What secrets does Ohariu Bay hold? Ohariu Bay, a tranquil slice of paradise just outside Wellington. This bay is more than meets the eye. It’s a place steeped in history and Maori legend. The name Ohariu itself is a clue to the past. It’s a corruption of the original Maori name Owhariu. Legend has it that the great Polynesian explorer Kupe once stopped here to dry the sails of his canoe. This event became etched in the Maori memory, giving the bay its name. In the 19th century, Ohariu Bay was divided into Country Sections by the New Zealand Company. These sections were sold to settlers, transforming the landscape into a tapestry of farms. Today, Ohariu Bay remains a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. As you stand here, breathing in the fresh air and listening to the gentle lapping of the waves, remember the stories whispered on the wind. Ohariu Bay is a testament to the enduring power of nature and the rich tapestry of human history.
