Job Description
Cook / All-Rounder – Remote Coastal Queensland
Are you an experienced Cook / Front of House all-rounder looking to escape the crowds and experience life in a small, remote coastal Queensland community?
This varied role offers a great mix of kitchen and bar duties, giving you plenty of variety throughout your working week.

Working alongside a small, close-knit summer team, this is a hands-on role ideally suited to someone who enjoys variety, is happy to pitch in wherever needed and thrives in a relaxed, team-focused environment.
