• Relaxed: We are open minded, easy-going and non-judgmental. Through our personal touches and pampering, our guests feel chill, comfortable and cared for.
• Taste: Stunning interiors, local produce, delicious wine offerings... all must be ‘Zagame-worthy’. It’s about instilling wow into everything we do.
• Our environment is collaborative
• We thrive on learning new techniques and having fun
• Each member of the team has the opportunity to achieve daily goals
• Our workplace is beautifully presented, and we have the right tools to do the job
