hospitality experience catering to a mix of in-house guests, road-tripping travellers, passing tourists and staff, this bustling 7-day operation offers a variety of services including fuel, retail, bar, restaurant, motel accommodation and caravan park facilities.
You will work with a fantastic team of staff both front and back of house to provide delicious meals and outstanding customer service.
Being a remote, standalone property, this opportunity offers a great chance to escape the hustle and bustle, focus on saving money and experience a completely different lifestyle. Spend your time off exploring the surrounding region, discovering the rugged landscapes of the Nullarbor and enjoying the wide-open spaces, spectacular sunsets and unique experiences that remote Australia has to offer.
Remote living isn’t for everyone, so we’re looking for a couple who are comfortable with the isolation, enjoy a close-knit team environment and can adapt to the practical realities of living and working in an outback location.
