Front of House

Imagine starting your day in a building that has stood on the shores of Lake Whakatipu for more than a century, watching the light shift across the water as you prepare for a service that locals and visitors alike look forward to. That is life at The Boat Shed Café & Bistro.

Set in the restored New Zealand Railways Shipping Office, the café is more than just a workplace. It is a piece of Queenstown’s history, lovingly brought back to life by the community and now one of the region’s most iconic dining spots. When you join the team, you become part of that story - adding your energy, your hospitality, and your personality to a place that has been welcoming people for generations.

Here, every role matters. Whether you are behind the coffee machine, on the floor with guests, or leading the team, your presence shapes the experience. This is your chance to work in a setting that blends heritage with hospitality, and to be part of a team that values professionalism, connection, and genuine warmth.
