Life is Simple Just Add Water.
WHY COASTAL LIVING IN NZ IS SUPREME.
In the realm of coastal living, New Zealand stands supreme, boasting some of the most breathtaking seaside landscapes on the globe. We Kiwis are truly fortunate to have such natural wonders at our doorstep. At the forefront of harnessing this coastal beauty for lifestyle living are Hopper Developments, a name synonymous with premier coastal property. The journey began in the 1950s with the pioneering efforts of Ian and Tony Hopper from Whangaparaoa, who laid the foundation of what would become a legacy in property development. It was Leigh Hopper, representing the second generation, whose visionary approach led to the creation of the renowned Pauanui Waterways, setting the precedent for canal developments in Whitianga and Marsden Cove.
As time marched on, the Hopper family expanded, as did their business, steadfast in their commitment to crafting lifestyle property. Today, the baton has been passed to the third generation—Gray, Shana, and Andy —who continue to steer the company towards new horizons, diversifying its portfolio, yet maintaining a special emphasis on their signature Waterways developments.
These Waterways projects are no small feat, representing over 30 years of meticulous planning and execution to create communities that are not only attractive but also enduring and cohesive. Take for instance, Whitianga Waterways, a project that began in 2001 progresses to incorporate residential property, waterfront and commercial retail spaces, a medical centre, and a newly added retirement village, all under the Hopper banner.
The philosophy driving Hoppers is simple yet profound, as Leigh Hopper once said, “Life is not a Dummy Run.” It’s about seizing the moment and living life to the fullest,
With projects like Marsden Cove in Whangarei Harbour and the Waterways in Whitianga and Pauanui, Hoppers invites you to experience the pinnacle of coastal living in New Zealand.
