Your Waterway Lodge Host

Gray Hopper, amongst other attributes,is a fisherman extraordinaire and skilled experienced diver with an infectious enthusiasm for life.

Gray and his family have been brought up helping to shape the
Coromandel as both a sought after holiday destination and desirable home to hundreds of New Zealanders for the past 40 years.    Gray's knowledge of the local area and its waters is second to none, and spends most of his free time playing in this little part of paradise.

Starting at a young age, Gray has had the opportunity and the experiences that only a handfull of kiwi blokes his age have achieved, including, fishing, diving, hunting, waterskiing, boating, flying, 4x4 and much more.

Our philosophy is that people make the experience. With Gray you get a person with a widely recognised reputation, a typical kiwi bloke with humility and the desire to provide the ultimate experience for his guests.
