Matavai Resort has appointed a new General Manager, James Shilton. Shilton originally from Wales has resided in Broome Australia for the last 10 years.
He brings years of experience in hospitality and was previously with the Mangrove Resort Hotel in Broome.
Shilton, who arrived in Niue three weeks ago says he was inspired to take up the role at Matavai after watching a documentary of Niue on National Geographic.
Under his leadership the resort will undergo significant refurbishments to achieve a 4.5 star rating commencing in January that will include an upgrade to the bar, reception area, and its 20 suite rooms.
Shilton will lead the Matavai Resort in Niue for a five year term.
