Time for a sea change?

If you've dreamt of being a part of something independent and new, where your Front of House hospo leadership experience will have room to flourish and make a real impact... if the idea of living and working on a beautiful island that's only 30 minutes from Fremantle Western Australia is where you can see yourself making it happen, then now is the time.

After launching Stage One — with Sunsets, our Mediterranean-inspired all-day restaurant, the fun-loving Pelican kiosk, and our serene Courtyard and Lake rooms — we’re nearly ready to unveil Stage Two which includes an island first dedicated function and events space.

About the new resort:

Owned by WA locals, The Lodge Wadjemup is being delivered by a carefully curated team of local Western Australian talent. Featuring world-class Western Australian architects, designers and builders alongside the very best in food and beverage and hotel operations, all are working together to make a lasting, positive and compelling part of Rottnest Island and its status as a cultural tourism hub.

Island Accommodation:

The successful candidate will be allocated a private bedroom in a comfortable share house to reside, explore and enjoy the incredible lifestyle Rottnest offers, all for a very low weekly rent that includes all outgoings such as rates, electricity, and water bills.
