This is your golden opportunity to manage a motel business, with the flexibility and rewards from working directly with an engaged owner.

Our motel

The Bentleigh Motor Inn is a quality three and a half star motel perfectly positioned in the centre of Coffs Harbour, an easy walking distance to the City Centre, shopping complexes, and restaurants.

Guests find our wide choice of motel accommodation styles the perfect place to stay, whether for business or leisure. There is a range of bedding configurations suitable for corporate and holiday travel as well as family stays.

We pride ourselves on genuine hospitality.

Position objective and working relationship

This role is ideal for a hands-on, guest-focused two-person team that takes pride in their work and is committed to delivering exceptional service. However, if you are a sole operator and also take great pride in your work and are committed to delivering exceptional service, please apply. The role includes responsibility for all day-to-day motel operations, team leadership, and ensuring compliance with all relevant WHS, fire, licensing, and essential services legislation. The successful applicant/s will also support and lead the housekeeping team.

The owner welcomes new ideas, encourages open discussion and is committed to excellence, so the same is expected from our new managers.
