Kailis Hospitality Group (KHG) is an award-winning, WA owned and operated hospitality group behind some of Perth's most loved coastal venues — The Shorehouse (2025 WAGFG Top 100), Gibney (2025 WAGFG Restaurant & Wine List of the Year, 2025 Gourmet Traveller Restaurant of the Year WA) and Magic Apple Wholefoods (WAGFG Top 100).
While each venue has its own identity, they are united by unforgettable service, flavour-driven food, thoughtfully curated beverage offerings and exceptional fit-outs, locations and views. At KHG, we foster a relaxed yet high-performing environment that nurtures talent, encourages growth and celebrates diversity.
Our people are at the heart of everything we do — the better our people, the better our venues. Whether you're on the floor, shaking cocktails, crafting menus or supporting the business behind the scenes, your contribution matters. Joining KHG means becoming part of a community of like-minded hospitality lovers, all driven by a shared goal: creating exceptional dining experiences for every guest who walks through our doors.
