Ohinetahi (Māori: Ōhinetahi: "The Place of One Daughter")[1] is a valley, historic homestead, and formal garden on Teddington Road, Governors Bay, Christchurch, Canterbury region, New Zealand. Ohinetahi valley is situated at the head of Lyttelton Harbour, at the base of the Port Hills.[2] While the Ohinetahi Homestead is considered to be a significant historic building in the small settlement of Governors Bay,[3] the formal garden of Ohinetahi is considered to be one of New Zealand's finest.[4] Amongst the early owners of Ohinetahi were Canterbury pioneer William Sefton Moorhouse and Thomas Potts, New Zealand's first conservationist. Sir Miles Warren, architect of the Christchurch Town Hall, was the last private owner, and gifted it to New Zealand.[5][6]
