We are looking committed volunteers to assist in our reception area in a role that is primarily administrative and guest-facing. You will be responsible for managing check-ins and check-outs, handling reservations and payments, coordinating guest needs, maintaining cash flow, and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.
