How it all started
Following the prosperous creation of Pauanui Waterways, Hopper Developments embarked on a new venture by acquiring the land at One Tree Point in 2004, laying the foundation for the exciting Marsden Cove Waterways project. The first lot of sections was unveiled in November 2005, marked by a thrilling on-site auction that saw the sale of over 50 sections on the very same day.
Fast forward to October 2023, there have been roughly 150 canal front sections and 200 non-canal sections created to date, with future plans to create an additional 120 canal and 200 non-canal sections. Upon completion, the extensive canal waterways will span an approximate 4.5 kilometers in total.
Lock & Weir
Marsden Cove is home to New Zealand’s largest sophisticated Lock & Weir system, designed to create a private and exclusive waterfront environment in the second and future stages of the canal development. Essentially, sections fronting the locked canal stages have the added benefit of an everlasting high tide, and private key access on the water to their waterfront properties.
