Ōhinetahi, is a garden of international significance.  It features over 1.25 hectares of garden, and is also home to two galleries, sculpture and woodland trails, and a significant 19th century homestead. It was gifted to the nation in 2012 and is now run by the Ōhinetahi Charitable Trust.

Ōhinetahi is just 20 minutes over the Port Hills from Christchurch, in the delightful setting of Governor’s Bay.  It is a place of magical beauty with a profound sense of peace and tranquility.  And its gardens are considered to be among the finest in New Zealand,

Ōhinetahi is as well known for its displays of art, architectural works and sculptures as it is for its magnificent grounds. But the gardens have a special significance, dating back to 1865 when then-owner and keen botanist Thomas H Potts began planting them.
