Uncommon Ground Group | Middle Swan
We are built from different ground. Uncommon Ground Group originates from a background of creation, not traditional hospitality ownership. We craft spaces, experiences, and moments that matter. Our group encompasses four distinct Swan Valley destinations: Chapel Farm Estate, Oakover Grounds, Beelzebub Brewing Co., and Collector of Souls Distillery. Each venue possesses its own narrative, yet they are unified by a common principle: execute tasks properly, with purpose, and consistently avoid the ordinary. We are not polished for superficial reasons; we are not uniform; we are not typical. We are Uncommon Ground.
Oakover Grounds is embarking on a significant new phase and is assembling a dedicated front-of-house team to contribute to the revitalization of a prominent Swan Valley hospitality destination. We welcome interest from experienced Duty Managers, individuals passionate about weddings and events, or those who derive satisfaction from delivering excellent hospitality.
Positions are scheduled to commence in August 2026.
