Royal Mail Hotel prides ourselves as working as a business where we treat our staff as part of our family. Our permanent crew comes from various backgrounds and former careers bringing into the place many interesting ideas where we like to run our business a little different than the older “traditional” country Australian hotels.
Royal Mail Hotel is a very customer focused business, and we rely as much on passing trade as we do local business. We fully recognise that in today’s busy world people have seemed to forgotten the little things that matter and it’s those “back to basics” little things that we try to make sure we do.
As a part of this we constantly employ many different staff from all over the globe. We have both overseas and local people as a part of our family, all who bring a little bit of something to the pub that makes it an interesting place to live and work. Many of our wonderful backpackers we have often returned on their way back through to work with us for a few more months, or to fill us in on their travels and stop for a few nights…. a home away from home.
Some of our staff our now back on their second trip to OZ and have come back to work with us a third time around.
Private staff accommodation is provided on the second story of the hotel with each staff member having their own personal air conditioned room. These are equipped with a personal refrigerator, television and a double bed. A huge central private common room is provided with amenities including, refrigerator, lounge suite, dining table, television, board games, tea & coffee making facilities, microwave, DVD player and extensive DVD library. Toilet and shower facilities are shared with other staff. All meals are generally provided for full time employees.
Staff have at their leisure a personal balcony that is prime position for the best sunsets, a private rear yard, laundry facilities, and a six seater heated spa.
As a small business we all do a little bit of everything here. Our staff are required to do a variety of tasks here including bar work, housemaid duties, restaurant and kitchen hand duties. Work hours are broken up with full time staff working 35-40 hours per week, with flexible rostering that gives consideration to your previous shift, to make sure it’s not all work and no play. While previous experience in the hospitality industry is desired, we are always happy to accommodate employees who are willing to learn and be an active member of our crew.
So if you’re chasing a uniquely Australian experience in a very Aussie outback town, if you want to meet some “fair dinkum” Aussie's, while saving some money for your next stage of your trip, the Royal Mail Hotel just may be the place for you.
From the humble beginnings of the little old Royal Mail Hotel, we are constantly and proudly expanding our family around the globe, so if you think you want to be a part of our global family, feel free to contact us anytime on +61 8 9981 1148 or email: royalmail@benet.net.au
