Waitakere Resort & Spa welcomes new GM

Duncan Mackenzie has been appointed as the new General Manager at Waitakere Resort & Spa and will take over the reins from long-term Managing Director and owner Reg Nevill-Jackson on April 1st.

Waitakere Resort & Spa which has recently rebranded, is nestled in the Waitakere Ranges and is a short drive from Auckland city. The family owned property is managed by New Zealand owned company, Capstone Hotels & Resorts.
Duncan has an extensive hotel background most recently fulfilling the role of General Manager at Heritage Hanmer Springs. His New Zealand hotel experience ranges across most aspects of hotel operations, experience which Capstone Hotels’ Managing Director Clare Davies believes will stand him in good stead. “Waitakere Resort & Spa is a boutique 26 room property with a strong conference market as well as leisure and local focus. It’s the kind of property which requires a hands-on management approach and we are delighted to have Duncan’s depth of experience and enthusiasm on board to help us drive the hotel to the next level”.

Nevill-Jackson continues to own the property along with his family and will be stepping back after 24 years at the helm.

Capstone Hotels & Resorts work with 14 properties located throughout New Zealand along with a number of activity operators.
