Things To Do in Christchurch

Te Onepoto or Taylors Mistake is located to the south-east of Christchurch, New Zealand and is a bay at the northern end of the Banks Peninsula. Te Onepoto means short or little beach in Maori and was originally called Vincent’s Bay. The name is associated with Captain Taylor as he mistook his destination assuming it was Lyttleton Harbour or Sumner Bay. During WW2 there were two machine gun posts on the hills above the beach to protect Godley Head. The area is popular with surfers and swimmers and has many hiking walks and trails. You can also enjoy sunbathing or having a BBQ.
