Are you a dynamic hospitality leader ready to take on a multi‑site challenge in one of Aotearoa’s most iconic locations?

Haka House is looking for a General Manager to oversee the operations of both Haka House Lake Tekapo and 25 Degrees Lake Tekapo . This is a full‑time, on‑site role based in Lake Tekapo, ideal for someone who thrives in a hands‑on environment and wants to lead from the heart of the action.

  • Leading and supporting site managers across both businesses
  • Driving financial performance, budgeting, and cost control
  • Ensuring compliance with health & safety, food safety, and brand standards
  • Creating a seamless guest experience across both sites
  • Supporting recruitment, onboarding, and team development
  • Acting as the key liaison between Lake Tekapo sites and the wider Haka House team

What You’ll Bring :

  • 3+ years in senior or multi‑site hospitality management
  • Proven leadership across accommodation and / or food & beverage
  • Strong financial acumen and operational decision‑making
  • Excellent communication and team‑building skills
  • A passion for guest experience, team wellbeing, and cultural alignment
  • Why Join Us?

    At Haka House, we’re more than just a place to stay — we’re a movement. Rooted in Māori values and driven by purpose, we’re building a hospitality experience that’s inclusive, adventurous, and deeply connected to place.

    If you’re ready to lead with heart, drive performance, and help shape the future of hospitality in Lake Tekapo — on‑site and in‑person — we’d love to hear from you.

    Apply now and be part of something special.
